Finished session now -done for the day.
Comment - had I drawn in Blues hourly box one hour prior to US Open ( 1:30pm instead of 2:30pm UK time) I would have got a roadmap long from the
( 2:30pm UK time )?
if hourly box down from US equity open ( 2:30pm UK time) I would have got in slightly later than I actually did - long - ( just levels and roadmap channel) an abortive short as price dropped through 50% Fibo line
( The trend was up -duh !)
Price then crossed up through 50% Fibo and everyone was happy.
I probably missed something that might have improved things but I seem to be happy with just channel and levels.....but I think putting in hourly box might add confluence and confidence ?
What you chaps think ?

Before I go - Here is the chart of my E/J demo experiment. Including a Bluesteele box
7am to 8am ( UK Time) hourly box plus 50% Fibo Line. Levels and channel.
The channel alone would have got me two duff trades before a reasonable long.
Similar to the hourly box which acted like a giant "Zeppelin" ( Timetells) would have broken and closed short ( 5minute) and given me a failed short BUT around 1341 hours ( UK time ) the box consolidation/Zeppelin would have given me a good Long.
Comment welcome please.

100% the futures 830 NYT open is a great time to trade... Liquidity (Fedwire) Ramps up bigtime... Quite often a reversal sets up between the futures open and Equity open...

So why not take advantage of them if that's part of your trading times.... The 1 hour box tho... I will keep at Equity open.

I think most importantly is being consistent with ones trading times... Certain setups in certain windows... Simple.repeatable actions.

With that said I think Laura's RoadMap is kickass... With some extra confluence levels (of all types) timing etc. It's simple and highly effective... At least 50% of my trades encompass RoadMap in one way or another..

Bottomline nothing always works as we all obviously know... And I believe it's human nature to tweak and look to improve...why? Because as humans it's in our DNA to forecast outcome of every situation we enter... And it's a constant battle within oneself to say I have enough,,,, I know enough ,,, just do it ...

All the best T !

The whole thing was sarcastic from the power out. That symbol is also a power symbol or close to it.

Expectation is a funnny thing. It tends to lead to losses in my experience.

In trading jargon,

MARKET ANALYSIS leads to a BIAS
BIAS leads to an EXPECTATION.

So, the root cause for your win/loss is your analysis. IMO.

I'm gonna try the highlight thingy. Haven't given it much of a go.
I expect a train to arrive at the station on time, not news volatility to go a certain direction.
The point is price moves rergardless of our analysis on the shorter horizon. That's all.
