Aliassmith Beats a "Dead Horse"

[aliassmith]

Dow As a comparison to the last chart.
This was a z-line entry
The stop was cheaper than the S&P 500
1 contract = $5 a pt.
230 pts. = $1150
6X return
Account size $18,500 plus.
Wonder if this is the case most of the time???????

The crazy returns the indexes are offering right now is awesome. A well place trade easily gets you 3x and if you are willing to hold up to 10x. Nice trade

Gold rips my heart out sometimes.
I'm in at a good price then it moves in my favor but then it stalls or dances around then goes to where I predicted

BTW, Mr HYDE that's one of the setups you were asking about.

[aliassmith]

Haha. Yeah, never thought i would get to the point were i would be risking .25% a trade. Sometimes push it up to 1.5%, but thats just me being greedy and stupid.

Quick question. Your concept you rolled out a while ago. The moving average and then the strong/weak bars for entry. What was the moving average set to and was there any other rules. Thanks!

No real rules its more of a bias.
It must be studied to learn some entry/exit tactics

Thanks. Yeah i remember it from when, i think when corna first hit. The single hardest thing for most new, if not all traders is bias. Entries and exits are say. I Like playing with ideas that offer a directional bias and i remember really liking what you had put out. Especially since it was a MA

Shhhhh don't say MA to loud someone might hear you!

Thats absolutely crazy. $3 stop on gold. You start picking the entries and stops and I'll pick the exits. 10x everyday for sure

When the market isn't moving, and I'm not tempted to place trades I'll review the charts.

I believe hindsight to be as valuable as watching a market unfold in front of your eyes.

As I normally do, I take an idea and study it, break it down.

For the most part through my anecdotal precise eye data I concluded the FVG isn't anything other than a variant of the 1,2,3.

For that matter the Z-line is also a variant 1,2,3

So now my brain electricity starts crackling and I wonder what we are really doing.

I'm fairly certain I'm trading 1,2,3 variants with a BIAS.

I'm trading from liquidity pools to liquidity pools (supply/demand)

I am using SMA as a microTrend

I am using structure concepts

Then there are the other 2 pieces of the puzzle, entries and exits or as some call it "Tactics"

Then that drifts into the Money Management aspect.

Oh, wait then you have to add psychology into it which could affect risk levels, theory vs. reality in execution, chart blindness, ego trips, etc.
(Tip: lower your lot size until your heart, breathing, and/or brain stops hurting)

In the end I'm sure you can just "wing it" and be successful.

Don't worry I have a 17 volume work study program I'll sell you for 2 easy payments of $2,500. CRAYONS NOT INCLUDED
(For the mentally challenged that is a joke)

So I discovered TRO is a secret undercover MA lover.
Why else would he make these indies?

A multimeter(up top) that shows which time frames have a green or red slope.
A slope change multicolor 20 SMA. (I lost my other indy. Finding this one by TRO was a shock)

I also have the Doji_Momentum_Barz and Average True Range

I don't need indicators but they can make it easier to visually identify things.

If anyone wants these indies they are in TRO's Motherload file.
The Doji_Momentum_Barz are attached
Average True Range is already in MT4

B, It's still good to see the encouragement for all here to keep it simple.

A bias and an entry method. All ya need.

Yes LEM it does.
I set it up for a 20 pt. risk
All the multimeter was red, red, red , red
I'll call that a BIAS.
(My fav trading method)

Bias is determined by HTF draws on Liquidity OR Rebalances.
Ask MO.

I guess you could look at it like near MA we going to seek liquidity, Ride the line.
Far away from MA and we are heading to Re-balance, Trade back to it.

Still comes back to Patterns, and break-outs of Patterns. MO

I found this funny in the ICT forum today;
He has been gone 14 days for his month long vacation.
He had to return to quell some dissidents and troublemakers talking smack. Acting like they were teaching something ICT hasn't. LOL
Homey claiming to make 100r a week, week in and week out.
He even had to mention that NOTHING he is teaching came from Joe Ross. heheehe
Guess who mentioned him.

I really don't think he likes when I talk about MightyOne either but keeps his replies generic.
I posted espips "Mother of God" chart in there too being sure to show the date of 2010.

I have claimed to invent nothing (well, except the Mightyzone which I full well know was here long before me and called many other things previously)
But, I sure as hel! know that one guy didn't invent EVERYTHING that is successful in trading. And that's a fact, jack.

Damn, see my previous post, market structure break IS a 123.
And the gap entries are a RH taken on the retest.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Guess that's why he replied today that he didn't take anything he has taught from JR, OR that "someone who is long since passed away and has no advantage in or over what I already taught you". ICT

He did have a point that "If you as my students have done the work, studied the topics and performed the drills I advised........." ICT
We'd all be a lot better off. LOL
