EDIT: Good luck.

{quote} Certainly wouldn't complain about that, Hutch, and well done. I caught one or two trades on the upside myself. What a disaster re the Precious one, that particular Metal, just terrible. Go Oil and the China Virus recovery!
Well done. I hate the break even trades because we all lose a little. I will try to avoid them by introducing a filter when I have time. I was thinking of a 200 EMA but I'm not sure if this works well with Renko 10 bricks charts.

Just a quick reminder....
No matter what strategy used in trading. The key to success is proper money management. The markets are filled with noise/erratic moves no matter the instrument you trade. One can view this noise as deliberate manipulation or just the market doing it’s thing, either way if you are trading too big relative to your accounts equity, eventually you will lose everything. The only way to counteract this is to place trades that are so small relative to ur account size that your wins or losses are inconsequential. Your account size should grow over time and it should be a long tedious process. This is the number one problem for most retail traders. Their account size isn’t large enough to make meaning full gains and they get impatient. For example someone with a $10k account ideally should be happy making 1% gains on a weekly basis, but who wants to sit in front of a computer for an entire week and only make $100. Whereas an account with 100k would be making $1000 per week. Not earth shattering gains but something you can pay bills with and put you in a better position to build that account to a position where ur gains are significant. $500k (@1% weekly gains) would net you $5k per week without having to take trades that can hurt you on a daily basis.

Market noise kills over leveraged traders, being able to not be affected by noise on a emotional level and in terms of potential losses is the key. If u entered a long trade and the market immediately dropped putting you $ 1000 in the red you would not freak out (with a $500k account) the way you would with a $5k account, you would actually be in a much better position to either ride it out, manage the trade with hedging strategies etc or just take the small loss.

WTI went down $1.41 today with a high ATR that produced 7 winning trades and 2 break even trades not counting the last signal. For the more adventurous traders the continuation trade from Friday would have been the best trade of the day.

I'm currently watching WTI and I decided to try buying the pullback accordingly to my trading plan.
I think this should go well as long as 70 doesn't break.
Winter is coming as well and heard that it's going to be a lot colder this year so demand should continue to stay high, and of course many other reasons too.
Anyone has any view to share?

WTI remains strong, amidst 'The Bears are in control' 2 days ago. I wouldn't run from it, let alone short it. Holding up pretty well. : ) 71.64 as I type.
EDIT Always a bit late, by a few mins, but has cracked 71.67 on the upside, could revisit who knows? Looks a + for me. 71.82 atm MID.

Even if this 4hr candle closes beyond 71.50, which will happen after 1hr 20min according to GMT+4 i bet there has to be a retest..because its based on my trading facts, i will be in long, but the market market situation is something else, why do i notice a consolidation? Anyone here to agree with me??

Don't forget most of the facilities in the Mexican gulf are coming back online, China is auctioning its oil on Friday and Biden ordered to tap into their national oil reserves in order to maintain normal prices. I'm expecting oil to hit 65 again

not sure what you are talking about. i was short yesterday and wti dipped below $70 it then bounced and started to rally. i simply stated if support holds then i am getting out (i would run like hell)

WTI went up $1.15 today with an above average ATR that produced 2 winning trades, 1 break even trade and 1 losing trade due to a false signal. Yesterday's trading was great with only a gain of 43¢ while today's gain of $1.15 produced a garbage trading day since most of the gains were from the continuation of the uptrend from yesterday.

Yeah all good man, I hope you made something out of it. No intention of denigrating your OP.

Hello Hutch. I'm trying to follow your system with the rules mentioned. However, I have a doubt regarding your exit. Can you please explain this a bit? Thank you for your system. I hope to be successful with it.
