Shermenator - One quick question, as you typically only have a single line on your charts, are you looking for potential trades "on the fly" based upon S&R or do you have a historical reference of values that you cross reference to? Just curious, as most charts posted here tend to have several different S&R lines marked, but you seem to only have one (and with quite a track record I must add).

Please advise on how you're typically devising your levels, as the one you just posted can be seen on the 1 HR chart, so not sure if you had some other historical points that validated that, or any confluence factors.

Thanks.

So in this case did you wait for price to go below your entry and then when it reacted and came back up, entered the trade?

Just trying to understand how some of the guys showing success operate, so I can try to incorporate their habits into my own trading :-)

From what I can tell, the majority of Shermenator's trades are the Sam Seiden supply/demand type (areas where price consolidates for awhile before blasting off) rather than the BRV NBT repeated support/resistance type (multiple bounces over time).

Well I am actually a stop hunter, meaning I am always trying to do the oppossite of retail . As well as I know when the market makers are running after stops so I attempt to trade like them . I can tell when the probabilties increase that they are done doing so, so once my experience indicates they are done stop hunting I trade in the direction of the real move that is trying to come ....I loose trades as well so by no means I am trying to sound like the best lol I just know when the stakes are high for me to enter the market and I fallow my plan.

Sherms trades are both SS and BRV/NBT but with a market makers philosophy behind them.

The EurUsd buy trade he took today didn't consolidate at all.

Just for the record and the benefit of the new newbies, having heard rumours of the US bank problems, I made some pips this morning and decided to step aside at 3pm GMT.

Tempting though these big moves look, it's like playing chicken with express trains.

Normal service will be resumed next week.

Maybe

Hi Paul

I make an effort to update the blog regularly and will continue to do so. My primary focus is to my trading and FM clients, so time is limiting. I have been traveling a lot the past couple years, but i'm at my office for the next few months and most of this year, which is nice. So, i should have more time to submit blogs. I hope u gain some value from the information. You will be emailed when posted. I"m also considering starting a thread and submitting the info here at FF. FF is a great place to learn, explore and educate.

I wish you all good luck with your trading.
You are what you do, trade with discipline. Chris Lori, CTA

Nice work! Thanks for sharing the images as well....these are some of my favorite setups to take also. I use macd and stoch's as well, but mostly shoot for the small scalps on 1 or 5 min charts. Either way, great trade!
