Hey Abe you bought below the pivot because mine is at 13296, seems like you bought the breakdown.

 

Check out http://www.tradesignals.com/pivots/, the site updates the daily pivots for major markets.

 

Good luck trading, hope this helps.

 

Thanks Nvesta81. Sorry I didn't see your post earlier. The pivots from tradesignals.com is different from the Sierra Chart pivots on my screen. Not sure why that is.

Just a note for one of your trades. Often, you're getting in late on a move. See the notes I've made. Volume is your best friend, more so than price is to me. Price is...ok... ;) but volume is going to be my best man if I ever get married. HAHA

Thanks Tin, but I don't see any notes.

Thanks Tin. The declining volume on the price decrease shows that it is a weakening decrease. And then the doji following that has significantly higher volume signaling a change in momentum. The next candle is a red candle though but the volume is comparable to the low red candle volumes before the doji. Then we get a green candle with twice as high volume as he previous red candle, signaling that there is a going to be a move to the upside. You're right. That would have been an excellent entry. I read about this type of volume analysis but haven't used them in my trading. Looks like I need to pay more attention to it. Thanks.

Abe,

Many traders utilize volume in their trading and I would recommend you watch it more closely. Tin gave you a great example. That's part of the reason why I love VBC's since that volume is already represented in the candle itself - in terms of size AND how quickly/long the candle takes to print.

Thanks Brownsfan. I will definitely be paying more attention to the volume.

Just a thought from li'l ol me...

 

Good question Tin. I went long because of the two bullish hammers. But clearly I was wrong. Seems like I'm going against the market when I should be going with the trend.

A basic oscillator or moving average might help you keep in sync with the trend of the market if you can't see it clearly.

Also, using a higher time frame as an anchor chart for a point of reference can help as well. Since you seem to be trading off of a 1 min chart, you might want to use a 5, 10 or 15 min chart as an anchor.

 

Better yet, since you are apparently using candlestick pattern recognition to trade, why not use the higher timeframe for your trades? I'm not aware of many successful candlestick traders who use only a 1 min chart....

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful.
