God.... Rithmic is 10 times better than CQG. Full market depth with MBO is just amazing..... No one can beat Rithmic. You should change to Rithmic if you haven't done so already.

I don't have statistics but it seems traders generally don't live long..... Many have health issues. Trading is very hard job.

not trying to complicate the process, but one idea that could possibly add some confluence in the decision making process is to find where the cumulative delta is not lining up with the price action

Nothing wrong with confirmation. In fact, it is what I need personally. Alternatively stokes @ 833:

woke up late after the ny open. 2 dark italian roasts later I couls concentrate a bit. plus 5 on one trade, missed several others. I am
liking the high/low bar graph adding a moving price line to see where I am. otherwise the same, looking for 2B re-traces after 1-2-3s.
good luck

Good to see the thread still going, so much value here. I'm actually reading and studying the market profile posts from 2 years ago to get 1 or 2 additional setups added to my strategy. Still trading the 123 pullback and 2B setups and had a good week with 2 winning days and 2 around BE. Reviewing my trades during the weekend is reducing the number of bad trades I take.

I like Harolds latest method, very visual method which I like. Am practising it with the replay function in Sierra Charts and just had +36 with 4 trades for today's first 20 minutes. The pause candles are easy to spot and getting better with the 123's.

Have a good weekend all.

+25, some mistakes, but where I want to be for today. Been doing a lot of testing over the past couple of weeks, let's see how we go. I'm in sim until I get some consistency over the next week or two.

a very busy morning, missed a couple then a plus 9. must be close to levels where cta's are re-adjusting longs vs shorts. regardless, better for me to trade
safely than cowboy it. hope you all did well.
good luck

three trades this morning. a minus 8 plus 7 and plus 2. last one felt a bit like revenge so called it quits. no need to prove a point to myself that I can be
proven wrong by the market. closed one trade i missed prior to economic news being released, just a recipe for wild swings to run stops.
good luck

Down 6 crap pa for me, trying to keep trades to a min so unless it clears up later I'm done.
Edit, there it is +13 and I'm out of time patience for the day.

have to keep those stops tight, any random tweet can run on you. was able to keep home distractions at bay this morning to watch price action, when sellers vs buyers move in. first trade, totally misread buyers, thought I was good for a few quick ones short, minus 8. next two plus 12 and plus 6. no visible slippage on
exits, have not had any on entries or stops in some time.
good luck
