Just an old chart from doji that I came across.



This is how I see it now, and the pattern that I'm mostly trying to trade, but it's there. I guess this was how my intellect could 'see' it easier maybe

Side question. Does anyone know if there's any way to keep the 20 period SMA off the M5 when going into an M1 chart? Sometimes I just need to go into the M1 but only to pinpoint a SL or to see how the candle moved. Edit: Workaround for now is placing 2 SMAs and changing the visualization to only sho...

And maybe zoom out a bit until I have a better idea where price is.

The same way I found the previous 'larger' range, it can be found in smaller swings which form the smaller patterns, and I could trade the tops or bottoms of the patterns in the direction of the bias until it has a significant break, and trade the continuation (in the direction of the bias) until it...

More learning today. It started like this. I saw a range going up, and followed the SMA. In some entries I was hesitant to take more than 1R, in one of them I got in late (it was too quick). In some I felt I my entries were near the top of the range. GU_08082022_1.png After the trades in that range ...

After Friday's session ended I started making my journal and reviewing all of my last week's trades. A few were bad entries (of which a few worked well and others didn't), and I saw that there were some weak trades as well. I also started a spreadsheet to measuring my 'pattern', the length of the le...

Does anyone know of a way to keep a trading journal? I know it's a very personal thing so I don't know if there is a specific tool, but I want to keep the track of all my trades, setups, how they worked out, outcome, potential R, etc. I guess it could be as simple as google sheets, but I also want t...

Yesterday I also have a very interesting day with a big bang. The first trade that I want to talk about is the 6R give or take and it produced roughly 35% (with 1% per pip risk). It was a trade taken with a mini ascending triangle pattern in mind for the completion. The other trade is the anchor tr...

And it kept going.

The length of the up swings were very similar too.
