Yoohoo,
Yea I agree with what you said and also all the time look for new information which try to "borrow" and apply to my trading... It's strange but such a simple idea as living and LEARNING seems to become rare these days...
And of course I'll be very happy to learn just ATM's which would be able to keep me in all big swings (my goal currently) and really appreciate your invaluable help!
BTW, I'm happy I added CCI, it makes a lot of additional $$ and in many cases calls tops/bottoms of those big swings, I just need to learn to hold them...
CF your entries are world class. Think about what you wrote - meditate on it. CCI helps get you in - I knew your CCI on the 1 hr was a screamer at the top - at least let it get to the "0" line. That's why i quizzed you about your bullish bar which was a spinning top.
Take half off until you can be all-in. But I'd also encourage you to trade the 1 min swings when the move shows structure but watch out for it getting messy - then just sit in it.
If you can exit like you enter you will have a stronger reason to hold the trade and you'll find you begin to be closer to always in trading.
With such good entries you are close, so close.
The 4 hr often has an A-B-C move. If you remember my comments on the last big move. I said the move down would not be like that because the cycles on the 1 and 4 hr would interfere with each other. If you can learn to use your CCI to see when the 4 & 1 are perfectly lines up and when they are not you will know what kind of move you will get. Huge ATM or smaller ranges and several legs.
