Internals - The most important indicator for me! Whats yours?

Quote from Handle123:

I believe as one's experience of screen time evolves, knowing when to give price an extra minute before locking in a tick of profit is impossible to explain, but if one keeps the mouse moving checking previous highs/lows even if they are not pivots can aid me in taking profit earlier than a target.

Screen time is something every serious trader should adhere to religiously. However, subjective judgement on profit or loss exits is something I am really scared of.

After screen time comes the book time, meaning keep on advancing the market reading skills after market close or end of trading targets for the day. At a real advantage are those who know trading software programming like TS and others.

Quote from RangeTrader:

I dunno man. I have been watching internals a long time. They confirm which direction the market is currently moving, how fast it's moving. Etc...

Look at 4-26... With internals like that you instantly know that any down move is fake. Take any buy setups and win!

Of course, internals might not be too useful to people who are not futures traders.

I am in a trade for at most 30 minutes. Usually 10-20 minutes.

I tend to do exactly the same thing. Internals set the tone for the day. It's not that they signal trades so much as they suggest whch way to lean and what kind of moves to expect.
