make sure where it says file and data service that your time is set to ny and data storage says 1 tick and not 1 second

Just changed it to 1 tick, but don't know what it does.
End result -4 ticks.. bailed from a short entry at 58.28 -4 ticks - then didn't enter at the end when I saw the signal develop.

I was thinking today, that strategy 1, the 10 R could be used, to develop a stake for the 18R, if it happens..just a though.

Hi guys,

How can a trader prevent himself from entering at the end of a trend. Some trends are small and some trend are big. How can this be identified before entering a trade?
