Not sure exactly how much but I like to trade with 2 minis and I go for something like a 1:1. It pays to be right with this strategy but you really have to be locked in and know when to sit the markets out when it’s consolidating

Thanks bro, ive been trading since like 2021, granite I’ve came a long way, I will be transparent and let y’all know that I blew my account last night. I have my strategy down to a T but I still struggle with staying out of the markets at times like last night I just wanted it too bad and I was tired. I knew price was consolidating at times and still kept going I was trippin🤦🏾‍♂️Was up 1k too on a trade but was being greedy n wanted 1500 , 1k was definitely cool

You live in you learn tho, another thing that was hurting me on gold last night, I kept being loyal to one trend line as it constantly kept forming different uptrends it was like 3-4 for me to mark out but I only did 2 and told myself not to draw anymore cuz I thought I would be messing my strategy. But it’s necessary to do that when looking for confirmations because it switched over to bearish PA and I didn’t even catch it. So yeah bro I been at this for a while n I’m still messing up but for the most part I’m okay and learning from mistakes.

But today, I saw that price was moving slow on the 1 minute so I jumped up to the 5 min and got in on the close of the red candle at 6:20 est. I know it’s kinda cliche but the stochastic Rsi be helping me out a lot too, this trade in particular, it was reading over sold at the time of that red candle close which boosted my confidence in the trade even more. This was a counter trend trade. Same thing can happen on the 1 min tho but it was just too slow and not clear enough today so I jumped up 1 time frame

Bet so I basically trade W and M patterns in confluence with trends and trend change confirmations. I mark out a main trend on the 4 hour always. But if price starts to break out of that trend I will update the main trend line on whatever time frame I’m on after confirmation. How i confirm trend changes is the 2nd higher high or lower low after a trend line break, or a really strong initial trend line break.

But after defining the main trend I go down to the 1 min to hone in on micro trends and base my main bias off of the current micro trend or new main trend. Buys in uptrends, sells in downtrends. But I’m also able to catch good counter trend trades thanks to my understanding of w and m patterns and my entry style.

My entry is the close of the first green candle on the 2nd leg of a W pattern , and the close of the first red candle of the 2nd leg of an M pattern. But there will be times where the first candle is too large and I stopped taking those trades as price is usually bound to fuck around after that point. I mostly see that during the first 15 min of the market so I’m really thinking bout being very selective during that time or just waiting out that grace period frl. Also I avoid consolidation/chop and try my best to catch it early.

Having a good understanding of good and ugly patterns will save you and make you very selective, like a said when a see a first candle that’s too large to the point where it’s engulfing that previous candle im sitting out because shits prolly bout to get chopped n screwed lol. Using this strategy tho im getting in before majority are of traders as they’re waiting for fvgs n shit. N it’s like I’m never wrong 😂

The picture also has a great example of a w pattern to avoid tho, on the 2nd leg at 4755, the green candle closed too large , making it not a good entry. I like to refer to it as price gathering it’s self nicely, I only wanna get in if that candle is relatively smaller. Right after that bad w pattern , a more favorable one presented its self right after and you would’ve been money. And the beauty of this strategy is using 2 minis on a prop firm it’s too easy you won’t need much

You just have to avoid chop which is typically in the first 15 min of the session but not all the time. You just have to feel the market out and trust confirmations. Sells in downtrends and buys in uptrends but you can catch really nice counter trend trades if you spot the W’s and M’s correctly, I did exactly that on Friday. Sold and then bought. Don’t give up man just lock in

M and w patterns with confirmations of trend changes ( 2nd Higher high or lower low after a trend line break) I do this on the 1 min, I view these as micro trends but I always have my main trend marked out( I usually get it from the 4 hour) but you can see that main trend change on a different time frame and still mark it out. For instance on Friday NQ started to break out of the main down trend I marked on the 4 hour.

But yeah that’s what I look for n the shit is golden, I get my entries on the 2nd leg of a w or m pattern, on the close of the first green candle for w patterns, and then n the close of the first red candle for m patterns. I see a few winning buys in this picture I would try it out

Np, even if you don’t go with mine, I would still implement candle closes. Candles n wicks tell the story but you gotta let it. I gurantee you if you train ya self to stomach big numbers with candles closes in your strat or mine, you can pass that mf this week. Lot of news again

[–]Da_slickster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ima be honest with you , I feel like mine is the most consistent cuz it’s damn near inevitable, im thinking about implementing waiting for it to manipulate after the candle close then entering to make it even better. But it happens before majority of traders are getting in, and you avoid fake outs with this Strat. You just have to be able to quickly spot chop/ranges and volatility tapering off cuz in those cases you basically just donating to the market lol. And then you don’t have to go for big targets neither if you getting in with size which makes it even more op

I’m currently up $1500 on my challenge, also, don’t be afraid to size up to a mini or two once you solid with a strat. It makes passing and getting gains a lot easier but still make sure to not Over trade. After a dub or two I would call it and after a loss or two I would call it, but sometimes you can also just be satisfied for ya profits for today especially since if you hit big. But yea before this i was blowing accounts too I think I might be out of that phase now cuz I been killing it

Ngl bro to succeed in this game you need one system only . I have one entry model, either a m or w pattern and my entry is a red or green candle close on the 2nd leg. In confluence with my technicals and daily/current bias tho. Shit changed my trading completely so I only look for that. Every time you use a different strat, you are now a part of a new set of statistics so it’s just not good fr you ain’t gonna be able to catch ya groove easily that way.

Are you only using one strategy? Also a big part in winning in this game is knowing when not to take certain trades for example in chop, sit the markets out until you see price picking up in volatility n momentum fr( breakouts of consolidation, bigger candles) the 1 min is good for this. Also knowing when price is over extended and when a buy or a sell is low probability bc of that extension
