"S&R" Scalps

Recommended Posts

Hi Walter,

 

The videos are great!! Thanks so much for taking the time to share this information. I'm really enjoying this stuff and look forward to seeing new videos. These videos are answering the questions I have about support and resistance. Thank you.

Hi Walter,

 

You mentioned about using tight stops, typically how large is your stop? Are your stops a few ticks behind the support and resistance line? How do you determine how much to risk on each trade as a scalper? Thank you.

Hi Walter,

Sorry for my Tarzan english by advance.

First, a big thank you for all your threads and all your videos very interesting.

But I have a small question, you say take 4 ticks in some places where between the upper and lower V, there are only 5 ticks.

What kind of front-end do you use to accomplish this feat ?

Would it possible to make a live video where we could understand how you take position and how you get out. I know it's difficult with the concentration, but perhaps a live simulation after you have made your daily target.

Thank you again for all your work.

Thanks Nyc, I will try to normally take a stop on -4 -5 max.. now one trick I got is that when things dont go my way I get out with 0 -1 or -2 stop... that helps a lot... the textbook stop should be below/above entry pivot, but when you develop some discernment that things are not working you may want to tight even more your stops... cheers Walter.

I use a DOM where you have a lot of features to get some exits automated once I entered manually... If I load more volume some things I do it manually... I am afraid making a video of this will not be possible as camtasia uses excesive resources... but basicly agon, you tell the DOM how many ticks profit you want from where you entered and he will do it automatically for you, if things are not getting there, I get out manually... playing with the DOM its key there... cheers Walter.

Thank's for you help, I understand playing with the DOM is the key.

I use ButtonTrader myself but I think it is very diificult to take 4 ticks where there are only 5 ticks to take.

This is the reason why a video help us, imho.

For ex : jperl (jerry) (nice guru on this nice forum) made a video with DOM, I think it is possible after your day target will made.

Give me time agon and I will try to make one... really if price was hit, you will get filled, when you see that you did not get filled and things get lazy, thats where you want to exit manually... I kind of understand what you are meaning on getting filled on so small range... sometimes happens, sometimes not... thats why I get out with +2 or +3 sometimes and still is good bussiness for me... cheers Walter.

Hey walter do you use your normal trigger for this trade? A couple of entries occur to me.

 

Limit at the line.

BO back below the line

BO of the bar that penetrated/touched the line.

 

I'd go with the first but suspect you might use the last :)

Hello fellow traders... Pipper asked me to show what chart I had been looking today for my scalping... So I will attach here the 22t principal

 

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=4459&stc=1&d=1197515271

 

 

I will have to make a confession... Its a little trick not suited for new scalpers yet and not recomended at the begining of this posible learning curve, as it could create confussion to the trader... I also do follow a 6 Tick chart for "very specific timing"...

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=4460&stc=1&d=1197515271

 

 

This things are not easy to diggest at the begining... but once really grasped they are really fun... see ya tomorrow on the chat... cheers Walter.

This is one of the S&R setups I will try to focus today... when we get to test an S&R key level expecting a bounce, BUT that bounce doesnt follow thru, we can expect a break of the level.... now instead of timing the entry after the break or in the break itself where you can get to much slipagge, I time right before the break... this can help for a tight stop management as well... good trading today ¡¡ see ya on our new chat room ¡¡

cheers Walter.

Hi Walter,

I've been reading your scalping threads with much interest. The above Tradestation code does not plot 2 lines however. I wonder if anyone else has the ADXVMA for Tradestation?

 

Thanks very much.

I only asked him for the 6 period setup. I'm sure he has the shorter timeframe and will share that also. These guys are great, you're in the right community for great info.

Here's a copy of the ADXVMA with 2 inputs, meaning you can have a sma,ema or hma added to the main plot line. However, if your trying to get a copy of Walter's chart, then leave the ma line to 1 and the additional line won't plot.

 

But you will have to insert the indicator onto your chart twice, one with an input of 2 and the other with an input of 6. ( for example )

 

Hope this helps

ps. Great thread Walter, excellent work. :cool:

Hi Walter! I hope that you are well.

 

I have some questions about the equivalence between the tick and minute charts.

 

I made a simple comparison between a tick charts and minutes charts in the EURJPY pair, and I found that there the 5 minutes chart is more less equivalent to the 22 tick chart, and the 1 minutes chart is more less equivalent to the 6 tick chart. But I suppose that it can be different depending on the volatility of the moment.

 

Do you have some equivalent similar to the one of my comparison? Why do you prefer to use tick charts insted minutes (or seconds) charts?

I use tick charts for scalping, its like tape reading on a chart, you get to see whats happening... minute charts are more for longer trades, they give a very nice longer view of whats going on, so having both its very recomendable as they have difernt functions... cheers Walter.

