    You don't have a plan, man. You have been proselytizing Al Books for years.

    What happened was I was responding to padu but responded to him in your post by accident and deleted it quickly.

    The board software had sent you response pop-ups and blah, Just a mix-up is all.

    one plan is like boxing with one hand tied

    Sweet journal bro, and I made it to page 20 and had to share with you an epiphany I had.

    It seems you are looking at just one timeframe.

    Something that helped me was to look at two or three.

    Many times the same patterns appear on different time frames.

    However, they behave differently because different market participants cause them.

    If you triangulate your setups it may give you a little more depth perception.

    Because we all know cats eyes get real big right before they make a kill!

    You give that clown way too much credit.

    Clown. If he signed up for an ET account he should choose the handle "clown trader"



    Clown. "Special situation like this."

    Send him money. Buy his book. Join his "trading room."

    but you are right
    i do not have a defined plan which is necessary.

    i trade by the seat of my pants ...that works well until it does not.

    started working on arranging my thoughts /knowledge into a defined plan and planning to have many plans depending on what the market does.

    i am following Brooks in that sense and am recommending him in that sense

    Padu, do you think you're going to get somewhere by just quoting other traders all the time? I mean we might as well write all your favorite quotes on strips of paper, toss them in a hat, and then randomly pull one out and use it in a post.

    You quote others, but you don't seem to want to do the work. Get a demo account on Thinkorswim. They let you have 180 days of 5 minute chart data. Go bar by bar for each of those 180 trading days. That's real work.

    Going on this forum, posting trading platitudes at random, and charts with near random trendlines is not.
