If you're trading the renko H-A rocky method, the 200 SMA will be a hindrance more than a help, imo. If you're going to trade roadmap, trade roadmap. If you're going to trade rocky, trade rocky.

Roadmap - A Way To Read Markets

Your entry was exactly as I would have done. Your target is terrible. Why would you target 1.5 points? That was an easy +25 tick winner had you had the proper target. Were you targeting the 200 ema? Not a good trade plan, imo. Entry was perfect. ...

A very rare day as this is an almost perfect day: A few small winners before hitting one for my full take profit target, and the most I was ever in drawdown was less than $10.00 This is what I'm sure we'd all like to experience every day. But this ...

I for one don't think I can offer any suggestions without posting a chart showing your trade executions. You say you enter and then "price reverses after 3 or 4 ticks and I'm not fast enough to get out." Are you expecting every trade to go directly ...

ES moves ok for a few days to week or two and then just gets so tough. Lots of back and fill. I'd like to trade it alone, because in my mind that's what the big boys trade. But I do find the NQ and YM often better for moving enough, even when in a ...

Stopped out ... looked good and then quickly turned to bear food. Done for the day.

+60 in my NT account. If you look left I mark the signal and entry I used earlier for a nice short trade in my Tradovate prop eval account. image

M1 NQ configuration I use on these days when it is realy zippy. Profit target is +60 ticks. image

I really take my cues for NQ M1 off the 34 ema and entr on trend Heiken Ashi candles closing above it for longs, below it for shorts.

I hit a couple of good NQ trades after that initial ES trade. When the ES god flattish it can be difficult to get in an out of with hurting yourself. NQ can fly and looks scary, but because it flies you can often get +60 ticks before losing -60 ...

I do not trade this time of the session. But what a beautiful short set up on the ES. The NQ had the same set up. Retraced back to the 34 ema, then reversed down. image

These look a lot alike except the pullback in the down trend was deeper than the pullback in the up trend. This is why I always repeat that we have to trade price and not the indicators. The indicators are a guide, but only price pays. In the top ...

1) I presume you are asking about why I didn't take a long but did take the short? First, when I say the 8ema high has to be above the 34 ema, I don't mean to say I'd buy on a first cross. I mean that if the 8 ema tunnel is ABOVE the 34 ema and then ...

Nice little system there if you trade in direction of MACD cross, buying/shorting pullbacks to the tunnel ema's once the tunnel crosses the longer ema. image

Yes it is an interesting chart. I'd have to get used to watching a straight renko chart before I'd be able to trade it. I've been watching either regular time based candlesticks OR renko Heiken-Ashi only. renko smooths the trend, and Heiken-Ashi ...

Study that chart I made up for you. There should never be a question of what you're going to do. "If price does X, I'm getting long." Use the bar status tool as a guide to help you set buy stops or sell stops. And finally, just as I suggested to ...
