CULT of Horizontal

This is where I will come to release all of the noise in my head and show you what I am doing in the markets

I have been trading in some form for a very long time. I used to be pretty good at it once upon a time.
In April 2015 I had an aneurysm in my ascending aorta that dissected. Very deadly event for most, but after a 14 hr emergency open heart surgery on Friday and another 9 hours on Monday, I came out the other side.

Many things both physical and mental happened as a result of this....one of which is that I forgot how to trade.

This is my journey back to being a profitable trader.

HOW I TRADE:
It is so simple it is almost silly.

1) NO Indicators...they are absolutely worthless.
2) Draw Horizontal line at points of decision
3) Trade the closed candle body.
4) Have a keen sense of situational awareness

RULES:
No hate speech
Be kind !
Charts posted should not have indicators on them.
I may or may not respond to you(r) question....it is not intentional....I just forget to do things sometimes.
I will offer some reasoning behind why I do what I do...but to be honest it is so simple that it borders on silly.

Last couple of days worth of closed trades.
Too many charts to post individually....so if you have a question about one of them....ask

Tuesdays action.

Still had several mistakes along the way, but that's trading.

If you remove money from the equation, you will be amazed at what you can see

So quite the week. At times I felt very comfortable and executed the trades like I had tomorrows newspaper. Other times, not so much.
As I replay each trade, I realize that when you stray, you end up lost in the forest.

I will be posting several charts with annotation on where the entry was and the exit.

NZDCAD long

I stumbled across this thread by chance, very interesting.

what exactly do you mean by "draw a line and go"?

i mean, does the line have any other property besides being horizontal?
