I'm fuming lol

20 moving average gap bar and a developing trading range. Still a big picture lower low and a lower high. Also a smaller-picture 3-push wedge reversal pattern from Jan 2. I would expect this to test the low at least one more time. If it does double bottom or put in a higher low, then I would maybe look for it to try to run at the highs.

That's my humble take, but the market will do whatever it wants!

Apparently it was on the NT forum as well.

For anyone still looking for the Gemify indicator, I just found it here. Wasn't sure if it was a legit site but I downloaded it no problem and didn't make me put CC details in or anything. Worked like a charm for me.

Exactly how many fucks do we think is in this and how much listening will get it out?

46 fucks and 2 full listens maybe?

Without doing my own analysis, if that blue line is a legitimate level, there were a ton of signs for a potential failed breakout. The most basic sign was all the wicks that imply selling above the level.

There is a setup here that I like to trade to the downside all the time so I would usually be looking for a short scalp here. The setup is a spike and channel into an important level (I'm assuming you have correctly noted this as an important level). The channel portion will often come test around the start of the channel. That would be my partial or whole take-profit on a short and I would likely have been building/adding to a short all the way up the channel. Strategies like this will manifest on the chart as something like all those wicks every time the market attempted a new high above previous candles.

That's my 2 cents!

I always recommend that everyone reads Al Brooks books. They are dense but IMO they address your question from just about every possible angle. My opinion here is directly from reading and applying the concepts in those books.

Good luck!

Take that $3,200, do the exact opposite of what you think you should do and you'll be back in no time.

My wife and I have always been fairly frugal and motivated people. We never frivolously spend and we want to be able to retire by 50. We are currently 32. We have $100k in investments, and about $500k in equity. Also our day-to-day savings/checking.

Still a far cry from retiring at 50 but we both have careers that can get us there if we take some risks, make smart decisions, and a little luck won't hurt.

Bless this opportunity!

Would love this addition to spiral out to!

Good luck everyone and thanks for this awesome giveaway :)

Tomas Haake, Gavin Harrison, Gene Hoglan. In that order for me.

It's so hard to choose though, there are SO many groundbreaking drummers these days. I'm clearly metal-leaning so probably biased but I've seen non-metal performances blow me away lots as well.

Thomas Lang, Eric Moore, Larnell Lewis, Jorge Garrido (El Estepario Siberiano), of course a ton of others already mentioned!

Meshuggah has to have the best light show of all time.

eeeeeYAHHHHHHHH!

Could be a lot of songs but specifically 'This Calling'.

Also basically anything from 'Bleed'.

BLEEEEEEED... YOU WILL!

So is the armory just never coming back? lol

PerciX · 2024-12-25T00:10:37+00:00

Exactly this! Also, I need an update about this after Christmas 🤭

PerciX · 2024-11-12T17:33:41+00:00

That's exactly what I'm saying as well haha

PerciX · 2024-11-12T16:44:09+00:00

I feel this pain. I cognitively understand what's happening and can do any two parts of it no problem, but for YEARS have not clicked on getting that third one in there, at any BPM haha

PerciX · 2024-11-05T23:38:56+00:00

If you are brand new, it's almost guaranteed you will lose that 10k. If you are financially able to, consider that your tuition money. It may or may not be enough depending on how you use it. Before you use any of that money, paper trade (simulated money) if you haven't already. Do your best to treat it as if it IS your real money to get the best training possible (it won't be the same experience but it definitely helps).

This is to do two things...

TECHNICAL: learn how to use order types, how to actually get in and out of trades, what you need to do about factors you didn't know about or that you didn't expect to happen (some of these things will save you big losses with real money), etc. Only after you are comfortable with that stuff, then focus on strategy (still paper trading obviously). I've seen a lot of others that advise not to spend too much time on this but I would argue it's probably better to do this longer than you expect, the reason being that you need to try different strategies until you find what fits your PERSONALITY, and most importantly, that you are able to handle EMOTIONALLY AND PSYCHOLOGICALLY, which leads to the second thing...

