That is the magical road to unprofitability.

1. Last week was a vacation week. Ignore it.

2. Besides that, you have been doing GREAT!!!!

My advice is to stick with what you are doing! Don't let a vacation week screw with you.

Thanks!

That's what I thought, I have to stick with one thing and try to get good with it. I spent about 10 hours every day testing other things and my head is about to explode. All indicators work if you know how to use it, but you need some time to make it work for you. So no matter what you are using you can make it work.

The only thing I wanna keep for now on my 144 is OBV for extra conformation, but it can cause some confusion also.

I think the most important is to get better with MACDs and try to see patterns.

Tomorrow I will get back to NFT setup!!!

The key is consistency and experience in my opinion. You can have a bad week, a bad month or even a bad year and still be a good trader. Of course, the key is to limit them to bad 'days'.

I would take the OBV off and just focus on taking or looking at less that what we already have. Price action in my opinion is the best way to go when considering adding an 'indicator'.

You are good at following the guidelines. Something I was good at before until I decided that I didn't like to be 'wrong'.

Just your sim trades the last few weeks leaves you more profitable than 99% of traders I would bet...

Another tough day!!! Ha Ha....

It didn't wanna move for the first 50 minutes. I took 4 trades and still -3 ticks. I thought to wait for the price to break out of the channel when I opened my charts, then I got in anyway. I wish I would stay out and didn't take first two trades.

The last trade was really nice and it did hit my profit target and even moved higher. I got out too early with 5 ticks. I saw pretty clear bull flag at 377, but just the way market was moving before I wasn't sure if it's gonna move any higher.

Here is the video:



I did take OBV off.

I totally agree that price action is the most important in trading. I just wanted to make it more simple. I tried another method of trading fibs without any other indicators. After few days of testing it worked very well. I think it was 1. +550 2. -100 3.+800 4.-60. But then one day testing it at replay I got -500 after first 3 trades because stops are bigger and I think that's not the one I wanna use. The strategy is trend following and works great in the trend, but using in the conditions like this early morning would chop you in a peaces.

Nice music!!

I can't believe you were going long! Nice! Just missed the pivot that would have kept you in. I couldn't find a good pivot w/ a small stop, so I didn't go long. What a run up we are having without retraces.

Tough day for us all I think unless you had big stops.

Something is up w/ the market. Conditions have changed... I feel something coming.

Had 12 trades today. Way too many!!!

I've made 3.1 at the end and I got out because I was very tired by that time.

I traded on Friday,but I didn't record it. I had 23 trades because I couldn't control my emotions and got very angry at one point and that leaded to clicking and losses. I'll make quick recap today.

Here is today's video:

Good job! I took 14 trades I think! I guess one of those days....

Way to hold it. I have to start getting up earlier as I am running out of time. Makes me exit too soon on that nice long I caught.

This a market recap for July 8. I had 23 trades and got down -8.5 points and got 6 points back from the last trades.

Anger is my enemy and it's very hard to fight back. I didn't watch my last trade all the time. I just left my charts open. I've been reading a book and look at the charts once in a while.

This is a video that shows you what you should NOT do:

Yes, technically you look back and wonder what you are doing. Emotions are the enemy.

Keep it chuggin, you did good today!

Here is another day like Friday!

I took 17 trades today. Way too many again.

I just cannot control myself in sideways market. I couldn't see sideways before and I thought that if I can see it at early stage I could void some losing trades.
Oh well. Now I can see it but I still take trades one after another one.

Another thing, was poor management. Even with those two winning trades I could stay in green if I managed them better.

I hope I will learn how to control myself sooner or later. Better sooner.

Don't feel like trading today. This is the first time.

I just want to concentrate on the charts instead of clicking.
