Abe, notice how when price came into R2, the bodies of the candles got teeny?? This is what I was talking about. You could've gotten short around 13180 and then exited at 100. Much better than a 20 point gain just following those simple steps I outlined yesterday. Did you do anymore testing on that theory of mine?

Thanks Tin. I was away from my trading screen at the time so I missed that. Then I saw that it looked like it was heading down, so I figured it would go to the pivot and I could get a quick scalp out of it.

 

I haven't done any back testing on that theory but I'm keeping an eye on it in real time.

Abe have you considered adopting a strategy, trading it, then comparing it to others as you go along?

 

It may give you a better idea of what/how you like to trade and give you clarity as it relates to what works and what doesn't.

 

:)

Paul, I feel I have a strategy. It is to keep trading and learn from trial and error. Over time I expect that I will learn what works and what doesn't. It sounds crude and unacademic but it is simple and gives me peace of mind. One might say it is a qualitative approach.

Hey if it gives you peace of mind then I can't argue with that! :);)

What did you learn from today's and this weeks trading if you're "plan" is just to do trial and error to find out what works and what doesnt?

 

I'm learning patience, discipline, and money management.

Good, but one thing you should also be trying to learn is your entry and exit techniques. I haven't really seen improvement in that arena yet. Maybe something as simple as even watching for higher highs and higher lows and entering on the 1st higher low to go long would be a start. There hasn't been anything vocalized yet on your entry methodology. I'd love to help more, but haven't seen anything on your part to show that you're wanting to learn about those sorts of things.

    • 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. Remember, sometimes what you throw in the garbage is something that someone wishes ever to have.” – ElZee, Quora   Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
