I've been practicing slowing the replays down to 1X. Getting my mind right for the waiting
game. Thank God for bar timer alarms.
The standard entrys. Nothing new.
I have made a target rule for tight channels, however. Targets = 1/2 the width of the channel. Then
when price breaks, I move to my standard 15. Once price breaks, I'm always looking for nice easy
larger targets if they are no brainers. So, at least 15, but always looking for more.

Believe me, PW... I think the same thing every time I post. I actually over traded one day to log up a losing
day and I just made more. I find it uncomfortable.... like the game is set on "beginner" and when I go live, the
trading gods will switch it to "master" and take all my money.

I opened up my charts to the 29th of June to see PA I have never seen before.
I had to magnify in on my 5 min chart because I couldn't see any detail of my entry. 3 huge
5min bars happened at 10pm the 28th.. I've never seen this before.
Then I remembered, this was the huge rally day in the markets.
I was tempted to cheat by getting in at the first PB to the ema 20 and just letting it run all day, but
what good would that do.
I took two of the most classic PB to MA entries I have ever seen in TF and called it a day,
just as I would have done normally. I wasn't letting them run because I was trading into major
weekly resistance. I can't believe I made that much just on a couple trades to retest the high.
Some people probably made their year that day.
a 50 tick day is a great day for me as a lowly account builder.

This is really outstanding work here, and I admire the systematic way you are building your trading regime.
I too am a Brooks disciple, so I do recognise the setups you are concentrating on. Particularily the PB from off double tops and double bottoms. I still concentrate on these for my entries on the 5 minute, and it is a very good pattern that I take when I am looking reversal. I have adjusted it a bit over last few months, but for a long while, it was 1 of 2 patterns that I took almost every time. The other was the spike down on an exhaustion bar, which on a shorter time frame, is really a double bottom ( or top) on a shorter time frame, particularily how it paints.
Seems that this, in conjunction with your discipline to your rules has really helped your trading. Your posts exude confidence.
The only thing that makes me cringe...the 2:30 am wakeup call.
