Lose 1 - NOT FOLLOWING THE RABBIT

after 3 wins, here is the loser...
am just human,, I thought i can second guest it ,, but my rule is correct..will follow to the fur

Live 1 Win,, early exit..repeat yesterdays mistake..adjusted the chart time frame to 1 minute

Live 1 win, mkt range, took profit too early near VWAP, but no regret

Live 1 Short, Win, follow the rabbit, enter stop short at DOM, at pullback

Friday usually range, so thats it folks..just build my mental huha

65% and I thought i Passed Win Lose ratio SIM test

my SIm xperiment is over and i feel that I could trade live NQ after this.
4 years trading CL on off was differentt compared with NQ
Yeah I have another 7 rounds of SIM ..but I bored to do SIM...I prefer live trading
My win/lose ratio is 65% with the current set up.
In prevous posting my pass mark is 60%. Thats the 1st key

2nd key to win this crazy trading game is to consistently apply the trading rules .
And I managed to follow the rules via some indicators with price actions.
Price actions alone is difficult for me..becoz intrepretation of situations differs...
So how to trade if the intrepretations/situations keep changing/confusing my judgment ??
So in my trading mind ---
""The indicators are the the rules and price actions is the trigger""

The 3rd key is the bottom line -the cold DOLLARs  you may asked..
Well I dunno how to answer that becoz that is the market's job...

I hope I can get the financial freedom through 2 keys and let the 3rd keys hold by the crazy mkt

How you gonna walk ahead
If you keep living blind?

I'm waiting, waiting outside the lines
Waiting outside the lines
Waiting outside the lines

You'll never enjoy your life

You're so afraid of taking chances,
How you gonna reach the top?

Indys

After done several live trades, NQ behaviour is different than CL, of course...
I have to put again 2 indicators on my NQ chart -- DMI and stochastic.
There are no sins using indicators I supposed...
Simply becoz I want to trade like a robot, and no emotion, judgement, whatever (laugh, pls)

However, these indys also not accurate, becoz actually the trading is in price.
So I will put a line in chart price...
My objective  is to trade REPEATABLE PATTERNs when
DMI=SMI=PRICELINE (so 3 filters are in)

Once repeatable patterns achieve 60/40 right/wrong  % ratio, and ROR is 2x return/1x risk..
I will trade live again...

nq trading (LIve TRade)

Will update at the same post (1 week in 1 post)

-to use  market order when pattern assumption is correct

-use mkt order but gone wrong as it touch horizontal sr (to observe that potential horizontal is far away, has space)

-next -- to say a prayer Tawakkalillallah before trading.

I need to change venue of my trading PC

Current location is not conducive to trade, I think..feel isolated from family..

As my son growing older, I think i can trade NQ in front of them all...

I dont want to grow old alone while trading in the room..

I'm back

1 month Off - Fasting month

Keyword: TRIANGLE

IN AND OUT

2 trades SIM = 2 win

In sim ..Previous  trade also in SIM.

3 trades - 3 wins

Got a potential grip

After about 45 days simming and observing NQ, it seems I can got a grip on it.
NQ have one trait that consistent, dominant behaviour and I start from that dominant behaviour.
THis will make it easier   more potential to trade than CL.
Next month comes the holy fasting month for MUslims - the Ramadhan

1 trade = lose

The difference in trading live and sim is this..
when lose in sim , i will continue the same techn to get the stats
when lose in real live trade, i will change the technique...
now i got one idea to be tested in sim

1 trade - 1 win

Yes!

2 trades - 1 win , 1 lose

Aladdin lamp ?

After I convinced my brain that actually I'm gambling, something weird happened
The gambling mind made me think that actually i bet on chance..
And chance is uncertainty...

and remember that famous post from Ziyad to Michael ?

http://www.eminiplayer.com/2009/06/learning-to-become-successful-trader.html

Well, good luck to me.

I had to admit that I'm gambling strategically

After near 6 years of trading I have to loose it a bit.
As the loses and profits sporadically recorded, I have to admit that I'm gambling - based strictly on results.
If based on my planning - this is not gambling, this is trading.

See the conflict ?

So let me make peace with my own brain.
This is planned gambling.
So, moving forward (ha ha ha , rhetoric !),, we'll see If I will get profit

-42 usd

DONT: Entered too late after a signal, it rebounded then followed the original direction
DONT: Entered at SR Lines - If it not break. it will rebound

Correct analysis NQ

Shorted but use joint limit order that not filled up.
Correct direction.
Next time for quick setup like this I will use market order (MO)
For second setup that the slower type I will use  Joint Bid order (BO) 

Turn on Live Mode on NQ

Adjusting mind to a possible live trade NQ
Tweaking charts to suits live trade environment.
And now, wait for live entries
