{quote} +$1590 definitely not an easy day. i think the market was bluffing with the deep retracement, and i just kept buying cause i didn't believe it would reverse, especially after a whole day of trend and the vwap was untouched. I thought the most it should do it retrace back to near high if it's not going to resume trend, but a complete reversal?...i called the market's bluff on that one.. {image} {image}
+$915

this was not the best day from execution stand point. initially i took a long trade and realize after i was in, it was not a valid setup per rules. Ok i made a mistake. But i decided to hold on to it for some reason to get out at b/e. That small loss turned into a bigger loss. this is just breakdown in discipline. I still need to work on this. If i was to rate my discipline from 0-100%, i would honestly say it's at 70%.

But the rest of the day, it was jsut per the strategy. managed to pull a profit.

Noticing the volatility is shrinking a bit. i hope it'll pick up later in the month..

{quote} it seems to be a festival movie, with very limited theatre present, and only a few screenings worldwide. you can contact them and ask directly where to buy: https://www.facebook.com/FuturesPastMovie/ (i dont have FB to do)
from the sales guy:

Hi there, I’m afraid the movie is not available for purchase yet as it’s still playing film festivals around the country. Please sign up on the film website and provide your email address and we’ll alert you when you can buy it. Many thanks for the interest.

So i figured out how to fix the trades issue in sierra...UNINSTALL/REINSTALL. unfortunately, since it pulls data from CQG (and CQG doesn't allow trade download past a day), i lost my trades history prior to today.

i guess this is why sierra can't reset completely for the new week once open trades are registered on the platform, since the data it pulls from is no longer there (only current day trade fills are available)

Now if i can remember not to hold trades overnight...everything would be ok going forward lol. I know there is a setting that vee mentioned that would fix the issue if i had known on the day of to allow sierra to "match" the trades correctly.

This is why i can't download fill report beyond a day from CQG (unless i go back to the fills history from the CQG platform and manually input it).

well, i learned something today.

time for fifa

Wanted to post and share my strategy so that anyone seeing my videos can refer to it and see how i trade based on it My strategy is based on Momentum. I actually call it POC Pulse strategy The indicators i use 1. volume profile with value areas 38% (.5sd), 68% (1sd), 87%(1.5sd) and 95% (2sd) 2. vwap with bands (1.5sd and 2sd) 3. pivots 4. current day high/low (today's range) 5. previous day high/low (yesterday range) I have 3 basic setups 1. momentum Before starting a session, i observe the behavior of the POC. Did it make an impulse in the last...
There have been couple of changes to my strategy

1. I removed pivots. The only pivots i used before were PP (h+l+c/3) and R1/S1 (r1=yesterday high, s1=yesterday low). The R1/S1 is modified based on this guy's research (http://thepatternsite.com/PivotPoints.html) (the person i actually learn quite a lot from). But the reason I removed pivots is because my trade decisions no longer are based on these levels. they're just for reference, but if i'm not using it to trade, i decided it's simpler to remove it

2.the volume profile poc no longer serve as market structure determination. Prior to this, i had POC and vwap both functioning in similar way; determining if the market is trending or ranging. But after a while, I realize that both are giving me similar information, so i decided to stick with vwap. Why vwap? i find more evidence from my own trading results that this is what bigger traders/algos use this as framework to initiate trades. For a good background listen to this (https://chatwithtraders.com/ep-011-zach-hurwitz/) (starts at around 40:00 minute mark-but i recommend listening to all of it)- this guy's approach to market is VERY similar to how i approach trading-it's all about discerning PATTERNS within the context of basic market structures.

3. volume profile is used for reference. in volume profile, i can anticipate the direction of point of control (which i use as possible entry). i watch for low volume areas where market likes to go to

Besides that, everything pretty much remained the same. Just to reiterate on how i start my session

1. i determine if the market is trending or ranging or breaking out or is it a gap fill setup or fomo (yes i do have "fear of missing out" pattern). All these setups have entry points, stops, targets, and null conditions (rules that determine when they start and end).

2. if it's ranging i go through several "no fade" rules. These are rules that I have built over time to save my ass from "catching the knife" situations. i also have "no breakout", "no trend", "no gap" rules etc. Every setup must have exceptions because they don't work all the time.

3. in fade and gap fill setup-i am conservative (less contracts and smaller tp). In breakout/trend-i'm aggressive (use bigger size and targets)

4. I stop for the session once one of these happen - i hit my 20% of the session range at start OR hit my session end times or hit my 20% max DD.

Based on these rules-i am able to hit almost 80-90% profitable days. my average win% for typical setup is about 55-60%.

I have updated my strategy to link to this page for the update

If you trade similar to this and you decide to trade NQ, i would advice trading with $25-30k. The higher the better; and this is why i'm working towards a $100,000-$150,000 account goal as this is the safe level to insulate against the volatility. This is a DAYTRADER strategy, NOT a scalper strategy. Your stops (as well as TP) will be bigger (sometimes over 200 ticks) due to the nature of the market structure. If you trade with less, you're likely will face bigger drawdowns and possible wipeout

But I guess 200 ticks is a emergency stop.. Right?... Or do they get hit.. . You mentioned your winning % but what about RRR? BTW I have great respect for you . You have a full time job,, a family with smaller kids and trade profitable . That's awesome ..

yes 200 ticks is just an example say 1-2 months ago when volatility was higher. i was tracking my stats with sierra until the trade issues came up and had to re-install and lost my history. but i can point to 2 months here (https://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?p=11828657#post11828657) and here (https://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?p=11951353#post11951353). you can see my average gain/loss is >1.0

and my ROMAD is about 3.

i don't really pay attention to these ratios really. i'ts just simple did you make money or not? all these other things..are all hedge fund manager wannabe talk to be honest. You're talking to the regular guy about what you're doing, he's not going to care except for how much and how much per hour?

I sometimes watch these types of documentaries. When you see hundreds or thousands of $$$ in and out of your account, you'll start to become desensitized to value of money. But watching this, helps me put things in perspective. Helps ground my ego and sometimes when i feel like splurging on stupid shit, i just remember the struggle of earning a living.

Keep humble, stay hungry.

I have the trades data from my own records that my tick pnl is about 10-15% of the 10 day range (by position)......this is after aiming on average 20% range in both asian and US sessions. this means one thing, market makes its major move in eu preopen. unfortunately i'm a human being and i need sleep, otherwise, i'd be trading all 3 sessions

he's a millionaire trader and also a cme member. his approach to risk is not the typical retail trader way of managing risk.

he basically trades similar to how i trade; in separate sessions.

pretty good information. (yes it's an old video)
