Market Replay again.

Just missed my move on the CL by a few ticks but so goes the limited trade #'s. I did 5 trades I believe and here is the video below. I was a bit too excited and still working on my morning schedule again. I honestly do not like doing market replay at all.

Ok, I took a trade which may not have been at a pivot, but it definitely looked weak. I also saw the other two sharp pivots down but decided that I was pretty happy with my trading and then I took another trade which ended up being ok.

Trading the CL is just plain scary to me at this point. I still feel on 'edge' while trading it and TF is like an old friend.

I guess when combining the two averages, then -.8 points for the day, but I am trading a different # of contracts for each, so it was a profitable day. I need to get my butt up at 3am so I can start trading the market but days have been long.

I don't like market replay as a substitute for a live market. It's virtually identical, but because you know it's not real, it just isn't the same. You know that you can pause it, fast forward it, and you have a control in replay that simply doesn't exist in the live market. I do however like to use it when I want to practice actually entering a trade which I already know the outcome, simply for the mechanics of it.

You are spot on. Psychologically I know it is not even close to real.

@bluemele, do you use MCADBB only on time frames other than 144 tick chart or you have price bars on other monitors?

You can trade HSI using Interactive Brokers.

Ok, wow, ranging on the CL got me in a jam. Looking for a 3 point run and I would have had it but I got chopped up with my small stop. Had I had more trades I would have taken it for a nice 3.5 points!

Here is my trades.

I continue to not take Horsts advice as none of these entries were really in a sweet spot. I think when I finally accept that I get only 3 trades no matter what and that I will continue to lose unless I wait for the proper entries will I actually be profitable.

Ok, the indi's were telling me that they were conflicted. I know better than to trade this or to at least take my small victories. I am starting to really understand the 'motion' of how the different conditions are looking on the MACDBB's. If it is a ranging market you will see lots of separation at each turn and sticking with the longer term trend is probably safer so wait for that.

Some trades were clear, but I was already done for the day at 3 trades!
