NASDAQ Long

Likely getting stopped out here.

Not unhappy with my Trade Setups.
I could have taken profits on my Long and be green for Today, but instead kept it.

This is a mental win for me.

Seems like today I am paying the Business fee(s) which are part of the Game.

I am happy that I have taken "good" losses by following my Plan.
Not losses by me being an idiot.


I am not stopped out yet though.. all there is left to wait for the Market to decide.
I have done my Part. I tossed my Coin.

Hey Cog, apologies for the off topic post, but Im looking for a Tradingview dashboard that you may have come across. Multiple currency pairs, Multiple time frames with MA crosses indicating trend (red or green) I want to set it up on a seperate TV account as a dashboard taking up the whole screen. I plan to run it on a tablet inedependant of my trading platforms so I can see at a glance whats happening across multiple pairs and time frames. Something like this, but able to take up the whole chart.

You would need to put the same Script several times on the Chart. Tradingview has limits of how many securities you can put on the Chart at the same time.

fair enough, the size (larger) is so i can maximise the screen space, since that will be all i have on that screen. If I need 3 or 4 instances of the indi to get the required number of pairs then i would like them as large as pssible to maximise the screen.

I have made this on for MT4 in several different methods. What will be your strategy using it? Watching pairs with all one colour? Is it for a very small timeframe?
MetaTrader 4 - so many advantages.

I dont use Mt4. Ideally i want to be able to quickly see trends based on MA crosses over a range of time frames. Yes i would be looking at higher time frames one color , lowest about to change. If im looking for scalps then m2 M5 m15 m30 if longer then M30 H1 H4 D1 W1. It would be an initial tool/filter to then decide to look at a pair more closely and apply a time frame relevant strategy. Just a time saver really.
With the way markets are at the moment, without long term trends,im constantly looking for any pair i can squeeze 15 to 20 pips out of in a short time period.Many smaller short term trades vs fewer larger longer term.
15 pips in the same direction as the higher time frame trend comes quicker than a swing trade.

Been thinking about adding a MTF type analysis to my strat. Haven't yet, I did do a center line that's colored coded based on a higher time frame. I enjoyed coding it more so than using it though lol
