going to post my trades daily. Some days I just let them ride and get out at end of day and other days do several trades a day. It all depends on my time as trading is a hobby, but has enriched my other hobbies. This is also a test run to make sure, how to post correctly.

Here is how the chart ended on Friday. I believe it may go lower, but strong support at 2791. Two lines on chart. If the market would have broken on Friday the line, I would have changed to a long position. But the short held. Monday I will reevaluate for the day. The night gives reconfirming trade info for day traders.

Still trying to figure out posting and have not found the answer yet, but will try this. The green line is maker for long and red for short. This chart is against a line that is my way of telling a change might be in the air. Since this post is late it activated a short with green being p.s.

So you sell the moment it drops below red line and buy if goes above green?

yes, I would. red line is a stop order and give more room and green is a limit order in this commodity. Maybe, you can help me. I trying to figure out how to post more to this thread. I have looked and read and find not a thing and it is probably simple and I am missing it.

You are already posting... What are you having difficulty with? What are you looking for exactly?

I used the reply button to post the second chart and so its not in order. I think it should be on top

The market is not real clear today. Tradling is about risk management, period. So I did not take this trade. Put a reversal stop on the green sold the red and watch the yellow to support it. If it does reverse your position. Other wise let it ride. Post when I find the next trade but a new high or low by yellow would be considered.

2796 some consolidation or a 1-2 small formation would get me long. Where I put my stop will be dependent on that formation. Opening markets often do not do consolidations they turn on a bar for one to three times before settling down.

This diagonal red line would be where I would change directions north. The top turned on a single bar and often happens in the first hour of trading. It happens 1-3 times on opening. Quick way to make a few quick short trades.

Posting every one of my day trades. Well, some are so fast they will be after the fact. I will try to explain later why and eventually it will come together.
