not much time recently to post trades, but wanted to post some today

 

edited to add a few hours later:

as you can see my eu went to profit, in fact i extended the profit a bit. was worried there for a while, had locked in 1 to 1  and it started fire off to the down side on the faster level, but i learned my leasson yesterday and just waited it out, either 1 to 1 or about 3 to 1 and this time it paid off. but yeah at the time i entered it didnt look as tidy as the sp500. anyway nice day, 1 small loss 1 medium win and 1 great win.

** Register Here for Free Membership to see this image/link **

 

without a stop loss 90% of the trades would work out in the end lol.  but the 1 trade that doesnt will bust the account. so the grind goes on...

Wanted to share this regarding the development of trade probability calculator. 

I have made several versions of the file, but I keep updating.  It is in the developmental stage.  I want to speak with Theo about it before I release the file.  Calculating probability could be a way of reaffirming if your entry is valid.  Another idea, the higher the probability, the more money you should risk.  

Interesting part is that the 70% prob. + trades have been non-existent lately.  And my trading has been hit and miss lately too. When you step back and view the longer term picture, we have been semi range bound on multiple levels for almost every equity.  This may explain the mixed results, because when the daily trend is strong and aligned with the M8 trend, trading with this is very powerful.  But we all get lost at times in the smaller time frame entries.

My idea is that we could somehow program things so that a probability long/short trade window is continually displayed with a recommended lot size.  Theo mentioned that everything had to be programmed on one chart.  What we need it a way to count M8 waves, and Long term, mid term, and immediate term trends/supt/res.  And collect all of those values on one chart to be factored in with brown or black line entries.  I believe this would be great for alerts and for an auto trader.

With this you could program the software to alert you only when the trade is 72% or higher etc...short or long.  It could also help determine if you want to manually enter a trade.  For instance even if  a  brown and black line entry surfaces, if the waves are against you, and trends are conflicting, the probability window could help prevent a loss.

Just some ideas.  I am also waiting for the time (DLST) to adjust so I can have focused trading time instead of my current 10 minute spot check BS.
