{quote} YES! Because as I said earlier in post #9665: "There is nothing wrong with where you entered, however, I always enter just below the low of the 2nd red candle back starting from the right side of your chart. I see it all the time where if you "jump the gun" you can end up losing a trade that technically (based on my own rules) you should not have ever been in, or you have to needlessly endure some pain as the trade goes against you some" And here's exactly what I was talking about when I made that statement: {image}

{quote} Wow talk about perfect timing. You inadvertently answered a question I didn't even know I needed to ask. I was pondering entrances and as you said to a T, I get in my trade immediately at that incorrect time/spot and I suffer through a 20pip draw down and yeah... Hard to muscle through without saying the trade went the wrong way. This is crucial. Thank you as well! I'm trying to have a set of rules to follow. Yes you have laid out methods and rules throughout this gigantic post and I need to have them beside me. It's so easy to "understand...

{quote} You're welcome. One thing that I WISH that I could impart upon others here is this: Trading successfully is so much more than than just following a bunch of indicators. It's about at least a dozen of other things that are equally important. "Once you know, you know". I am not trying to be mysterious here, I am just trying to make an important point about what it takes to consistently trade successfully. Like Michael Jordan isn't Michael Jordan because he has mastered just one great move.

{quote} You're making me wanna switch to Tradingview At what point with these demos and scorecards do you feel you will switch to a live account? I jump the gun to early... Always. I like to "demo" with a 100$ account and see what I can do with it. That's my testing... I'm sure not everyone feels that way.. just the way I enjoy to do it. The times I've swapped from demo to live it's always just a completely different feeling... When I demo with a small account, I still get that real life feeling. And if I lose I lose...

{quote} I do trade a real account. I am using demo trades to test different entry and exit models. But the core strategy is still what RH has on post 1. I re-iterate, the scorecard is not to show "I am winning", it is more a journal for me. I can use the charts from the initial few posts and can evaluate how I took trades at the start of the year and how far I have come around the close of 2025 and what methods work/dont work, what entry/exit methods work/dont work etc. I plan to stick to this strategy (one single strategy) for all of 2025.
