Yeah Eur/Usd in 2012 - 2013 back when there was volatility. Although at the time, i didn't do 2b's.
Those days are long gone this NQ is a beast even when it's not volitile

{quote} +2 when up 7 in these volatile times

  1. You also exit before your TP hits at times.... so
  2. increasing force coming to your entries = cancel
  3. decreasing force coming to your TP = run with your profit
  4. Close the stop at 10:30 am ET regardless of the daily outcome
  5. Tick range between SL and Entry always remains fixed regardless of the scale/range. If candle is too big, take entry at half the candle size but never ever increase the SL size (i.e. increase risk resulting in increased drawdown) to accommodate a forced entry in the setup that is too big in range. Correct? I have seen your SL placed right on the wick at times.
  6. Take every signal regardless of how many consecutive stops are taken out.... there is no max daily loss control in place. Correct?
  7. Apart from that, 123 PB and 2B setups are pretty straightforward
  8. Ignore all the other stats. They are all irrelevant. Making some $$$ as daily income everyday in the first hour is the primary objective of this strategy!

That looks right vee fx as I said in these volatle times taking half the bar still leaves stop within the candle so I would see where low is and move entry up 12 ticks visa versa for shorts 1 more thing when up 7 stop to +2 when up 17 lock in 10 if price gets close to target and pulls back grab

In my journey, I have hated charts so much that I got rid of all image editing software. Someone can do a better job than me via snipping tool :-

EDIT: I deleted my "art work" to avoid confusion. Post 8026 should suffice

Thanks for the setup screenshots. I have also noticed you taking entries on the tip of wick at times. Tips are my favorite entries so are there any specific conditions you look for?

I finished listening to all videos in your channel. Thinking about my own money mgmt plan towards daily income, this is what I came up with. I estimated about average of 4 round trip trades per day trading 4 contracts. An average of net 23 ticks is most certainly doable 4 days a week for 52 weeks.

I passed on that based on all the demand at 55.00 since 9:30 and the fact that there was no clear pullback there. It was sideways for 3 minutes.
