there was nice supply at 35
Hey Div. I wanted to let you and the forum know that I definitely misread you. I only saw you when you appeared in the TMS thread. I assumed you were a troll and wanted attention. I never bothered to read your stuff. You are a fellow PA trader. Your setups are nearly identical to mine. We even share the CCI as an exit indicator for people who cannot yet read price bar by bar. I hold trades much much longer than you do, but the premise is still the same. If I was ever rude to you in any way, I apologize. BTW, are you from Brooklyn, or the Bronx?

Cake people.

A little observation, a little objectivity, a lot of consistency, and cake.

nice. think i would make it on the profit side..but the loss side, i would fail every time. it's too strict. $500 loss limit is nothing, it's just 100 ticks on 1 contract for NQ for a day trader. i think it's legit, but feels like they're covering to make sure most people fail. Also i think it's scalper focused rather than daytrader focused. just my opinion.

but good luck..let us know at the end of 14 days.

i stand corrected. i was looking at the 30k level. the 150k level is more doable...

On the second trade, i was setting the limit order but i pressed market instead and ended up in. Silly me, didn't immediately close, waited 4 seconds for a lucky spike but then came to my senses and closed at -2t. Lucky.

2nd trade was a loss, but during that trade i had to concentrate on staying sensible after the prior fumble. Did a little relaxation breathing. If i didn't do that, i wouldn't have entered the third trade.
