nice post j f the key thing is your identifying the price action with more screen time improvement is sure to come
The "thrust" bar, with HH or LL seems so important, even if not 100%.
So simple after the fact and so difficult live.
Thanks for your participation in that thread Divergence.
Cheers,

had my fair share of screw ups today was up 37 three trades when HH and HL where in place, then hit buy market instead of buy limit, then tilted a bit , waited and took two lots for + 25 to recover

it makes no differnce if the setup happens there as long as entry is after first 5 minutes

i tend to discount price action during first 5 mn, as you have shown it pays to pay attention, point taken, thank you Sir.

there are 2 kinds of 123s the ones that form at end of trends and the ones that form to get back into trends if you look at my second trade thats a 123 to get back into trend it helped that a thrust bar appeared at point 3

{quote} yep i guess noone traded today howd you do
Just saw this H. I didnt place a live trade. I am reworking a couple things and looking for what chart type i can see the price movement best.
Still enjoying reading the thread and seeing everyone's input.
I will be praying for CG. He has been a solid and positive leader of our talks for a long time.

That moment when I understood why Div uses 20 sec charts. It is a proxy for the tape.

Edit: I do not endorse SMB as a prop firm or anything like that, but they are definitely are looking for "independent traders" who can get something out of their vids. They are not talking in their videos to rank newbies. It seems that they are looking for people like hilmy and Harold to take the leap.

3 trades today (SIM):

T1: short on a 123 with small thrust bar (is it the same entry as your first at 97.50 by any chance Divergence?)
T2: long from the first 123 after a possible change of trend
T3: short after a nice thrust bar that took out previous HL to form a LL (kind of not clean 2b with nice thrust bar break). I won’t lie, I was piss*d off that this one didn’t even react, as it went to +2T positive max :0)

That being said, I would definitly love every day to finish positive like this one!

Have a nice week end everyone.
Cheers,
J-F
