All these people taking profit and locking in is not really strengthening my confidence in the trade

{quote} No price barely touched my entry level. I had to decide to get out at BE or leave the trade running. Decided to give it room as I see better bull candles on the 144 tick. Could be wrong though..
At BE now.
Trading time is almost over and I can't wait for new corrections to complete.
I'm just glad I'm out of the trade unharmed
I am still long this trade. At this point as I feel as though I am trying to squeeze water out of a rock. ha ha ha

{quote} Now that I see a zoomed out screenshot he was indeed trading the expectation of the 233t.
Sorry, but like I said. For me the 233 orderflow was the corrective price action to the downside. And his stop was in the middle of nowhere.
You can't take one isolated swing, just because it retraced to a fib. I mean, yeah you can do whatever you like, but that's not how it is tought int he videos.
Stop below the last swing. In that case below 25940. But still, that swing is the 611T for me, not the 233 one.

Whatever works for you man, as long as you stick to the orderflow you see it doesn't matter what ticksize it is. Still a confusign screenshot


BTW:
I believe you are missing some candles.

Jeremy , can you post a chart about it? As what I can see from their chart was very narrow candle with very strong upward move.

No Im not missing any candles it’s a new contract/rollover so that’s why my chart is like that. He was trading the HL of the NSH on the 233t but with his first screenshot I didn’t see what he was getting at. And yes SL should have been at 25994 if that’s the swing that was being traded. Anyways have a good weekend.
Got myself into some trouble today but managed to get out with +40

Hello Mr. Pip,

Can you explain your trail on decision candle from 61.8? Was is because of heavy structure? Did you have to leave? Or is it something you always do after an AB=CD completion?

Thanks.

Regrds,

Gunnar
Hello guys,

I took the same trade as Mr. Pip, PeterT or Pair-me-up. I have couple of questions. What is the correct place of placing SL for this trade? How should be handled the profit taking? Some fibo level of AB=CD? Or trailing decion candles? But when to start trailing? I added another contract after 1:1 completion. I moved SL over BE but had to go away and I got stopped out. Happy trading.

Week 37
- 4 trades (+27)
- 2 winners
- 2 losers
- Traded 1 contract
- Demo trading

Improvements from last week
Overall I am quite happy with my trading. I was only able to trade 2 days due to a lack of screen time, but I will probably be able to trade all five days in the coming week. Anyway, it ended up to be a profitable week which is always a good thing.

While the following points of attention are still valid, I was able to trade more disciplined than the previous weeks. I will keep the following points on my radar.
a) Determine the right order flow to trade. Remind yourself of the last live streams you have watched where that was addressed in detail.
b) I have noticed I suffer from the syndrome of FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out). Don't do that anymore. Future possibilities will present themselves. Be patient.
c) Stick to your trade plan. Don't trade outside the hours that are in your trade plan.
d) Stop overanalyzing your trades. Like Damian said in one of his live streams. There's only 3 things you have to do:

1. Determine the expectation.

2. Determine how deep of a correction you would expect.

3. Execute when criteria no. 2 is met.

e) Determine an expectation for a correction based on projection, momentum and depth and wait for this expectation to play out.

f) Stick to the order flow that you are trading. Don't switch to longer or shorter term order flows over the course of a trading session.

g) Wait for price to develop. If price is in a complex correction for a longer period, be patient and wait for a break of the NSH/NSL or LH/HL.

h) Anything my fellow traders give me feedback on.


I have watched the last live streams where Damian explain his thought process in detail and really gets back to the basics. This is where I somehow got an aha moment in terms of harmonics and the basic question: "What is the market working towards?". Now I understand how this can help my trading and this was also something Parviz1953 was trying to explain to me. For the trading days ahead I will start using this to improve my trading.

Unfortunately I did not find the time to look into last weeks improvements. I think I will give this a little more time to work on.

  1. I will look into creating some kind of framework for myself to be able to determine strength and weakness without overcomplicating things (just some basic questions to answer). This is something that is keeping me busy over the last couple of days. I will keep you updated on that.
  2. Since I deviate from my trading plan so easily, I want to measure my trading a little differently. I am thinking about some kind of a score system to measure if I followed my rules or not. For each score there will be a reward waiting. I will keep you updated on that as well.

Below my charts. Comments are welcome as always.

Regards,

Gunnar

maybe you should talk about how to navigate different orderflows at the same time even trade them at the same time since i see that this is the big problem the rest is easy to follow
Been trading and losing I am thinking of giving up.yes I win some beautiful trades. but they are few and far in between. I am really not getting any head way. account sinking lower and lower hmmn.
Any mentors looking for mentee to take under their wing?

i cant be your mentor yet , but suggest you post your trade here thus we can give some idea or recommendation and you should slowly improve 1 by 1 , there were alot of thing that adjust 1 by 1 to improve , like focus on order flow first , did i look on wrong order flow , then timing entry , then etc etc .
Very low volume on 6E tick chart. anyone?
