That's a good question for Harold. I would have waited to see what price did. I would have had a buy limit at the 2b, until it had 2 closes over the the top one.

+9 I'd have been done if I hadn't chickened out too early. Now price has gone to shite & I'm bored (after looking at the screen for work 6 hours straight). Focus is shifting from entries to letting them go to target. Trouble is that is difficult with the YM.

Nice to see you guys making some gains on NQ, I'll be back to it when my purse allows

I found yesterday tricky. It's easy in hindsight, but in real time, I thought it was difficult at the top of that spike.

How do you handle this Harold, Ras, or anyone else? The blue line marks a long entry based on the pullback, but there is a 123 break (in the yellow ellipsis) before it hits the entry. Does the 123 cancel the long entry? there was never a short entry off of the 123break (no a second low). Is this just a missed trade based on the rules and setups ?

you take the pullback you would still need 2 closes below the 123

That helps Harold. The trade isn't invalidated until the second lower close.

emmanuel7788, glad I wasn't the only one wondering.

It's a bit outside the scope of this strategy. I'll message you so as not to clutter things up. What Harold is doing these days is awesome.

This thread has gone it's course I guess. A quick update from everyone on their progress before we all sign off? I'm struggling a bit. I think I'm overcomplicating it. I know I am.

How is everyone else getting along? Still using same strategies?

Still trading NQ based off of Cumulative Delta. Slowly trying to take it to the next level so I might be moving to NYC to join a prop firm.

I'm convinced there is an endless amount of strategies to gain and edge. You just have to stick with it long enough to become a "PhD student" to understand all the ins and outs. Price movement almost is never 50/50. Keep an excel file/journal that's detailed as possible and tweak it from there. PM me any time. Good Luck!

Small losses for me, some good days but then irritating losses that make the month flat. Don't feel like I'm struggling, just not making progress. But I'm not done & will return to posting here when I think I've figured it out.

I have learned that my issue is psychological (fear of losing capital). I can trade in sim with a small stop & clean up. Can't focus properly after 90 minutes. I cannot trade with moving averages without bigger stops. Trend lines & bars are where it is at if you are treading close to the wire, I believe.

You are right about the over complicating Cap, it is really easy to get into that mindset. Trouble is, when you are trading around with a 40 tick stop...

What Harold is doing has merit, I firmly believe there is a way of framing that. Would be interested in seeing how Ras was doing.

I won't move to another thread because I don't want to dilute what I have gained so far. There is no magic bullet, you just have to figure it out with PA.

Don't forget August is notoriously a crap month, I've had all manner of slippage on the YM.
