It is nice to see you displaying the harmonic patterns. This is an area that I need to strengthen and gain more confidence in.
Luck has no place in trading. Leave that for the poker table.

You will be exposed to it all. I just can't keep it slow anymore. Those that want to grow will run with me. Time to get out of the mud and get to the top.

Had you added to your trade at the BAT completion would you have been in rescue mode or perhaps looking to profit on the average at typical BAT targets (.618 of bat CD leg) ?

I would have secured a BE to protect capital and on to the goal of the trade and the expectation.

Hello Traders, Hope you guys are happy with the content that has come out so far and are getting invigorated about that climb to the top. A couple of points I want to mention. 1. In the live stream I mentioned about opening an account with 5K and building it through the live streams and daily with the MM and all the limitations small accounts face. There was a very positive response to that but I wanted to get the thread's opinion. Does that have tremendous value? Do you wand to see this as a real account with real trading? 2. The live streams are...
hello Damian, both will be great especially the first one.

Thank you Damian for the wise words. I have had two losing days in a row, and I tend to forget that it doesn't really matter, as long as I am following the rules and the plan. Believe it or not, just those few words you typed completely changed my perspective on the day. Going over my trades now. Thanks.

1. Yes Damian, opening the 5K account and showing us that would be immensely valuable. Your trade discipline is most likely the same in all capital situations but trading on the 5k account live vs your real account would show real value for us low capital traders that watch your material.

2. Yes Damian you should definitely expose us to more of the intermediate to advanced knowledge so we can grow further. I never new what harmonics were a few months ago but after watching your videos I always look for Gartleys, Bats, ABCD, AB=CD. Those set ups give me confidence in entering and no hesitation if I take a loss.

Thank you but it's the only way to get the emotion back in check.

So I decided to trade the 5 minute order flow as opposed to the 30 minute order flow and a question I have is regarding trailing.

1. How aggressively do you start trailing your winners if you are within a 1-3 point range of harmonic or ratio exhaustion? I've noticed that price sometimes gets exhausted within a small margin of harmonic or ratio exhaustion and watching a winner turn into a breakeven is difficult. I also don't want to strangle the trade.

2. I know that harmonic and ratio exhaustions are relative to time scale so a 1-3 point range is peanuts for somebody trading the longer time frames/tick intervals but for somebody like me who has an avg stop of 10-20 points and profit target of 20-40 points, it's significant. Just hate seeing a winner turn into breakeven if it is so close to profit targets.
