I had to chuckle when I read this... As I can relate to what he did.. Tom does his back testing by printing the charts marking them up by hand marking them up to on the screen but no software or EA's just one by one day by day session by session.

I do the same I have notebooks where I will write down the data I do all my calculations by hand I don't use Excel..
And I have spent many days crunching data from the charts on the screen to my notebooks and then realize that I forgot something.. .. so back I go through 5 years of 5 minute charts every day and gather the data that I missed or forgot about redo my notes and crunch the numbers again... Shit happens lol...

Cheers

From Tom Hougaard

OH GOD
I have to tell you this story.
So I have done a HUGE amount of testing. I have screenshot thousands of charts on my brokers charting package - testing for a hypothesis that I want to integrate in my trading. I must have used 200 maybe 300 hours in the last months on this.
Today I was looking at a chart, and I could not make out how it had gotten to look as it did. So I went back to the chart itself on the platform, and I compared it to my screen shot. They looked different. Sure the price was the same time at the extremes, but some candles were black when the other charts identical timeframe was white.
I could not figure out what the hell I was doing wrong. So I called customer service and then IT at the broker, and they could not help me.
Then by pure chance, I looked at the "display" on the chart, and I realised what had happened. It had switched to Heikin Ashi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, all my thousands of charts are all set to Heikin Ashi (not the charts I have posted here - its only my research project that is affected). I have wasted hundreds and hundreds of hours. I am a bit annoyed...
So now I wonder if there is a silver lining.. time will tell...
See you at the US open.

Very clean chart Swede. Textbook material.. not sure if anyone while I'm sure some of you do.. but to print off charts like Swede has put up and study them.. I find it easier to sit down in a comfy chair or wherever you can flip through your binders of charts and burn these setups into your head...

I like to think of it in some ways like driving a car.. through repetition you've ingrained into your subconscious so many things that you don't even think about when you drive but you perform the function nevertheless.

You want your process ingrained in you deeply.. until your subconscious is acting on autopilot as you look at the charts and you just see these things and react with because you've seen it so many times..

Whether I make sense or not who knows LOL... It's just simply my way of looking at things and the way I think which isn't right for everybody obviously..

All the best..

Two of my best trades in the LONDON session, today. The TPs look premature with hindsight, however, I am still working on my exit strategy.

A quick GJ Morning Lookback.

That Monthly PP "Attractor" Line at the top of the chart has been of major interest to some of the bigger players over the last week.
(maybe a hedge or institution, who knows, not me).

Still, whichever way we will see & approach our market, in the long run it still appears to me to be very well organised. Thankfully . Day after day.

Our eyes will usually SHOW us what & how imho the Larger Market moves Price around our Charts. (And don't ignore to always look left).
