The market will be there tomorrow. Was this one of your better days on CL? That 10:30 move was ridiculous. On the way up and down had some nice opportunities.

Yes it was ..on CL. Made 90 ticks. That's very good for me. On Monday and Tuesday, I broke even.
Made about 80 ticks on SIM TF trades and they were all after 2 pm.

It just shows that on a strong day, you have to take more chances and keep trading. I used to get to 30 or 40 ticks and call it a day. The problem is..then you can have a 40 tick losing day and end up back to nothing. So, on a day like today, it's "Pedal to the Metal!"

Yes...I have several volume charts of various timeframes..Sometimes I go as low as a 2 second chart...if big orders are coming in on a 2 second timeframe plus my tick strike indicator is showing fast volume accumulation, I have the confirmation to help decide on an entry.

My last video shows how I use Tick Strike in my trades.

I hope that some my posts showing results aren't interpreted as me "Showing off." I have been struggling with trying to be consistent with my trading for many years as this thread can attest to.

If anything, I hope these posts show that there has been improvement that has come after many years of failing and not having any real consistency.

I will probably not post anymore results or videos of me trading for a while. My goal now is to incorporate TF live along with my CL trading. Once I start doing that successfully, I will probably show what kind of results I get trading both instruments.

On the contrary. Your posts are an inspiration to those of us who are struggling that this thing can be done. In addition, I find your recent posts of charts of your trade locations very helpful to compare to what I am seeing. I hope you continue to post, though I know it can be a hassle.

Congratulations on your hard earned success!

I too hope you continue posting. Being a complete novice myself, I find comfort in knowing this can be done. I've read this whole thread in a couple days, inspiring stuff and I am now completely hooked, and this thread is a big reason why I feel I now have to master this.
