{quote} I never took your +20 felt as though the market was still in an uptrend and had not broken any strong support to the down side, felt it was too risky, that said it nicely recovered your day There were no real decent pullbacks today.
It was not an easy session - few have been in the last month or so... & no way I would have taken that short either just as new highs were breaking out.

Speaking of new all-time highs... I hope CG's not still holding that short from 160 ticks ago.... (these EW types have very strong convictions, you know...)...

(only kidding, CG, I just couldn't help myself...)

{quote} Thanks CG! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Div, I watched again one of your January videos. You mentioned shorting around the red encircled area since price is clearly in a downtrend during the time and this was the last pullback area. However, when price pulled back up, a 123 formed. I was wondering why you would still consider taking the short trade? {image} Regards, D
Hope to get some enlightenment on this..

Very tough 55 min session today - I scraped through with +4, but only because my Ninja charts were remarkably different to Harold's - in my favour - meaning I was able to scratch a couple of trades that were full losers for H. He traded on to recoup, so I hope Sierra had the short setup & entry around 5375.75 that I see just triggered the big sell-off 20 mins or so ago. Conversely, the opening session would have been fantastic for just trading 2B setups.

My current T Plan is for 55 mins only, so I did not trade on beyond 9.30 CT : I am already enjoying such a short trading day & the only bad day I have had was when I extended my day to try to recoup a loss and simply added two more.

I like the NQ, but there is just one element that is not so good : you get the same rt commission, just under $5, as a $10/tick contract like CL. This means that a b/e+1 nets to $0 & those commissions add up. I rewrote/simplified my T Plan on 8 Feb & I thought all my weeks since were winning, but the one with the most (over)trades was just negative due to commissions (I have NinjaTrader set to include $5 rt per contract traded)... nevertheless "The trend is up".

I really thank H for what he has so patiently shared here. This is a terrible thing to say, but the less-generous part of me would not mind the chatroom not working out and everyone goes away to trade in a different way...

I used the word "terrible" because I express an entirely selfish sentiment...

Hahaha, thats always in the back of my mind when considering sharing anything on this forum. Nothing wrong with a little self preservation, even if its a little illusory.

Well for this week, all the clear moves for this trading style have been happening after 10:30. Break even is wonderful during this cycle of a trading plan.

With help from Harold on when to enter and when I can determine my targets I think this method could be very good

Jtrade. I wouldn't worry about the success or failure of the room as if you are on Ninjatrader your entries / setups are likely to be very different, today being the perfect example.
Very nice trading though, making very good progress.
