Here are the trades I took. You'll notice that I took the one from the top that you talked about. I also took one straight away yesterday to illustrate why we try to get the one from the top, so much less heartburn and reminder to size right. Also ...

Great observation. Try replacing it with... two profitable weeks in a row. Much learned. Keep building the momentum. You can see we have the same ideas. It's not the entry as much as the idea. I see the potential danger and exit this week. As you ...

Well, I showed you the trade yesterday to try and help motivate you back to positive trades after a mental letdown AND to show you this is all you need to do. In interest of disclosure, I did run the trade from the pivot... your instincts are good. ...

Don't discount things you've noticed/learned, but never forget the basics in your evaluation. Here is the basic trade from today that you mentioned. I saw it had hit the MA when I got home, it was still close, entered, looked for move back to weekly ...

Down Move - No Bias Took the one I missed the other day. A basic short during a down move from the top of the range. Price began the day below the 50 and pivot the other day, entered an order at the 50. It did close back above both the 50 and pivot, ...

Now, we go to that week. We immediately make a low and test the low and fail. At the start of the next day, we are in between the 50 and pivot. This change in position of price along with the failure at the low gives a low "pip" risk long with a ...

I might be wrong, but i think this is the second time during the journey you've been more focused on an up move while we are in a no bias down move. Don't try to will the market into what you want... it might lead you into seeing things that aren't ...

Had to go out of town on business... what did I learn from last week in the exercise? Look at the picture... image What can I take from this.... Well, to me, it's clear... don't be scared to close a trade. In both instances, there were clear signs ...

I don't know if anyone other than Rearden is following along, so I did this set of trades for Rearden's benefit, but if anyone else is following along, look at the picture and see what you think, take note of your feelings about what you see, and ...

Finally have a moment to update. UP BIAS, DOWN move. Re-capture the s50 trade is in focus. Price opened the year doing just that. I entered on the pullback, but we got some interesting action compared to previous situations. This time, the simple50 ...

Happy New Year Here is a picture of Thursday. image I put in my orders at the 50 and pivot and checked before bed to see if they hit. Amazingly, price danced around my order, but didn't bring me in. And at the time I was watching, the candle above ...

Price re-captured the moving average, which gave the go ahead to engage again. I entered straight away (got to the screen late, so missed a few pips on entry). Also placed a larger retrace entry as well. That entry worked a few months ago, not ...

Up Move, Up Bias. Turns out the exit was at a nice place. Price has now dropped below the pivot and s50. This is a pretty good place to enter just based on being close to the bottom of the range, but I learned in the early weeks that I'd rather wait ...

So here is the result from the above setup... Basic exercise entries, wake up, basic exit when it goes back to where it came from. Not aggressive with this playing with my theory that upside might be limited for the moment due to down moving s50. ...

Up Bias, Up move Price went back into an up move. It did cross the s50 and stay above, but in doing so, it also went into an up move at the same time. So, I didn't take the s50 early trade that I took the last couple of weeks, because the simple50 ...

We switched to an up move in an up bias. I closed out the early entry for about 150 pips. It may continue, but tomorrow is Friday and this is me showing how to do the exercise, so a good place to close. I'll discuss a few things. image First, I've ...

Bias: UP Move: Down Still in a down move within a range. But the bias remained UP from last week to this week. I am in two trades right now, the early reversal attempt and I also entered a pullback to the pivot on Friday. Wasn't thinking about it ...

Move: Down Bias: UP A great trade for the exercise. I discussed it over on Rearden's journal as well. Last week I had this trade and it resulted in a big profit. This time, no good. I gave Rearden the question... what is different between the two? I ...

Bias: Up Move: UP Good week, so closing trade and no new trades on Friday. We started the week in an up move, quickly went to a down move, and then we got what Rearden has seen me do and is testing... which is to attempt an early entry before an ...

Price has made a couple of pushes higher since opening the positions, so I will close them now. Unfortunately, the pushes didn't move price significantly higher, but I was looking for a couple of pushes and I have no control if they will actually go ...
