"livesim" whatever that means. I got the account on Wednesday afternoon but didn't trade it until Friday. That was a bad first day and lost $300. I was able to come back strong yesterday and today with +555 and +195. Basically I'm up a few hundred bucks after the monthly data fee of 100 that they pull directly out of the account.

plus 6T yesterday. been noticing a recurring pattern on the ES that has been stopping me out on 123s unless I close the trade early.
a bit of research found it to be more of a trader Vic 123 than a typical hh-lh-ll etc. anyways, decided to take a trade I had been having trouble with, in sim,
and closed at plus 9T. but I suspect much longer might have reversed on me, just got bored with the experiment. sorry about the chart dump below.
regards

one trade this morning. missed a good entry right when I tuned in, hesitated and well.....
entered a long trade on a 123 following recent market pattern, closed on a spike for plus 5T, just felt like a stop run on shorts.
the noon time hour showed volatility afterwards probably on some news/tweets etc. check on it later.

Took some patience to trade this. Called that double bottom, but didn't have the nerve to trade it given the previous price action. The YM, is really challenging after being used to the NQ. But if you can't afford the stops, I'm not sure what else there is. Have a good one guys/gals.

Hello Capstone. What is you settings for stoh? and mov aver?

  • Dec 4, 2020 12:17pm Dec 4, 2020 12:17pm
Slow Stoch is 11, 9, 5 based on simple mov avg. Moving averages are both weighted at 17 and 162. I also have a 7 EMA I sometimes use, but am starting to move away from it and sticking with the two on this last chart. The 26 SMA is also interesting. I sometimes look at it in place of the 162 weighted. I always come back to this set up though.

+ 6 down from +10, pointless by the time I arrived. YM is dangerous if the ATR is low.

I thought this pertinent. Not that I'm advocating (or encouraging) anyone to go off & engage in reading another book or course, but this is a quote that can help remember what is so easily forgotten.

Hey Onejester,

I know this thread is primarily focused on price, and price alone, and many are learning following H's 123/2b setups, but the Adam Grimes quote is inaccurate.

Ranges/consolidations/zippers have some of the sharpest edges of any market condition because they can be so predictable. Furthermore, they often have incredibly tight risk requirements that can translate into outsize RR.

Unfortunately, price alone will not be enough to trades these accurately, for that you will need a basic understanding of orderflow.

If Adam Grimes doesn't study and implement orderflow that is his choice, and ranges will continue to remain a mystery to him.

Quite frequently traders confuse orderflow as an extension of technical analysis or worse some kind of indicator gimmick. This is unfortunate, as the truth is all price movement is a result of what occurs on the book.

Thanks for the insight, all I know is if I can stay out of being sucked into a range it keeps me emotionally in check. I will read up and further my knowledge on orderflow though.
