Hi Stev
I want to clear some points from your trading style.
1. are you confirming trend with higher time frame like 1 hr / 4 hrs when taking these trades.
2. confirming with support and resistance zones or trendlines since i have not seen any zones/trendline on your charts
3. Confirming with volume /market profile
4. confirming with 1m / 5m/ 15m chart since i have observed that you used to trade with such low time frame also e.g.1 minutes. kindly through some light which time frame is better 5m/ 15m.
thanks

Hi Vijay
1. Yes
2. Yes using pivots, ADR and Price action to confirm S&R zones (i also use 2 other pivot programs to help confirm)
3. No
4. I trade mostly 15m but look at 1hr and 4hr to give me perspective.

I've been doing this over 20 years so its all become instinctive and automatic, i dont really think about it any more so there are probably other factors that go into the decision making but in all fairness i know within seconds if i should pull the trigger or not. Its nothing magical, its like any other skill in life, repetition, repetition, repetition if you over think this game it will defeat you, most traders look but they dont see! If i asked you "explain to me detail how you enter then drive a car" you could fill a book with theory that in reality has become automatic and you give little thought to, this is no different.

Yes stev you are spot on with all my queries and you are right. Since i am also using Pivot Prof. just to confirm which other 2 pivot programs you use for confirmation. This will be very useful for new traders like me.

Thanks again for replying.

Out of much respect for Maxdoom i will not post them on here as PivotProf is a good solid stand alone pivot indicator program. What i will say is check out Davit and Claudia1 posts on FF and you will find them. They are no better than PivotProf, i just use them for confirmation of what i already get from PivotProf
