Sun, what trading platform/charts are you using? I used to like the range bars as well, but AMP doesn't offer them, so I stick to the tick bars with candles. I like the LG channels as well. Basically a scientific TL based on recent and past PA. Good stuff!
 
I'm still watching the charts, but it looks like the Friday afternoon chops might be setting in. I think I'm calling it a day.

This was a good week for me. Zero losing days the entire week, and only 3 losing trades total for the week. I just looked through my trade statistics for the week and the interesting part is my trades are way down too. Usually I would have 25 to 40 trades for the week, but I traded only 3 or 4 times per day this week on average, so I'm getting more selective and not over trading now. I'm making progress, although I know I can do better. Hope everyone had a good week and has a better weekend.

God bless and Good trades to all!

I was always told that the only difference between a good carpenter and bad carpenter was a good painter with lots of caulk! :)

Nope, I agree, find what works for you and learn it backwards and forwards. For me that's PA, S/R, and TLs with an occasional LR channel. I use volume as well, but no indicators for me otherwise.

JFW, by momentum, I am basically talking about strength. The fact that prices broke through the resistance area a second time today, along with the fact that the third bar that we use for the 3 bar entry was very long and prices actually closed at the top of the bar (no wick at all). Also notice that the three bars that started the up trend all had HLs and wicks on the bottom.

This brings up another thought for Max who is looking for entry techniques. Another good one to look for is three higher lows, then when prices on the 4th bar break the high of the 3rd bar with the 3rd higher low, enter the trade. You would reverse for taking shorts. You can try placing your order 50% back on bar 3 as with the 3 bar entry, but the rules I learned on it were to just go long or short on the break.

Only use this trading technique on pull backs trading with the trend though. I use it as confirmation of my 3 bar entry a lot. When I see both set ups working together, I feel more confident in the trade. Most trends start off of a break out of 3 higher lows.

Taking the break out of bar 3 would cure some of the missed trades from the 3 bar entry, but you wouldn't get as good an entry I guess. Something more to ponder.

TraderTX,

First thing's first, don't ever let your last trade "ruin" your next trades. Expect small but controlled losses along the way until the big ones hit. You gotta shake it off, refocus your eyes and your mind and begin seeking out confirmed or broken S/R. I traded only once today. However, I sometimes get stopped for smaller controlled ticks before price actually moves in my favor. All in all, being BE to up is always good.
Don't beat yourself up. Being down 1 tick is a good trade in my book. (Please read back a few pages to one of my "Oh, I got it" moments while I was relearning how to trade (but based upon PA and S/R).
:)
There's always a lesson in it; whether good or bad. Continue to share and others will as well.

Take care,
Tex
