Answer is b) so I had to recopy the template by hand. No biggie

On another note, I noticed that FH mentions the importance of keep a trading journal of all trades made. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how they keep theirs; what info do they seek to put in?

Squolus has a nifty indicator that I find usefull...

It displays all past trades .....

Kissa,

I like your idea of taking a screen shot of every trade...I could just store them on a dvd. Thanks for the idea!

There are now 3 overlapping CZ's in that same zone from my last post. It's become basically one giant CZ with just under 250 bars and a max height of just 55p. I'm definitely keeping an eye on this one...

Tricky market to trade. Waiting for a close above yesterdays high then look for a test of the 300. Still avoiding shorts but we will see.

Forgot to add the 60 min chart which shows clearer resistance around yesterdays high area.

No, he didn't sell at the top of a trend, he sold at the bottom of a CZ. Because to an SSBO trader trends don't matter, only price action does. While you are waiting for confirmation that trend has changed, joancb (and I) will have traded 3 or 4 CZ's by then -- and who's to say that your trend wasn't just temporary, and by the time you start feeling confident that Short is the new Long, it's back to Long again? So now you're 6 to 8 CZ's behind us. And so it goes.

SSBO cuts out the one dynamic that everyone gets wrong: the range-bound chart. After that it's simply following the price upon breakout, trend be damned.

So stop over thinking it, and just follow blindly like the rest of us.

I have to confess, having a new broker = new MT4 terminal, i was not all setup and did the, well for me the biggest mistake, instead of getting all my settings (that took me weeks to configure) for the indie transferred i stared with hand boxes that work great for me but opening new charts i plucked in some lagging indis started drawing curves and and what nots. Lost in EU and AU multiple times in a row, USDJPY did OK tho with 3 trades today pure SSBO.
Not lazy transferring settings just the PrimeXM distro seems to need some interesting multipliers for pairs that didint need them before.


Plugged in this indy an the truth came out, quit trading for the day.

I recommend the below indie, not on your charts you trade with but the charts you analyze after trading is done, the log charts.

chappy thanks for the link.
