Good stuff D. I was just looking back at my day which was horrific and I was definitely on tilt, but we both had very similar levels in play. I know our methods are different some too, but thinking about my mental state and morning routine/preparation and that's where I failed today. This is why I should've stayed out of the market today: 1- I went to bed late last night and woke up early and in a bad mood 2- Yelling at the kids this morning on the way to school because of #1 above which didn't put me in the right mind 3- Did not do my usual pre-market...

when we get that 20 tick consolidating period getting 20 up and 20 down then 20 up to these levels is quite rewarding and a little mindboggling also

Quoting The Cableguy
I find myself struggling to over-ride my overall EW view and yet when it lands, it can rack up a serious amount of points - mainly because once i recognise a move as being 'corrective' (abc) it means new highs (long) to follow (and then some). Obviously we have a very strong uptrend overall and have done for quite some time. How many times have i posted a fresh HH in the shape of a C&H on this thread? and then it goes on to do this; {image} The problem is getting the trade away with any degree of confidence to begin with. The first 'HH' marked in...
keep it up bro

After the losing trade I waited and was trying to take pullback but never triggered then after that 13 tick win wasn't going to go short since it wouldn't be 2 to 1 risk and since we have been above value all morning I only wanted a good buy signal

'Market Profile study is different from traditional technical analysis indicators. You need to unlearn lots of your so called traditional technical analysis learnings before diving deeper into it. Like any other technical analysis studies, Market Profile consumes lots of time in learning. It requires at-least a live observation for 3 months and parallel reading is needed to understand what other market players are trying to do and how the pro traders and institutional players are driving the market. As a human trader, it often happens that we tend to see what we want to see and react based on limited information. Market Profile solves this perceptual blindness to some extent.'

For someone who has years of Elliott Wave experience under his belt... how does that record go again?! 'It's gonna take a little time...'

What was i saying about EW view?! Combined with the reactions at the (small) HVN, i see an abc with 5w 'C' count, the 2b was a break of 'iv' and pullback. Perfect all bar a tick. Result was a +27 first of the week...

you know whats great about trade off these levels we have a load of different kinds of entries to engage market like 2b and 123 setups trading off the levels pullbacks ross hooks these levels give us context that no indicator can ever give these levels are when buyers and sellers come into the market

Looks like all 3 of us took a -10 long off at extreme... I didn't like it straight away, but it didn't give a chance for damage limitation.

Still experimenting with the management of the trade. That's the hardest part. Getting in seems to be easy. Today, I tried the following:

TP 20
SL 10
Move stops to BE: BE+1 after +6, BE+6 after +10
Trailing SL: After +13, trail by +5

I also have the 20 and 10 when up 15 to 16 stop moved to +10 I will move target if market conditions warrant it to next level but if you just left it at 20 you can make a living 2 to 1 risk with at least a 50% hit rate makes you a nice living I am doing better than 50%
