Congrats on your success cbratton. Would you be interesting in sharing more about your approach. I know I'd be interested to learn more and I imagine some others would be as well.

Let me add to what cunparis was stating in that you should focus on learning a few patterns at first but by no means should you not finish reading the book. Brooks makes many subtle points...

It was a good presentation but certainly similar to Al's book in that it's not all that clear. The presentation focuses early morning trades (e.g. gap plays, follow thru of prior day patterns, etc)....

I appreciate all the feedback and I couldn't agree more. I haven't been trying to cherry pick my setups, rather I attribute it to a lack of confidence in my own interpretation of a setup. I might...

Importance of Signal Bars

So last week was a little rough for me, nothing too bad but was on a roll of hitting the bad trades and missing the good ones. Part of this is emotional and I know this. We all have those moments...

Mindset,

Appreciate your view on the L1/L2. I'll respectfully disagree. The reason the first one is not the L1 is because there is no up leg to qualify it as such. In other words the market has...

I'd be curious to hear more about this spreadsheet if you are willing to share, if not I completely understand. I am always intrigued by math based quant strategies for trading.

I almost hate to even call it an L2. It's really more appropriate to call it a failed High2 as the primary trend was up and you would be looking for a High2 pattern at the time. However, if you...

Hapster,

Keep in the mind the context of the trade and what the L2/H2's are trying to tell you. For an L2 you are looking for a primary downtrend and the market making two attempts to push higher...

Your set up was perfect in my opinion; a bullish ES move, pullback to EMA20 and H2. Sometimes you just can't account for those sudden high volume moves. Regardless when an H2 or L2 fails typically...

Excellent question. The trend channel line overshoot is what allows you to consider a High2 long in this situation. So on this particular chart the heavy drop stalled, pushed down a few more ticks...

Not necessarily. The bull flag or bear flag relies on the underlying trend being up or down and the flag is simply an organized retrace that is eventually broken. The spike and channel pattern can...

Personally I don't see that as a High2, the second one that is. The pullback was far too deep making it look more like a possible reversal. However in drawing the trendlines an expanding triangle...
