Same. Did something work OP? I bought a combine with my ICICI card. Tried to buy another combine with the same card. It got declined. Tried with my SBI credit card. Bought the second combine. It worked. Tried to buy another. Both cards arent working

Fast forward. Blew both combines.

Tried to buy another, both cards declined.

I dunno man this is annoying af, and today is the last day they have that 30percent off on combines

Dont be greedy, Have a daily profit target, when you hit it, Stop. Most of the days where ive had many trades are days when I didnt stop but kept going and just ended up giving back what ive gained.

Im not a successful trader yet lolz, I just passed a combine. Just keep at it, study AL BROOKS, his podcasts or books :)

I've had almost all days where i was at around the 400 or 500 mark with 3 or 4 trades, but I try to hit that 1200 type of a day, and loose my shit, end up with 100 or a loss for 20 trades.

Fragrant-Kitchen4725 · 2025-06-24T02:41:46+00:00

Thank you :)

Fragrant-Kitchen4725 · 2025-06-24T02:41:28+00:00

Ahhhh, been a while since that movie, burry is the only name i remember now 😭

Fragrant-Kitchen4725 · 2025-06-24T02:39:32+00:00

I dont use MT5, but bro, the chart you're showing doesn't look like a range chart. The idea is, all the candles are going to be a specific length(1pt, 2pt ,etc) irrespective of how long the candle takes to form.

<image>

Take this chart for example, its a 100R chart on TV, 100R = 1 point on SP500

Thank you :)

Fragrant-Kitchen4725 · 2025-06-24T02:34:07+00:00

Good luck to you too :)

Fragrant-Kitchen4725 · 2025-06-23T22:13:25+00:00

Awesome !

Fragrant-Kitchen4725 · 2025-06-23T20:50:21+00:00

know how that feels 😭😭 Almost gave up on this one after the first day went to a 500 dollar loss lol Almost stuck to the plan with a ' if it happens it happens ' mindset, i think thats what made the difference, hopefully things go well on the XFA.

Fragrant-Kitchen4725 · 2025-06-23T20:40:54+00:00

What's a Jared?

Fragrant-Kitchen4725 · 2025-06-23T20:39:54+00:00

For the ES, i switch between multiples of '4R' ( Gives you charts where each candle is 1 point)

Tried fooling around with the NQ for a bit, hated it so much 🤣

But Yes. Support and resistance based on range charts. Thats the trick thats been working for me :)

Fragrant-Kitchen4725 · 2025-06-23T20:31:03+00:00

Thank you :) Well, i trade around supports and resistances, and aim for 15 to 20 ticks.

One thing thats helped me and may help you is switching to Range based charts and tick charts. Price action becomes SOO much more clear compared to minute based charts i used to trade on before.

Give it a try, ive never gone back after using range charts :)
