Hello 60mm, I have been following your wonderful (slightly old now!) thread on Buy/Sell line trading which has been very helpful (understatement!), as well as the Steve Primo vids on youtube.
KISS trading is absolutely the way to go and I am now attempting to rigorously follow the B/S line style (very slightly amended to my own style) and if you are interested will post trades.
Following that thread brought me here and I can see you are using a custom indi to measure range extensions, could I ask where I could get this from as it looks very useful and I would like to use it in my analysis of B/S line trading please?
I can see from this journal that you have to be almost religious in your faith in any system which aims for greatness, not letting the inevitable rough passing storms distract your long term focus and so on...
I see that you have moved out of your comfort zone of 1:1 r:r and aiming for much higher r:r which means of course watching numerous "good" trades hit stops but having the knowledge that this only means we are now aiming for "great" ones. I admire your discipline to simply move on from the stopped out trades (especially those that come in a row), reset/ stick to the plan and not start getting distracted and over analyse everything.
I believe that's the difference between long term success and failure in trading, right there.
Probably not as intellectually high brow as your heavy weights but I take massive inspiration from big wave surfers as I see so many parallels with aiming for high r:r trends, hence my profile name.
Here's one from Laird Hamilton: “Everything comes down to attitude: You determine what yours is, and the external world will reflect it back.”
