image This was a high provability setup in hindsight as far as I see. Breakout from a narrowing pennant pattern. I was eating dinner and missed it. Also, I wasn't really motivated to trade further as I already made a decent profit (by mistake) ...

What I found when I use this indicator, forex or CFD charts are quite slow while futures charts are generally acceptable. Even if I limit the max number of candles to only 2K, it's still very slow. Perhaps, that's because of tick volume vs. real ...

When EMA is contracted, that's easier to trade. Your SL is smaller and your potential target is bigger. Under the orange colored box in the picture below, momentum is getting weaker and as a result, your SL becomes bigger and your potential target ...

Believe or not another mistake trade gave me a windfall on early Monday trading. I almost sold two normal contracts by mistake! When I juggle between normal and micro contracts, it's quite confusing time to time. I should be more careful next time. ...

How did I do that? When you follow EMA rainbow (the range is your choice) or Guppy, you're generally in the right direction. Also, CCI slingshot pattern could be an odd enhencer upon EMA contraction. The question is always 'timing'..... I am trying ...

In retrospect, it was obvious it was making a narrowing pennant pattern and a breakout was imminent. However, market was wild and I was already fed up with this PA by that time and just walked away. I had to focus on A+ setups with patience. ...

I am done for today and this week. Market is all the way choppy with narrow consolidation. I don't have a skill to trade under this lousy condition. Perhaps gold is not very good asset to trade for the time being? I had mostly losing ...

Made one more trade and managed to turn it black.... Not very efficient any way. I had to be more selective. Done for the Asian session. Time to have some sleep... image

Not very good start today.... Market is still nervous. Considering current price and situation, it's understandable.... 2 wins, 2 losses. A bit red in PnL. I better go to bed now. It's not very good condition to trade. image

No more trades during NY session. PA is somewhat nervous and it is 'thinking too much'.... Trading at this time is more risky. I will come back tomorrow Asian session.

Made some more trades before walking away for a break time. I had several loss trades too. Trading cost is substantial in micro scalping indeed.... image

I really love this small Stream Deck. It's really handy when I do micro scalping trades. I strongly recommend this. It's also cheap. Try it. image

I have some interesting idea to work with currently......... 2 or 3 seconds chart trading Trading with 2 or 3-second charts is a technique used by scalpers and intraday traders to analyze very short-term price movements and make ...

Buying gold when it's historically all time high is not easy.... Jim Rogers predicted $5K gold about 20 years ago and it looks it becomes true sooner or later.... World is crazy..

Asian morning session trade as a warming up... 1 loss and 1 win. Slightly red in PnL so far..... Looks good, feels good... I will go to have some sleep soon..... image

image In a retrospect, the first entry in my pic above wasn't bad. My entry was late so considering high volatility and expensive SL, I decided to use micro accounts and build a buy position whenever price comes down until demand zones. It didn't ...
