Redshak, I agree with your perspective about trading alone.
After marriage things changed for me, but doing it alone
is a hard course. There are so many things to deal with
in trading, and a SUPPORT base can be a wonderful
asset.
I suspect this may be why smart money, which has
a large support base of counselors and trading coaches
tend to outshine retail traders.
Also I like your trading structure.
The only things I do different is on FOMC news is trade much earlier,
and for longer periods, as some days FOMC leads to all day trends.
I've used range and renko's, but my perspective is tick charts
which are driven by momentum tend to pick up sentiment and emotion
earlier. (but just my perspective)
I noticed you are using volume for signals. I also use volume for signals,
but only volume based charts.
I wish you well in your pursuit of a quality trading support team.
