Would you also feel comfortable to show
your right hand side of your trading screen,
as we watch and listen along?

Thx for sharing.

It will look distorted due to the ultra wide screen 21:9 aspect ratio. Now, I actually have a left and a right side Ultra Wide monitor along with the new 16:9 in the middle. Please ignore the mess, it's still under construction.

New Monitor...... check
XLR cable..... check
Sound........ check

Ok, we get sound for tomorrow's trading. Hope the market is kind. LOL!

Bare with me as I get used to doing this. It's a bit odd talking into a microphone with no one else around. Be prepared for corny humor and all around weirdness. Don't say I didn't warn you.

I will try to cover as much of my trading style as I can in this first video. I do plan on doing a very detailed video some time in the future but that will take some time to put together.

Video is rendering now. Should be done in about 20 minutes. Then I will upload it. YouTube takes a while to process it so give it some time and I will post the link when it is ready.

The day started rough when I took a full stop out of 55 ticks due to impatience. I entered the trade too soon after the markets opened instead of waiting for it to settle down some. Good news is that I didn't panic, I just waited for another opportunity and jumped on it for 87 ticks positive. Finished the day up $152.68 which puts the challenge balance at 1,493.04. That is a 49% gain since we started Monday. I am good with it. Especially when you consider the first trade was negative by $275.

Re-watching the video over and over while I edited it helped me to see something I was missing but will implement tomorrow. This should help improve the results even more.

I started getting tired so I just stopped looking for any more trades. I was actually excited to try doing a voice recording and had a hard time going to sleep last night. I bet I don't have that problem tonight.

It was weird talking into the microphone at first but I started getting a bit more comfortable as the day went on. Nobody likes the sound of their own voice, me included.

This video includes some of the basics of what I look for in a trade. I will include more as the week goes on. This video looks better than the first. It's a learning process. I still plan on doing a detailed and better organized video on how I trade at a later date.

First one is up but doesn't have sound....

Pls post linkage to your site, thx?

Click where it says, SHARE....

The Word SHARE appears below
the screen, on the lower right hand corner, K?

Have fun and profitable trading.

I would lend lots of credence to your post
and your video;

if you would always include the CHART TRADER,
appearing on the right hand side of
your trading screen;

where it would show what a great call you make
each time....

alright....? Thx much for sharing.

TradingOgre:

When you have your video posted on yourtube,
remember to post a linkage for us to watch and
learn your trading screens and style, K?

This is what I meant by showing your right hand
screen where CHART TRADER appears, to track
your live trade as it moves along, from initiating
your position to liquidating, K?

It will always be up, just the account number is covered. You can also follow on the chart without the chart trader showing. It shows lot size and profit/loss.

Whenever I am not in a trade it will show the gross profit/loss for the day.

See previous post for link to today's video.

Later

Great audio and video.

Thx for sharing it.

Have a quick quest for you:

1--What prompted you to initiate the buy position,
per attachment?

2--your stoploss is 50 tic in NQ, which
is about 250 dollars, is that correct?

3--under what circumstances, would you
initiate a sell position, according to your setup?

I did not have time to enjoy all the way through
the video, but it is a great beginning.

you seem to have enormous background in this.

wish you the best, going ahead.

1. 60 ema was above 200 ema. One candle in the direction of the trend followed by one against. Entry at top of candles.
2. 55 right now when trading the 1000 tick chart.
3. Same as 1 just reversed. There are several entry methods it will just take time to cover them all in the video's.

Nice videos. When you switch chart it is not easy to see which timeframe is used as it appears faded somewhat. If you could make it more visible then it would help. Thanks
