Like all things trading â I canât tell you what is best for you
I do use the 1 min
I see it as building (the foundation of) the candles â that build the candles in my trading TF â that in turn build the candles in my higher TF (the TF I follow)
I also use it to identify stop runs (which gives me a warm and fuzzy on whatâs about to happen)
I also use the volume off a 1 minute â a lot
But as with all things Sir â if it doesnât add â then by default â it detracts
Take Care
YEEEEEE HAAAAAAA

Mr RN,
I have somehow gotten the impression over the years that you are waaaaay better at what we do than I am.
But as Bighog said in a previous post. It's like the 5 minute chart just said "welcome home". And they give me the warm fuzzies you are talking about.
However there are circumstances, like the ESRX chart I posted a couple of days ago, when the 1 minute says "Get your ass over here and give me some luvin RIGHT NOW!" Well, I am a simple midwestern boy, so I oblige when she yells like that.
But when things are "normal" and the little vixen looks at me from across the way and wiggles her finger at me, I am simply trying to train myself to sit on the porch and wave at her from across the Mississippi, and just say howdy while not giving into temptation.

Please donât
In the pastâ¦
Iâve blown up
Iâve held losers too long
Iâve exited winners too early
Iâve been so nervous/ scared â my hands shook/ palms were sweaty
Iâve yelled, cussed, screamed and slapped myself â in shear disgust and frustration over my actions/ inactions
These days
I never know whatâs going to happen next
I have losing trades (at least one nearly every day)
I screw up
And at the end of the day, I am but a simple minded trader
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Patience is a pita⦠but it is necessary (no matter the TF)
Hereâs to you finding nirvana Sir

Me too
Maybe that blue collar work ethic - is the best education anyone could get
And worth its weight in gold...
Hauling hay in the summer... Feeding and Milking in the winter.... Fixing stuff that breaks - constantly...
Miss those days - well sort of
eta - one of the lessons my mom taught me early on - learn to work with your head, or your back - you decide (that was a several decades ago, but I still remember it)

Oh my God.. The stacking, dealing with the moldy hay and corn.. Well I suppose we could bitch and bitch. But many still wouldn't understand, because they don't know what true work is. I worked on my neighbors fucking farm 12 hours a day, because they needed the help. Finally, the grandpa gave me 50 bucks after it was all done, because he felt guilty, not because I asked for it..
It was a different time.... So different now. Even just a few years later...
