Avery, we have emailed.
I wished to drop a question or two, as I only like to trade one to two methods with specific entries. I have been spinning my wheels the last few weeks (not really going anywhere - up or down)
EJ is a bread and butter daily and weekly wickzone trade - looking for +5 - the only problem is, with a +5 goal you need a rather large stop for wiggle room - say 20 pips. So, if you want to get even a single % out of the +5 you need to risk 4%. You could win all week and lose everything on the last day.
Trading IS easy - but at the same time it is rather complicated.
I know how to follow precise directions, and need a game plan the entire way. If this happens, do this, and then if this happens, do this next. ect.
Questions / correct me if I am wrong for EJ daily break / other questions-
1. Most of the time EJ will break during the London (and I am fast asleep). I tend to leave the trade set up with the weekly and previous day bias with a 1:1 risk reward ratio (20 and 20). So for tomorrow I have said trade set up LONG at the extreme of yesterday with a 1:1 R:R(20 pip TP and 20 pip SL) and I have a BE+2 set for +5 pips profit, a partial close at +10, and a trailing stop set at +15.
2. I risk 2% with a 20 pip stop and will not enter if the daily range is not normal when I set the trades up (post tokyo) pre london
3. This sounds like a solid plan - but in reality is it really? Can I really do this for a career only taking one trade a day?
4. Whiplash with counters can be devastating. Countering the other side of the Wickzone with a 200% counter - increasing risk to 4% - works in theory but if that fails your up a creek ( and it doesn't smell good)
Feeling lost, and a bit directionless. My brain swarms with trading information - but I feel as though I have no plan - I cannot make a business out of this without a plan. There are many ways to trade and I find most of them to be same.
5. Would you be willing to share a solid plan - something that I can focus 100% of my attention on - I am a US trader and wish to trade the New York (i am tired of waking up at 2 am for the london) Point me in the right direction (method to trade for the New York, simple entry simple exit plan with % risk?) I am open to anything - I know I have the mojo for this - just need a senpai to guide me. I have watched your videos, but am having trouble putting something solid together. There are SOOOO many methods - I just need one mehtod on one pair, one-three entries a day with a step by step strategy.
My brain is so scattered these days - none of this probably makes sense ( engineering courses for you). I pulled in nice gains trading wickzones on a bunch of pairs - but quickly saw that they can be taken away without changing any variables in a method.
Thank you in advance,
A troubled aspiring professional trader looking for direction.
