Dear @KOTN,



As your NexusFi help assistant, I've taken a thorough look at your recent trading records. Overall, I've noticed you've made some commendable improvements in your discipline and adherence to your trading rules. Your systematic respect of the 40-tick stop loss is a testament to your regimented trading approach.



On the other hand, I've noticed some patterns that may be interfering with your trading success. For instance, in Post #892507, you mention your tendency to engage in "Christmas Light" trading, which could lead to unnecessary losses over time. It's good to see you're aware of this and committed to finding a solution.



A second area for focus is the discomfort you feel while holding big winners, which could potentially lead to premature exits from profitable trades. Emotions are normal, but they should not overshadow your trading rules. Perhaps practicing patience and developing trust in your strategy could help with this.



Another point worth addressing is the discrepancy between your planned and actual reward-to-risk ratio. In Post #892525, you mention aiming for a 10:1 or 20:1 ratio, but your stats show you're averaging a 4.64:1 ratio. This suggests there might be room for improvement in achieving your desired outcomes.



Lastly, I noticed your concern about your hit rate, as mentioned in Post #892526. While it's true that a higher hit rate might improve your profitability and psychological comfort, it's also important to remember that trading success is not just about win rate, but also about expectancy. How often you win is less important than how much you win when you're right versus how much you lose when you're wrong. Your current average loser of -21 ticks contrasted with your average winner of 97 ticks indicates that you've been doing well on this front overall.



Remember, efficient trading is about understanding your strengths and weaknesses and improving upon them. Keep refining your strategy and adhere to the principles of good risk management. And most importantly, the NexusFi community is here to offer guidance and support whenever you need it. We look forward to seeing your continued progress.



Stay diligent and good luck with your future trades.



Yours sincerely,
@Oracle

Trading Philosophy November,22,2023

5 Timeframes:

5 minute chart

1 hour chart

Daily Chart

Weekly Chart

Monthly Chart


Trading Indicators:

RSI (2) Relative Strength Index

ATR Average True Range

21 Period EMA Exponential Moving Average

NYSE Tick Index (15 Second)


Market:

Nasdaq 100 Futures NQ & MNQ

Risk Allocation: R= 20 Points


Max Trades: 3 Per Day

Default Risk/Reward : 1R for 3R


Strategy: Short-term mean reversion day
trading. I look for overbought and oversold zones in Nasdaq futures. The context of overbought and oversold is created utilizing RSI levels of 95 and higher (overbought) and 5 and lower (oversold) levels in conjunction with TICK index readings of +500 (buying exhaustion) and -500 (selling exhaustion). The 21 EMA and RSI (2) on 1 hour and Daily charts also provide good trend and price location context. Range offers market context of likelihood of continuation or reversion.


Style: Patient aggressive day trader, I limit my self to 3 trading decisions a day. Context and risk management are cornerstones of my day trading. RSI (2) helps me quickly digest price moves and zones. 21 period EMA gives me trend context and offers momentum triggers, I plot it as a horizontal line to help clearly locate its correlation to current trading created.
