I have been trying to add the account I am using for my scalps to the trade explorer on FF but I'm having some technical difficulty. The good folks in the FF technical dept are working diligently to solve the issue.
In the mean time, this is what I bagged today so far.

Price is trading in my in-decision zone with the artificial [email protected] artificial lows have started on my chart my sentiment is to buy...if price dips back to the low (demand zone) I will wait for it to stop and enter again.....one entry per zone reached leaving the in-decision zone as neutral

Since late December I've been looking for and testing different strategies.
I started trading this particular one in a live account yesterday, but I did test it in a demo all of last week first.

The best part is that I probably would not have even entertained it had it not been for all the great contributions to this thread
To all of you who have contributed excellent material and helped encourage me to wander outside of my comfort zone, I salute you.
... especially you Buma

i wish i shorted at the white vertical dotted line i drew.
where the fanlines intersect is a division of time. amazing how it works right?
anyone got in? it was some news about spain from fundies perspective
i keep wondering - how does price reflect news and how do i time the market? i still wonder till today - how on earth does it work? drawing cycles and bar coutns and this and that - it stil mesmerizes me
one thing for sure - it works.

Be great to keep seeing your results. I have noticed a lot of experienced traders moving into scalping.
Haha, he has come over to the dark side

Yep I'm scalping.

the secret to 'scalping' for me is to actually look at higher timeframe status and positions of price (and time) and use lower timeframes for trigger entry. if the lower timeframe matches and makes confluence you take your trade - if for some reason after a period of holding the trade it doesn't work out - you take profits - it becoems a scalp instead of a swing trade.
its letting the seeds grow that lets me profit from small trades - into big profiters.
that is the swing trade using small timeframe trigger
scalping to me is more of trading retracements or small waves and taking profits fast.
And one thing that needs differing from a scalping mindset and a swing trading mindset is that - scalpers tend to TP once momentum is finished or retraces on their end aka a corrective wave. just make sure risk is below possible reward. thats what matters in the end.
crude does make a nice move south and hits my target. i posted my entries yesterday if any of u remember.
made coupla hundred pips on multi-entry shorts.
and i got the target right for once lol
