Just watched today, too much activity around a BRN which doesn't suit me. Missed a couple of good trades, opportunities everywhere. I'm just trying to develop more patience. image Just for fun, Rocky point on 20 sec. Could see how you could make ...

Last entry slipped me real good or I would have been out at plus 1 & done. 2nd entry, was testing trailing stop based on +1 after 5. But for my entries, I'm going to use a stop based on a 20TP or less. Had I where indicated, I would have been at ...

Nope, it gaps. This often confuses me as I'm wired up for the damn things to fill. I was so tempted to let that last short run (glad I didn't) but after an hour I get bored & 'things change'.

Plan the Trade

1 loss 2 wins & a couple of missed opportunities. Much more relaxed with this market, will return to the NQ probably when it calms down. YM good for developing the patience image

Sending positive thoughts & hope all is soon well.

+1 after 5 still bringing tears. I missed that short for bangers & mash in onion gravy. Twas worth it, have a good one all image

Its a mix I think depending on your purse size.

+ 10 yesterday, -3 today. If I'd just left it alone...Frustrating, but I'm getting closer looking at those 2 longs. Think the ATR was too high for my plus 1 setting (I think 19 at some points). Edit, that loss was a dumb move because I couldn't see ...

I know everyones styles are different, but I personally found that it is better for the soul if one gets a few small wins, say 1 or 2 plus 10's. Then when confidence has built up, increase the lots. I have tried random days on YM in sim & for my ...

You need the patience of a saint to trade the Dow after the NQ imho. It just falls asleep, & then kapow! I'm attempting to work on my technique... I think, less forgiving but at least the stops are sensible.

Anyone trying out MYM, proceed with caution if you have been used to MNQ. Behaviour is very different, but looks to be rewarding if you get it right. Takes patience so far from what I have seen so far. Sim trading essential at first imho.

Just added CBOT, I was initially thinking ftse, but the stops look to suit my needs on this. Appreciate the suggestion.

Been there, be careful. I thought it was the way, but another dead end when the market changes.

"small thinkers" or 'scared was it' GTFO lmfao. Look what a good guy divergence is in comparison. If DD were a troll, I'd accept it & take the piss. But when you consider the context of the thread, when you have to come on here running your mouth in ...

Looks like great minds think alike on that 1st break

The ES looks nice. But again stops. Margin different to NQ, I think after my -120 battering this week, I need to top the account up as it wouldn't let me enter. A comfortable +40 on those 2 breaks short. The other 2 retests, nice but not good for ...

Plan the Trade

Just while I'm here as well. Personally, I have found that the setups work on 20 seconds, or any timeframe you can dream up. Bigger timeframes require bigger stops, but they can be useful as a direction. If you can trade consistently in sim, then ...

Thanks Jason for the tip. Don't normally use the Dom, but I will be mindful of it in the future.

'Put me on ignore and move on'. Now there is something I can do.

-60 So on the last but 1 trade I got slipped on entry & although my stop was 20 it knocked me out at -33! My entries are fine but I must cease risking stops I can't afford. I would have a really good days this week if it wasn't for that. How does ...
