{quote} i actually struggled in college, just made it barely enough to graduate. Partly due to i was a damn meathead in college and only cared about working out and impressing the ladies...than spending time in the dorm room like my korean roomate doing homework haha but honestly i'm just average. i think my edge is in my power of observation for patterns..
yeh but can you do this

you crack me up man. I saw several of such acts around touristic places in Prague... all viewers and kids amazed at how they do it. Some of them involved 2-3 guys making it appear as if they are flying in air and holding each other. Some guys are creative! You will find many at fisherman's wharf in San Francisco also. I really admire the guys who paint their entire body and stand still like a statue for hours. It takes immense discipline!
Staying in my lane...

{quote} I have written a 100 posts about why I delete my posts and repeatedly tell everyone to put me on ignore if you don't like what I write or delete. I recall our last interaction...what are you up to since you entered the NQ arena around the same time I did? Keeping with the theme of your profile name... a) How much profits you made on NQ b) how much you have kept it thus far? Let's hear it bro EDIT: And now you know why I delete my post... as this post will also disappear within 24 hours. (sorry hilmy) {image}
I'm doing OK with futures, although it has taken some getting used to. I am doing more on YM than NQ since I am primarily a pattern trader and patterns seem to be more distinct on YM. I'll put the last 2 days patterns below (2 - 100 tick moves). I like 5 min charts (my retired mind is too slow for 30 sec charts). For exits, I generally use the price crossing 8ema.

{quote} somewhere before you talked about max contracts. how many is that currently?
I updated my contract size On the aggressive side for some setups up to 15 contracts total on full position to most conservative setup with 4 contracts total on a full position. Maximum contract for a single trade is still <10 (max of 6 actually)...most of my setups have positing building criteria..so it's not a one shot per setup. Overall avg contract based on all the setups taken is 7 contracts.

I felt that a fixed contract size position for all setups was not the way i want to trade, so went back and adjusted my size based on it's probability of reaching target.

I tie my trading back to poker. I mean you wouldn't bet the same holding AA then if you held low pocket pairs right?

Did some math on what my trading income is like per hour

turns out i only make $180/hour net. i know its a small sample size..but still, not as good as I thought

i got a long way to go....

week 1 tally. I don't know how to improve my MFE/MAE ratio without sacrificing consistency in daily gains...

I know my entries are just secondary, that's why i build positions most of the time.

appreciate that. this exercise of being transparent really does help curb the tilt tendencies somewhat. So i'm going to continue until i hit my account goal and after i've applied for exchange membership. After that point, i'll take this thread "out back" and shoot it, or maybe hand off to someone who would want to continue it with their own trading. All things come to an end, so i think that would be a good stopping point for this thread.

i'm already everybody's friend here (strictly trading friend lol). any questions you may have, i'll try to answer it. cause you're my frieeeeeendddd

And yes, like PF said, i strictly trade the futures market; more specifically the emini nasdaq. I left forex about 1.5 years back, took 6 months off and now back full time. I owe a lot to the guys that brought up the futures market in my old thread (https://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=10010&page=45). So those guys (sakisf, divergence, srt, etc.) really helped in getting me transition into this regulated market. It's funny how fate works sometimes.

Now i'm not going to bash otc forex, but the way that i was trading using market profile/vwap, otc forex couldn't give me the right data to trade with. to each his own.

been having upper respiratory infection last 1.5 weeks, so i'm racking up all the natural stuff (essential oils, diffusers, face steamers, natural drinks.etc....) just to get the body to flush the shit out

last night, also had a temporary shooting pain on the wrist (carpal syndrome).

so gonna stay home.

might as well do livestream too..it's been a minute

maybe this weekend i'll sign up for chiropractic adjustment and jsut overall massage..

So i was switching back and forth between NQH and NQM contracts on tradingview for analysis and forgot to switch back to NQM contract when i started streaming. In the middle of the stream, I was like, why is the sierra NQM chart not showing my US trades?

The NQH still looks pretty liquid so i didn't notice any difference. Will upload the stream video in a bit once it's done processing
