onejester replied Feb 16, 202020/30 sec will work when you know what you are doing. No doubt whatsoever. Just practice, grind, and keep your shit together emotionally. Personally, it is the emotional side I need to work on. Better spending time on that and posting trades than ...

onejester replied Feb 14, 2020Only traded a couple of days this week, missus broke her foot and is wheelchair bound. So I am carer and driver, trying to run her business and my own. Much stress! Taking it slow, only + 34 for the week, 3 (123) trades on a 20 second chart.

onejester replied Jan 31, 2020Well done. Had another crap day today - 23. When the ATR is this high, again same stop issue. Because of my loss the other day, I went back to + 1 after 5, as you can see it took me out on plus one on the first trade. And that first trade is ...

onejester replied Jan 29, 2020Precisely, and we all trade our personalities and have our own stop limits. All you need is an edge and some discipline. From my own observations, I really believe you shouldn't trade every day. I see that rare breed Hilmy 83 is back on elite ...

onejester replied Jan 28, 2020-32 Today, just can't afford the stops. And I shoulda capped it off around 20. But that's the way it goes. The temptation to revenge trade is strong, but the market clearly isn't playing my tune today so better to live for another day. image

onejester replied Jan 24, 2020Yep, been doing that with the exception of yesterday where I forgot to take sierra out of sim. It was a long time coming for me trading for real, but I really didn't want to lose money. And I'd tested the b'jesus out of the NQ
So today +15 with 3 ...Plan the Trade

onejester replied Jan 23, 2020+13 2 trades, until I noticed I was in sim. Doh! Nice quick short trade soon after the open that I missed. Now too much structure so I'm closing down. image

onejester replied Jan 15, 2020Best of luck mate. It is hard to keep posting, most people just give up because it is a challenge to be consistent. And I think that there isn't really anything else to say about the strategy, it is just framing price so that you recognise the ...

onejester replied Jan 15, 2020+14, 3 trades. I'm toying with removing the +1 @5, cost me dear on the 1st trade. No trades yesterday. image

onejester replied Jan 13, 2020Not much going on for me the past few days in my plight to make more with fewer trades. Seems like being cautious means you don't make any money, still I'd rather have it that way than be a loser. So now I seemed to have stopped myself trading all ...

onejester replied Jan 2, 2020I think there is a trade off between stop size and letting them 'breathe'. I'm trying to go with fewer entries, but I'd been sitting on my hands throughout and missed a great entry earlier. Depending on the day you would need big stops to trail and ...

onejester replied Dec 23, 2019Slim pickings + 9, but live and just 1 trade. Importantly, managed enough discipline to avoid getting ranged out (long may the discipline continue!). Don't suppose there will be much going on tomorrow so have a good one guys. image

onejester replied Dec 20, 2019Not having much luck with + 1's, tried on 20 & 30 sec. Market just takes me out, which is really frustrating. I'm trying to trade less and make more, which is why I'm quiet. I have by no means given up
