As an aside, #3 is basically what I did all arvo on UC. 22 trades from 13:06 to final close at 19:25 uk time.
Holy hell batman! 22 trades. How long you been trading? Im guessing a while and Im guessing you have had exposure to the institutional side of things to. You don't strike me as someone who has just been on the retail side of things for his trading career.
Lol. Yeah, it's been a while. Let me think...hell, let's just round it up to 20 years, it's close enough.
My brother spotted it early but after a quick look, I bailed on it as I didn't have a scooby. Went into the nice, steady, world of film-making, ha ha.
I had to find my own way back and when I did, I ended up working for his Prop Fund. Specialised in very long tf set-ups that actually due to the fractal nature of the markets, were pretty close to the principles behind HOLO.
All of that meant that I could indulge in all sorts of good stuff and eventually I was capable and more importantly confident enough to go out on my own. That was maybe 10 or 12 years ago. Never looked back. However, I have Avery via TooSlow to thank for my conversion to true Alien Technology. Avery's methodology of See-Line-Trade-Line meshed perfectly with my style of trading. I have never been the same since my abduction
As for the 22 trades, that isn't actually a typical day. It was a very specific situation and set of circumstances. Reading my stuff, you'll know that I have my stable of methods that fill specific time-slots in the day. I will however still go freelance once in a while like that just to keep my hand in, or if I see a perfect set-up just sitting there begging to be plundered.
I never post statements or whatever but in this one case, it may be useful to see the way the stream played out. I have also cropped out the actual monetary gains as that is not what this is about. I do not want this to come across as bragging in any way shape or form.
You will notice that there are trades in both directions as mentioned elsewhere on the discussion about scalping the micro-S+D Zones.

As an aside, one of the things I will do which helps with grooving your scalping method, is to take a demo trade in some random direction - doesn't matter which - and just let it go bad in a big way. Then scalp it back into positive territory. My record is £20G so far, lol. Now I'm not talking about just blindly firing off trades on the off chance things will go your way but sticking totally to your method and keeping calm, focused and on-point.
I also spent time as a pro Football Placekicker and then sport-climber and what they all have in common is precise and focused practice. No wasted energy or distraction. Mental toughness. Work toward one end. Rep, rep and rep some more.
