BB my friend,

Pay no worry, the work you do is outstanding. Its a path on your voyage, and is and was very simular to mine. I have reached my destination, AND YOU WILL TOO! Anything stated here on the forum cant and wont change that. I dont know if the ones that "mock" by your words, are profitable or not, nor does it matter to me. Im here to try to help you, in my way, in hopes you will understand and become profitable some day. Nothing else matters. If it wasnt for others like me, with there own way of explaining, and giving there time, I would not be where I am today. Thats enough said by me on this, Im still here to learn also, the day we stop learning is the day we start failing.

Keeping in mind, im not trying to change the direction of my thread, but I want to make a point. It seems to me, a lot of the zline, momo, mbar traders have a great grasp on the entry. They can spot entries pretty easily and have a idea of where a stop and tp should or could be placed. I see the problem as being the higher time frame analysis for a bias.
Not having a understanding of a way to as when it could end, when it has reversed, plain and simple.

I know, nobody knows direction, and how fast or far the market will move.
Im not talking about that. Im talking about an edge. A simple bias edge.

This is one example I want to post. Yes, its using an indicator, bust my chops, I can take it. Its not one I use, BUT im trying to show it can be done for a bias. Keep opinions till the end of the next 2 post...Then fire away....all that matters to me is im making money, and able to maybe help others that cant see the bias as mainly Dragon does.

Lets start.....simple....the indi, reflects 4 times or more the length of my time frame entry. example if time frame is 15 min...use a minimum of 1 hr(15x4) as a bias.

Simple rule, (can be any rule you want) but in this case, below the 80 from above take shorts. Above the 20 from below take longs.

This is only my BIAS

doji,

Thanks for the charts and analysis. Very helpful. What is the indicator you're using to signal your bias?

Regards,
Ric
