As for posting pictures in Windows the best way is: Ctrl+Print Screen, then open Paint and Ctrl+V there. Then save this pasted image in a .jpg or .png format (by using Ctrl+S).

Hope it helps. :)
 
Best way is using specialising software for example screenrifle /it is for free/. Advantage of it is that you can simple take picture of just of part screen so you do not need resize it, etc.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: DELAING WITH EMOTION

Precision trading is what we are moving toward and that requires strict rules, tight stops and high probability trades. There's no averaging in/out, averaging a loss, target setting etc. Those rules are a must for a different style of trading but are useless for us. This is much too fast and too fluid. You are either right or wrong so back it to the hilt and get out fast if it doesn't do what you expected. There's no fear of big profits i.e. take off 33/50% at a level because you don't know what's next. We look to catch a trend and for the passing of a set-up from one T/f to a larger T/f recognising the bigger signals brings in bigger traders.

We want to learn to identify the end of tradable chop and the beginning of a run or a creeping trend and trade as best suits the move... swinging or positioning. No reading psychology - you either read the market or you read psychology to help you overcome the mental damage inflicted from neither understanding the trend nor what a quality set-up is.

Failure often means reverse and the earlier you can recognise it the more likely you reverse with a scalp profit resulting in close to “always in” trading. But for now it's a step by step process to recognise how timeframes talk to each other and this comes back to where we began... drills on clear signals and especially taking entries that fill other traders with fear that we now understand to be the safest, highest quality for traders.

If you must get attached to a trade or your market view in spite of what PA is telling you, then you need a less demanding method of trading and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that – we are all in this for a profit. But if you sit in a trade for 6 hrs while it’s running against you with style, become convinced the trend is set in stone and decide to “join it”, you are going to be expelled penniless form this game.

I’ve shown a few charts where we can use emotion to draw T/L’s and even project Time & Price projections using emotion. Emotion is to be harnessed by strict rules and reading PA – then you can ride the waves easily.

I’m taking 10-14 days off to a white beach island resort so I’m getting things I need today. Will pop in and out of the room. Remember, catch the trend on the 1 hr and make a killing. Today was a gift!

Study diligently and enjoy!

Hourly signals revisit

Quote from yoohoo:


Just want to remind you to look at Bar & Candles on the 1 hr.

To get the best out of the 1Hr note things like tails, fluid moves, Doji, Knives, Engulfers, Piercing Lines, Boxes, K/R, Inside Bar takeouts, time, emotion (bottom T/L is EMTL), T/L's, PP's and tie in where possible with 4 Hr and Daily.

Use break of Hi/Lo daily yesterday and prior day as triggers.

Hello YH,

sorry to say when I really join this tread activly around 80 pages ago, that I do PA, but had no sense of direction, and levels etc..

PA yes, but priority should the sense of direction shown on the higher TF, but I ended up foucsing on Divengences, which as YH points out, it's not the key..

Sense of Direction, High TF channels, movement, and Levels; and implement PA as it develops (and in relation to SOD....

Played PA as a long/short game, while it is a long/short game within another long/short game (major direct, SOD)..

suddenly felt that in da 1min PA, the exact entry is not as important, as long as you as long as you can keep it low risk..


YH, looking at the charts posted last night, suddenly have a feeling in my head, what if tomorrow it open high, and goes up? a reversal PA in 1min TF might show up on around Friday's high level.. or it might just sail pass previous' high of day, and go to the channel, and I expect to see that hitting the channle tops, and show a reversal PA, but before, there will be signals from 1min TF to go continuation....

And it keeps going in my head, is it normal?


Tomorrow, will see how da index goes, and applies what I learn...

Think of a school of fish , 100's or 1000's of them that all turn at once, not one left going the wrong direction, how do they do that?

Will, I already know Monday's game plan. That was my challange to you and others. Tell me what will happen and how you will attack it. No what if's ;)
 
I'm looking at something like this for the next session......1.56 as a baseline...possible down to 1.5540 area but working back up to major trendlines at 1.56 and clear sailing up from there....maybe to 1.5765...where it hits another strong trendline. ...then back down to play in a zone between 157 and 156 (15690-15625)....and maybe closing around ....15670 on the high side and 15600 on the low side. ....
and of course....I could be totally wrong....lol....but it looks like a uptrend time.

now upon second look....I might be more conservative since there is still some down strength to the recent days.... the sideways movements are still evident....so I might say ...uptrend continues.... maybe to 157 top but probably closer to 15650 area...15675 and hanging around 15620-60 for the play zone.

willeung a piece of advice from one who was starting this way of trading practically from zero a few months ago: it takes time to incorporate everything talked about in this thread. I went back allready two times over this whole thread (when it was at around 230 pages) and looking at all the trades on the five minute charts. It takes even more time to incorporate all the time-frames, screentime is the only help here.
From my own point of view I found out you get insight, then you stay a while on the same plateau and you get new insight with another burst. To my dismay I have even found out there were times when there were minor setbacks to the previous stages, when I had even forgotten things I had allready learned, but then I had to 'regroup' and think through what I had allready learned and went back up the level rather quickly. Progress is a mix between conscious thinking of what I'm doing and sometimes finding out I'm unconsciously incorporating things I have learned along the way. I'm not there yet where I want to be but overall find a steady improvement and steady and rather consistant profibility. It seems a good idea to first have something like five charts up and seeing them move all at the same time (doing manual backtesting doesn't quite give the same effect). PA really tells the most. I have added CCI and stochastics but I have to admit I'm still at the stage where it's hard to see if they really add value for me at this moment in real-time. But I think this too is just a mather of time. Overall I found my 'feel' for the market has greatly improved (BTW Yoohoo, I got Blink and it's really a great read, thanks for that advice) and I sometimes 'see' the way the market is going to go way beforehand (even to the point where I'm making the mistake of trying to anticipate this way too early without backup of the charts of the 'present', I know this sounds strange, but it does happen). I'm really giving my self severall more months to improve myself to some better levels of trading and see this as a proces with even more levels beyond that stage (probably buying new pc and more monitors at that stage).
Discipline and hard stoplosses still remain vitally important as I found out in the beginning of trying this. Maybe just another note: I have been trying the same way of trading on the NQ it seems to work there too, but personally found it harder with less clearer signals and more noise, so maybe you might consider trading eur/usd.
Just my personal points of view of trying to trade with PA over the last few months. Good luck.
