You just proofed the point. Your arrogance and know it all attitude only shows who you are.

Unlike you , i am a longstanding member and my mouth is not bigger than my account.

In my books you are a rookie, and shouldn't be allowed to post anything other than your losses. You are way too outspoken for someone who joined this forum in 2010.

Your high number posts does not impress me at all.

What is your average TP amount? I get ancy looking at m1 TF. I'm trying to scope a m5 and m15. I got stung last week when it wouldn't follow typical patterns short term though.
we've seen a great deal of chop and stop running over the past few weeks, will be glad when it picks a direction and starts trending again...

I definitely see that. In being anxious to jump on a trend there were many times I have been stung when the pair wasn't clearly picking a direction. I also acknowledge that I am much newer than most of you. so I think half of that can be User Error!

look for false breaks of swing levels, think of the most obvious levels to find clusters, personally I use tick vol and look for abnormally high spikes on m1, but that is a whole different discussion and there are a number of people who will argue the validity of tick vol, but what can I say, it works for me... as with any type of method, it is still only based on probabilities, nothing is guaranteed to work 100%...

Therefore your primary focus needs to be on trade management (managing your position after you have entered) and of course on risk management, which is the number one factor that will determine how successful you are...

you need to identify the mood of the market, is it a range day or a trend day and then you need to tailor your trading style to suit the conditions...

I will say again, keep your risk small and manageable if you are learning... if you focus on developing trading skills, then the money will come later as a by-product of trading well..

Hope that helps...

I see a lot in tick movement. Before I enter a trade, I see what kinds of ticks there are. Sometimes I see a strong spike followed by a sharp drop back to the same level. To me this indicates a strong resistance, and if it isn't followed about 20 seconds later by riding up slowly or regularly, it seems to hint to an entry for a short.

I personally like ticks, But I'm open to everything. I load up bollingers for most of my trades and watch for them peaking out of them. on m5 and m15 I've been successful with that along with verifying indicators.

I want to try out this m1 TF.

It definitely helps. That is something I can work on, the mood of the market. I have not been paying attention to the trends as much, and I've been using a ranging strategy, which meant going against the grain of a trend, and not acknowledging key levels where the retracement was over.

I will look at indis on higher time frames, but I don't use them for entry criteria, after all they are just lagging pa, so why not use pa itself...

we're all individuals tho' and if something works for you then stick with it... also you must develop your own strategy, which you will over time through trial and error, coming out with all the cliches here, but trading really is a marathon and not a sprint...

I hope people recognize the vastly different styles of posts from the so-called "experts" here.

On the one hand there are a few people here like PTL, Sissie, Hatch etc who post without fuss or drama. For the most part their posts are informative and good reading. They don't seek adoration or post self-congratulatory notes. They don't abuse others and generally are good citizens of the FF community.

On the other hand, you have folks like Cloggie, Magix, Taranuntla and manic like Redsword who went truly mental this weekend and last week too....

Ranging strategy is 70% sucess if applied correctly. Counter trends can work out as a charm. Put fibs and TLs. It will help u a lot.

Yup. haha. We can never regurgitate this information enough though, IMO. Keep pounding it into peoples heads... eventually a few catch on.

Mr. Pitbul And i am the most happy when I see that traders listen to advices we ( other good FF posters) provide.

I have been mentoring for some years and I enjoy when I see the smiles of happy traders. I have no interest in losing the money. All calls and trading strategies here are also my personal trades.
