Closed this Dow long before news.
Opened last night and closed +245. Although it should be noted that initial drawdown was around -100 (for those wondering, my initial stop was 25486 and price reached a low of 25536).
Clearly it'd have been even more profitable if I'd waited for the retracement to take place but hopefully it shows that, with appropriate trade management, entries don't have to be spot on.

Hello,
Please have a look at my attempt to trade the system. Is this hopeless?
I'm selling GU 7 bars back; price had broken the up trendline and resisted the down trendlines... until.. after I entered the trade... it didn't.
I have the feeling this isn't going to work out well...???
Best regards,
Ben

It's not hopeless 
However, you did sell just above the daily open line. That can at times attract or repel price.

Hi Laura,
Pretty nice thread and my appreciation for the work you put . Not many who would spend their time to share free and care about others. Hope Karma will pay back you one day. I am going through the thread page by page with much interest.

Suranga.

Closed out a FTSE trade +81.
Waited for bearish momentum to end (trendline) before getting long.
I'm hesitant to keep posting trades like this as they are basic roadmap trades and don't contain much in the way of learning. However, I'm also conscious that they might give others encouragement as to what's possible. So, I'll probably continue to post the occasional trade to the thread

My trades, from yesterday and today.
Tried to incorporate TL today, finished reading of all Laura's posts
.
Single trades mostly, couple of double bullets.
Loss on US500 on 1 min, probably just too busy for me. Will try 5 min tomorrow.

Another 240 points on Dow. Some weeks the sun shines, and you have to make hay
Pretty standard trade, waited for bearish momentum to clear and got long.

I don't always get it right either, so in no way an expert.
This time it worked for me to stay away.
When a pair is in a solid uptrend, I want price to prove to me it wants to change direction:::
While the bands/sma were saying possible short...I look at price structure to show me it really wants to go lower.
I finally decided if it was going to change and go short there would be a better entry later.
My approach is a marriage of roadmap and structure, Roadmap tells me a trade is possible, structure tells me whether to take it or not.
humbly submitted for your consideration..

Hi Laura, how do you exactly use that true trend indicator? thanks!
It's just set to 200, which replicates the channel crossing the SMA200.

Dow being very generous lately. Another bunch of points bagged.
Slight difference with this trade is that it was an 'add to profitable trade' one, not to be confused with a multi-bullet entry. It meant I ended up with double my normal position size.