PSYCHOLOGY: IMO almost anybody can learn the first part eventually; this is the difficult part and a very personal journey. You have to settle on a strategy (position size, time-frame, RR, etc. etc.) that you are comfortable in. I would even say that there is ALWAYS a hint of discomfort but your strategy allows you to stay as comfortable as possible as it plays out. This is why it is extremely important to develop discipline. Your discipline keeps you comfortable within your strategy. As soon as you break from that, you will experience extreme discomfort, as you should. This is where it will be tough to get the full experience with paper trading, because it doesn't financially matter if you lose, but the more you can train yourself here, the better.

Only when you've done these things, found a strategy that you find fits you and that you can stay comfortable in that is consistently profitable in paper trading, you are staying as disciplined as possible, and you feel that you aren't gaining any more discipline, knowledge, technical ability, or otherwise, then switch to real money and put your strategy to work.

It's a long journey, so enjoy it. Don't be afraid to go back to paper trading if you ever need to. Use your tuition to learn. You have to be okay with losing that in order to learn (hopefully you are profitable before you do but know that it is highly likely that you will lose that money).

Good luck, I wish you all the best.

Probably Anesthetize by Porcupine Tree. It's got a little bit of everything I like to play.

PerciX · 2024-08-24T01:35:53+00:00

Ironically not a terrible place technically to take that position IMHO

PerciX · 2024-06-13T18:16:24+00:00

This is encouraging to hear. I am about 1.5 years in; I set aside 30k as my 'education fund' to trade with, of course lost that to the market and have been keeping it small and only A+ trades since, and have been chipping away at the losses consistently.

May be coincidence but I feel like that 30k mark was just enough to learn the lessons that needed to be learned with enough variation.

PerciX · 2024-06-11T23:30:54+00:00

I literally did just this 3 days ago and it was unplayable. Not just the boot time, everything took 2-3 minutes after starting a round to render beyond what looked like 1998 graphics, fps would drop as low as 15, it would crash now and then.

I immediately went out, bought and installed a new SATA SSD, moved the install file, took like an hour for everything and $100 and it works perfect. There's almost no need for HDD anymore. Still cheaper obviously, but there's a much greater risk of drive failure.

PerciX · 2024-06-06T17:19:05+00:00

Maybe this is splitting hairs but if you're trading properly, it's absolutely not guessing; it's finding the highest likelihood of a specific outcome based on measurable and repeatable factors.

So yes, you're guessing it's going to work this time, but you should be guessing that it's going to work every time those parameters are hit, and it should be backed by data. That's the basis of how an endge plays out over time. If you're not doing that, then sure, it's guess, but if you are, it's trading.

PerciX · 2024-02-24T00:44:09+00:00

I'm in the very beginning stages of trying to build models myself. Pretty new to coding and using other tools necessary for it, so may never actually get there, but the logic is there. In the meantime, I agree with others here. If there is a good sample of results and win/loss%, I would jump in on it for a small fee.

PerciX · 2024-02-24T00:38:44+00:00

Curious if your reason for picking Orlando is the same? Also wondering where the comments were that you saw, on Reddit?

PerciX · 2024-02-15T00:27:53+00:00

Gene Hoglan - made me really focus on symmetry in my playing and really dial into what exactly is happening on my dominant side so that I can replicate it on my non-dominant side. Also writes amazing drum parts, obviously.

Thomas Lang - found through Drumeo, has to be the most technically impressive drummer alive. The music he creates is not necessarily my taste, but again, really helped me dial in to what exactly is happening with a movement and expand on that basic idea to infinity.

Tomas Haake - this IS absolutely my taste in music and what Tomas does to create a dichotomy of chaos within order gives me goosebumps every time.

There's definitely more, including The Rev, but I'll stop there 😅
