easiest money in my life

Darc · Nov 21, 2023

At this point I'm reading and assessing Al Brooks (and about 6 other Trading books) and hoping he's got an I.Q. greater than mine and @Laissez Faire s combined and really is a Genius.

When Padu was a child his main chore was to feed the goats. Although our family is wealthy and influential l, we decided to pay him in Monopoly money.

Little Padu would take his Monopoly money to the convenience store to buy candy. (In India most convenience stores are run by hillbillies from Arkansas.) The owner played along.

So when my adult son is earning Monopoly money in the markets, he thinks it's real.

I'm sorry Padu.

Whichever user's alt this is, you should know that you are just absolutely fucking irritating and annoying with the BS spam at this point. You think you are being funny and you are being that, but, totally NOT! Everyone needs to report you to get you the hell out of here. BOTH of your accounts if you are an alt, because you are violating the TOS by having two, or being a previously-banned nick.

Merry Christmas.

Padu is a good Person with a good Heart. Be careful not to insult a good Person.

I'm a fan of Padu. Where's the insult? He's a top trader.

Seconded. I'll admit that I chuckled at the first post or two, but it quickly got old. Additionally, @Baron should consider letting us all know who this sick individual is with way too much time on their hands.

Why so angry?

I should probably setup a competing traders journal from my mentor Mel Brooks. If you would like to take bets amongst yourselves that would be nice.

Trader 1: Someone using TST following a guy that they've lost money for 20 years following, all the while, they continue to have light bulb moments of how right this spooky trading guru is.

Trader 2: Someone trading micro eminis (not paying anyone but the market/broker for the opportunity) and scaling up in a methodical manner.

What exactly would you do with the info provided if I was outed? You're a clown.

But what about the bar that just started after 5min, shell I wait for this bat to? When to wait and when to execute. New bar always start right after previous bar. By this principal I don't know when to pull the trigger.

enter on

He can't. He can't say if the tail of the bar contain imbalance or rotation ( for example). Same for the whole bar. But maybe he can.. Who knows.

the bar close solidifies the position in time. A candles ability to change shape dramatically even in the last few seconds of trading makes backtesting unreliable. If you base your setups off of information that will be available to you when live...it helps bridge the gap between fantasy land and reality.

fast market: place order after close<->open occurs
slow market: be ready to enter after close<->open occurs...i will often use a price engulfment (in a slow market with smaller bars) to confirm direction ...because you never know with complete certainty which direction it will go...worth paying a few cents IMO.
