Back to the Future – My Freewheeling Journal

Couldn't resist... 17 points locked in. DAX m5.

Squared. No position in the market.

now I hear your "passionate" Italian accent, it is coming through the thin veil of 1's and 0's , I am scared for my life now "not literally" this time.

aside from a little sarcasm I hear your posts and I truly understand what you mean , I get it all now that there's no need to go on a whole circle debate that explains the no response and just the likes part.

market is not random , it is inefficient and our job as traders is to benefit from that inefficiency and that little sequence of certainties after years of chart screening you get a sense of certainty in a world of chaos - that's probably your edge that will never diminish the ability to distinguish uncertainty from certainty, chaos from order.

That's a beautiful post, my dear friend. Beautiful.
That's my message.

So my "poor" English is able to do its job!? I'm really happy about it!

Same conditions... Same trade. Bought the Pull Back.
Banking along the road!! +56 points...

your english is not inadequate as mine.
your choice of words are elaborate and "passionate"

it takes a lot of time, effort, losing, winning, sweat & tears to read between the lines you posted.
it sure will appear pretentious and philosophical to the amateur but if you've been deep in the mud there's no trouble understanding your passionate lines.

bravo.
all I can do for now is, look at your trades in "awe".

how long have you been in the game btw ?

No, please... don't say in "awe"... I am just "mr. No one".
Anyway...
I have been studying for the last seven (full) years... starting completely from scratch!
Every minute of my life was dedicated to the Mission, to the Cause: day, night, weekends... in complete crazy full immersion.
And I had never seen a chart or a candlestick before! Never.

I began to see some things in the haze only one year, one year and half ago...
And think that I was lucky with my start: immediately with feb2865 and fti.
So I didn't waste time around rummaging in the rubbish!
Yes.
It's a long path. I wasn't able to find a shortcut.

I must admit I didn't like this stop hunting around 380...
we'll see.
@393 my long scouts.

Deep retrace.
That's it... really, really disappointed. I saw the Inversion... but didn't want to obey!
Now I withdraw my troops.
Ready to re-enter... if this will reveal itself as another stop hunting move.
But S&P is coming down...

Anyway, thanks Mummy. Nothing to complain about. Another good day.

Ouch!
It was a damned well-targeted Stop Hunt. I was right (Bad sentence... too much Ego in sight!)
But, at that moment, I had decided to go out for walk! (Ah! Very wrong timing!)
So I wasn't there... to take advantage from the move.
That's nothing.
The important thing is the Right Mindset... to see, understand and follow the Market's Moves.
The important thing is to take care of our body... we almost kill ourselves with these too many hours of computer.

Now, on a H1 chart we are approaching a delicate Point of Confluence. So be careful.
On a D1, sense and intentions of the Move are clear: who will win? We'll see. Be ready to follow.

Frankfurt and London Open... DAX m5.

Trailing Stop hit. Too tight! (Actually, my objective was 480...)
Now watching.
Waiting for new info and the Bulls' reaction.
Good morning, all.
Have a green day... Trade always in control.

m5...

@480 - OODA - Observe. Orient. Decide. Act!

Banking...
Scout always in! @503

One second of distraction... and I missed the PB @460... ouch.
The "relaxation" after having banked!
Ah! This Human factor...

Anyway Scouts are sitting up there. We'll see.

Yeah!!
Another thread of those is just starting: "What makes You lose in the market?"
That's simply unbelievable...
