@Rickshaw Man shows this often, albeit on a daily chart though, but same principle.

Exactly right.... but what kind of a guy is willing to take this risk when she is probably bitching about stuff that you think needs to be fixed by you being more attentive?
Its something you can't really discover through trial and error because a lifetime is not enough experience. Even if someone tells you plainly, you will still resist. Most men are red pilled after some sort of trauma over a woman, and only then can you start to accept that maybe you had it all wrong.
I feel like I have enough trauma from the markets... are you ready to spill it??

Ignore them when they're being annoying too, just don't be mean. Women can be way more mean than men. Way, way more mean.
You can get out in front of the annoyingness by setting aside some random time (that she doesn't know about) to give her any attention. Jokes, slap her ass, sniff her armpit, whatever. She will feel "ah, he has paid attention to me today, I can keep going". They need this because they need to know when she has your kids you will be there. As you say, this is only something you learn through trial and error.
Nothing to spill, everything you need to know you've already said in your own posts.
Absolutely right. So much of looks like flawed decision making actually served a purpose in our ancestral past. Its also why women love men who are capable of violence. They don't want to be the recipient of said violence of course, but having a man who isn't afraid to kill if the need arises is a huge evolutionary advantage. As the world goes to shit and chaos ensues, I think this "independent woman" bullshit will fall to the wayside.
So why say that I'm so close yet so far?
That is just plain old vanilla standard volume.
He is also a TradeStation user, wonder why he doesn't (maybe he does but hasn't posted any screenshots of it) use the avg vol comparison indicator?
Because you don't realize you've already said everything to figure out why.
But anyway, I got lucky with it being 3815, it could have just as easily been wrong. So stop overthinking it.
And have you done an analysis on if this helps with entry criteria? (ie. does it help to get you into trades that work or stay out of trades that dont?)
As an example, I remember when I discovered cumulative delta. On a first pass, I thought it was a magic indicator. If you can see all the aggressive buyers hitting the ASK, surely this means price is going up! But alas, it only works about 50% of the time. You can easily have price rising as sellers aggressively hit the bid. Sure you can also look for divergences and all that jazz, but in the end, it was at best a 50/50 proposition. Sometimes it helps you get into a trade, other times you miss a trade because the delta isn't showing right and ends up just being a distraction.

But then how is your win rate so high? That's what I don't understand. My entries are shitty, and never exactly where I want them, so I can't really use my trading as a good example of doing things right. And worst of all, I never hold for a good enough profit, but will hold for larger losses, hoping the trade turns around. You don't have to be a math wiz to figure out that bigger losses and smaller profits isn't profitable in the long run. But I still don't think I could get 70% winners even if I waited for ideal entry areas.
How do you select support and resistance? I personally just like to use swing highs and lows that stand out (in addition to the standard overnight levels and previous day levels). Diagonal trend lines can work too, but these are so subjective depending on which swings points you use to draw them from. Other traders use high and low volume nodes, which can be good too, but its now getting all quite complicated. So what do you use to identify your support and resistance levels where you will look for a trade?
(oh, and you never did say why you entered at D but not at the earlier points it hit 3815 like A and B)
It's your job to figure out.
