i did trade today but as it was ranging (killing field MO), it was too fast action to also post at same time and tbh i could be bothered as i have a lot going on atm, no bias just took what i saw both ways, waiting for Daily/Hourly to give a better clue atm, i marked this all as i went along and have not changed anything, you can see what i did if you have read FTI's thread and understand my MO, lost some but gained much more, we can not win every battle but one battle is not a war in itself, and i won the war today, here is my chart for anyone interested, atm i am very interested but let us see what tomorrow thinks of my entry that is already at B/E. it is not on the chart here, will post it tomorrow come what may of the trade, you may want to also peek in on my friend's dbrown's thread as he is also posting some good clues on FTI's teachings.

{quote} cheers my friend. had a bit of a bad run last week, mainly because i was trying to get in on this turn\retrace i could see coming too early, so lots of B/E trades, time is one big enemy to us and boy do 'they' know how to use it against us, but if you stick to the correct basic mindset and MO, it will not last and the the blistering blitzkrieg days will soon return, knowing yourself and your daily ability as is changes (and it happens to everyone) allows us to limit loses during bad runs for whatever reason be it bias or an issue with us...
sorry to hear that Phil, but it happens. try to look at some of the charts i post in my thread they might help you. if ever you wanna jump on zoom let me know

{quote} Unfortunately, its all a part of the game. The time thing ...I definitely see how they use it against us and also in their favor...Im sure it takes awhile for them to unwind positions while boring us to death waiting for the turn. I can see why you dont show these days very often because it can lead to unrealistic expectations and trading is definitely a hard job and those types of days ome after one gains the experience to do so safely. I had quite a few break even trades myself but no losses as I move my stops really quick now because...
Always look left
to see where liquidity will draw price to, it makes it so much easier to hold for bigger targets. look at the charts in my thread for examples

another day.. friday options day...
last week was last week is not and was no real damage just was not at my best trading wise, they can't all be winners.
Hi T
thank you, i will eventually catch up with you, as i say it is always interesting to see how others trade and see things, i suspect from reading some of your posts that we are doing something similar but just using different time frames and your preferred way is to hold a lot longer than me, i like to go to bed most nights with my book flat, but that is just me and what i prefer to do in trading. part of my problem is because i have some health issues i never know how i will feel tomorrow or if i will be up to trading even, but i will catch up with you this month, have family staying atm and when they are gone and it is quieter here i will defo jump on and have a good chat with you, you take care my friend and thanks for helping here.
EDIT... above trade stopped out with loss.