    • Agreed since some of the new traders usually lose money in start and some loses more while chasing their lost money and eventually ends up blaming to their brokers part.
    • The crypto market are also in phase of maturing like the forex and other trading assets so we can do much more accurate analysis than before since early days it was purely a luck if the investments in crypto bears results because most of the coins or tokens never come to fruition. Some early birds were also able to make profits on these tokens or coins. e,g., like turtle coin starts with 1 satoshi and go up to 7 sathoshis, quite good rewards. another token lmgx now hovering at 10 started from 1, 
    • How's about other crypto exchanges? Are all they banned in your country or only Binance?
    • Be careful who you blame.   I can tell you one thing for sure.   Effective traders don’t blame others when things start to go wrong.   You can hang onto your tendency to play the victim, or the martyr… but if you want to achieve in trading, you have to be prepared to take responsibility.   People assign reasons to outcomes, whether based on internal or external factors.   When traders face losses, it's common for them to blame bad luck, poor advice, or other external factors, rather than reflecting on their own personal attributes like arrogance, fear, or greed.   This is a challenging lesson to grasp in your trading journey, but one that holds immense value.   This is called attribution theory. Taking responsibility for your actions is the key to improving your trading skills. Pause and ask yourself - What role did I play in my financial decisions?   After all, you were the one who listened to that source, and decided to act on that trade based on the rumour. Attributing results solely to external circumstances is what is known as having an ‘external locus of control’.   It's a concept coined by psychologist Julian Rotter in 1954. A trader with an external locus of control might say, "I made a profit because the markets are currently favourable."   Instead, strive to develop an "internal locus of control" and take ownership of your actions.   Assume that all trading results are within your realm of responsibility and actively seek ways to improve your own behaviour.   This is the fastest route to enhancing your trading abilities. A trader with an internal locus of control might proudly state, "My equity curve is rising because I am a disciplined trader who faithfully follows my trading plan."

    • SELF IMPROVEMENT.   The whole self-help industry began when Dale Carnegie published How to Win Friends and Influence People in 1936. Then came other classics like Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins toward the end of the century.   Today, teaching people how to improve themselves is a business. A pure ruthless business where some people sell utter bullshit.   There are broke Instagrammers and YouTubers with literally no solid background teaching men how to be attractive to women, how to begin a start-up, how to become successful — most of these guys speaking nothing more than hollow motivational words and cliche stuff. They waste your time. Some of these people who present themselves as hugely successful also give talks and write books.   There are so many books on financial advice, self-improvement, love, etc and some people actually try to read them. They are a waste of time, mostly.   When you start reading a dozen books on finance you realize that they all say the same stuff.   You are not going to live forever in the learning phase. Don't procrastinate by reading bull-shit or the same good knowledge in 10 books. What we ought to do is choose wisely.   Yes. A good book can change your life, given you do what it asks you to do.   All the books I have named up to now are worthy of reading. Tim Ferriss, Simon Sinek, Robert Greene — these guys are worthy of reading. These guys teach what others don't. Their books are unique and actually, come from relevant and successful people.   When Richard Branson writes a book about entrepreneurship, go read it. Every line in that book is said by one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time.   When a Chinese millionaire( he claims to be) Youtuber who releases a video titled “Why reading books keeps you broke” and a year later another one “My recommendation of books for grand success” you should be wise to tell him to jump from Victoria Falls.   These self-improvement gurus sell you delusions.   They say they have those little tricks that only they know that if you use, everything in your life will be perfect. Those little tricks. We are just “making of a to-do-list before sleeping” away from becoming the next Bill Gates.   There are no little tricks.   There is no success-mantra.   Self-improvement is a trap for 99% of the people. You can't do that unless you are very, very strong.   If you are looking for easy ways, you will only keep wasting your time forgetting that your time on this planet is limited, as alive humans that is.   Also, I feel that people who claim to read like a book a day or promote it are idiots. You retain nothing. When you do read a good book, you read slow, sometimes a whole paragraph, again and again, dwelling on it, trying to internalize its knowledge. You try to understand. You think. It takes time.   It's better to read a good book 10 times than 1000 stupid ones.   So be choosy. Read from the guys who actually know something, not some wannabe ‘influencers’.   Edit: Think And Grow Rich was written as a result of a project assigned to Napoleon Hill by Andrew Carnegie(the 2nd richest man in recent history). He was asked to study the most successful people on the planet and document which characteristics made them great. He did extensive work in studying hundreds of the most successful people of that time. The result was that little book.   Nowadays some people just study Instagram algorithms and think of themselves as a Dale Carnegie or Anthony Robbins.
