Back to the Future – My Freewheeling Journal

OK clear rising support... thanks. We'll see.

13.020 et voilà. Missile. Banking another 50 points!
Trade well.

Happy and satisfied in closing the last Platoon!
All men at home with their prisoners... LOL

#4636 - "Why does everyone like to guess, and predict.
Try to follow the flow, when you get a levels feel, guess (when you go into it) the strategies..
Aiya... this is getting very hard, you people cannot get rid of old bad habits.

So hard? FOLLOW flow... not LEAD flow."

#4632 - "Actually how can you feel anything with all the prediction in your head?
I always asked for you to feel market not feel your predictions."

It is hard to follow because we can't read the tape.
Some are lazy for some its too damn difficult it takes a lot of trial and error.
And most are daunted at how difficult and complex it can be to read the tape properly.

To me it seems much easier and simpler to just predict.

wait I didn't say it works !
but I wish it did
then again nothing is

I know. I know.

@13.009... this could be interesting, now! We'll see.

what's wrong with me
can't keep a trade for more than a second.

lack of knowledge,
lack of practice probably

I see what you're seeing

While waiting... some guitars from Africa. So beautiful.

Piquant my friend... you must need to demo this concept: "Stop thinking in candles! Try to think in waves: waves of buyers and wave of sellers."

Each wave as a Fractal Start and a Fractal End.
Chose your direction following Dow rules.
Calculate your risk. Place your stop (above or below) and ACCEPT IT!

Action and reaction. You must accept it.
You must absolutely modify your mindset.

This is why I'm now on the other side. Scaling out and banking another 50 points after a strong and quick attack!

How can I explain all that?
In the chart above I wrote down only the main points... but there's a lot more!
Nothing of esotheric: normal and classic bar by bar analysis.

And now only scouts in! And of course stop in place!
Waiting for the reaction and a possible second attack if I'm right!.... if I'll be wrong, well, I know what to do...!!! !!! !!!

13.000 scaling out again!
Wash, rinse and repeat...

Just an example of what I mean... Break and no PB? Direct move? Gap up?
But again: you must know what this pattern, a triangle, means... and how to trade it!

So... now, to all the readers: don't think about me!
I have my profits, my house money from a day of trading.
I can do what I want: I am beyond good and evil, in this moment!
I can even force a bet: a directional bet, paying for my stop.
I could be wrong: and I know where and when I have to admit it.

So, please, trade well. Always in control.

@12985 It is hard to be the biggest planet of them all. The bringer of Jollity!

Of course I'll try to stay: sitting tight. Let your profit run.
Trailing stop at work. I don't fight anymore. Do it for yourself, if you like it!

Too tired... I'll take them and I'll call it a day.

pump rest, break rejection
always appreciate the visual representation of how your mind operates.

I've seen this pattern in an uptrend, usually after a big retracement so there would be no PB , pullbacks do happen within a range when it breaks above or below or when its trending in mini structures up and down. This was a major pull back within the major uptrend on 5m then again on 1h we were trading in an upward range.

Ok I'm getting more and more confused don't think I'll be able to see the market the way you do in terms of complexity and relation between the dynamics but first and foremost I need to at least learn to play move PB, pump rest, break test along with the levels, after seeing your screenshots I realized I was too sloppy in determining my levels and only assessed the terrain, assessing the train alone is not enough because I'm looking back, level playing is the "now"

Yesterday when you were playing the correction after price found support there was a clear level just as you mentioned and price was heading up, but I was left there wondering if I should take this correction but my mind kept nagging that we're still in a downtrend with series of LH's and LL's

I need to learn to differentiate between correction and impulse well when I see one I think I do recognize them now , but as to trading the correction I kind of freeze and keep wondering if I, should I ? because I didn't have my levels ! S&R pump and rest, reject and break, move and PB.
