Nothing like a real thing after 2 months vacation.

I trade like a noob...

I short before candle properly close and clicked 2 instead of 1.

Good thing I  flat out immediately without hesitation.

So next time...

1) Wait till candle close

1) Take out the finger after clicking it.

Float like a Butterfly, Sting like a Bee

Butterfly ....

Roller coaster Lesson

Simplest setup will win in this roller coaster ride...
Learned it, make it better...
My 3 setups have 3 criteria each that not fulfilled, so I didnt enter the ring tonight.
The simplest setup will have only 2 criteria - like my 2 hands.
Wait and c

missed short entry by 1 tick

so no trade ..choppy session

after : the green mother candle is a signal to long direction - together with double bottom and large triangle (SHOE) that indicated a potential of BIG move afterwards. The move is Choppy but big one.

may need to refer back to daily chart...refer to mother candle & IB

LIve -- warming up

Live --warming up..no intention to trade as EIA report will come soon today

this..is probably the best advice to improve trading...

use a screen recorder to record, review your trading behaviour...
you can record video & AUdIO...
its better than a blog...
coz it is like a real thing...and more lively, interesting..
it will never lie.
the cheapest one is faststone screen recorder.
icecream screen recorder,
whatever.
I use fastone screen recorder-- yesterday...I loike it

Will not be a ZomBie !

3 kind of breaks in trading that nobody teach you at Harvard Business School

1) Unbreakable e.g. double bottom - big range (fact) - vol, min
2) True Breakout  from range -small range (fact) -min
3) Fake Breaks at extreme then reverse - 123 stars (fact) - vol
*) WMA Color support - entry at touch - dir follow color
+
4) POHLC (fact) - vol, min
5) MA (position of price, and position of MA to previous MA)
5) Mother candle (theory)
6) First 5 minutes (theory)

simple double bottom setup - rare but powerful

Two setup + a confirmation

The two setups still ongoing testing till the end of August..
Also testing mother candle theory of direction...I knew it before this, but experience show it needs serious consideration.

testing again

in SIM.
coz August is a good time to test a setup - low volume
so far so good...

this time a  diiferent setup
