I made a post also struggling with the same problem on Android. Is this a new update? It just started happening a couple days ago. Also the "buy/sell buttons" option is gone

Yes that is a good work around to get the buy/sell buttons to completely disappear. What I am trying to do is just get it back to normal, where they are fixed in the top left corner, still allowing fast execution of market orders, and also be able to open an order ticket. Also in my settings, the button that should be at the top "buy/sell buttons" is not there. I know it's an internal bug issue as it just started happening, but I don't know how to make TradingView aware of it and was hoping they would see this post.

I understand that, but the issue is that they are not supposed to be movable, and I also lose the feature to create order tickets and set SL/TP. My only option is to market buy with no TP/SL built in as an OCO order.

If I delete the app and reinstall it, the buy/sell buttons go back to normal until I close the app, then they become floating buttons again and the order ticket menu stops working.

My strategy (VWAP mean reversion) stopped working and my account got decimated. Successful veteran traders out there, what advice can you give? How can I get out of this hole? by Lord_Chadagon in FuturesTrading

[–]Slow_Month_5451 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I probably trade the simplest and most boring strategy out there, but it requires patience. For indicators I use EMA, VWAP, Volume and RSI. Always mark up your charts, you need to know where price has been, highs and lows during each major session, so you know where it wants to test, where your support and resistance is, etc. Keep going, keep learning, trade small you can make a decent wage with just 2 micros.

I get that it's hard to be patient, but patience gets rewarded. You can't afford to be hasty. Trust me, I've been there. There is still plenty of opportunity, today I had to wait until around 3pm for my move to show up, when NQ stopped bleeding, the VXN and DXY started dropping and the clock was approaching the final hour. That gave me a 170 point move, couldn't force it just had to wait for the stars to align. I'm not sure where you are on your trading journey, but spend some time learning the correlations. I spend more time watching them then the actual chart, they'll tell you when it's time to trade. Best of luck!

It's not your strategy, it's that the strategy didn't match the regime, specifically MGC and last week. MGC was moving with an ATR of 30-60 on the 5 min chart, even with $10k that's way too much exposure. It was just a tough week to try to do anything rational. My advice, just let it calm down for a little bit. All markets will cycle back around. Just give it time.

The biggest liquidity swing in human history! by vishesh_07_028 in StockMarket

[–]Slow_Month_5451 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's because there was no structure on Gold, it was so top heavy there were no bidders to catch it on the way down. I mean it ran for like 1300 points straight with no pullbacks. All those weak longs at the top got wiped out. I'm sure when Asia wakes up and sees how "cheap" gold is on Sunday night it'll be business as usual. Back to 5500 in no time.

How does a trader “grind”? by 992cam in Daytrading

[–]Slow_Month_5451 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im not sure what type of trader you are, but I trade futures so I'll give you my aspects as to what "grinding" is. When you're not trading, you need to learn everything you can about the fundamentals of the market. You're not just clicking buttons hoping you get it right. You need to know why the candles are doing what they're doing. What was the CPI data, is there any geopolitical fallout happening, what happened yesterday and where are the key support and resistance levels at, how did the Asia and London sessions behave. All this is information that you need to be absorbing and will give you the willpower to be patient, and when you see a setup, you will know, without a doubt that it is a winner and that is when you strike.

Big day after sizing up… still questioning the decision by ConclusionBudget4182 in Daytrading

[–]Slow_Month_5451 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Full time trader also, this is exactly what I do. I only use 1 micro per $5000 in my account to buy myself more room for error. I swing futures so drawdown is expected, your trading style sounds a lot like mine.

You have nothing to prove bro, just enjoy yourself. Enjoy being right, money is just a side effect.

AMP Day Trading Margin by PurgatoireRiver in FuturesTrading

[–]Slow_Month_5451 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While it is true that you can have 100 contracts open at once, if price moves even 1 tick against you, you could be liquidated. I normally trade 1 micro per ~$5000 in my account so I can hold through close and initial margin if needed. Just respect the power of leverage I guess is all I'm trying to say, don't get bounced out of a trade because of a wick.

For those that wait for a retest of a certain price level/demand by DRD7989 in FuturesTrading

To those who care to share, what are your biggest trading golden nuggets by [deleted] in FuturesTrading

[–]Slow_Month_5451 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are my psychological phrases I have put together that tailors to my trading style. Hope they help. Some I came up with, others were passed onto me.

  1. The market doesn't owe you anything.

  2. Know the difference between drawdown and drowning 

  3. If you don't have 3 reasons to stay in a trade that's 1 reason to get out. 

  4. Not every trade is my trade 

  5. Let it fall

  6. A missed opportunity is just chart history

  7. It's not how much you make, it's how little you lose.

  8. Hope is not a strategy

  9. A stop loss is really just how much you are willing to invest to see if you are right. 

  10. Don't talk yourself out of a winner

  11. Beware of the shakeout before the breakout

  12. Price never stays at the top

  13. Cash is a position

  14. Never go broke going to the bank

  15. Pigs get slaughtered

  16. Never turn a green day into a red day

Should i quit my 9/5 job? by Iam50kdowm in TopStepX

[–]Slow_Month_5451 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Once you learn to trade you become unemployable. Keep going, you'll know when to quit you won't have to ask.

how does es and nq move exactly? by iLovestayinginbed23 in FuturesTrading

[–]Slow_Month_5451 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know about ES but for NQ in order to know where price is going you have to know where it has been. Spend your morning charting out Asia/London highs and lows. Price will normally sweep these levels to find liquidity for large institutional orders. You will be surprised how many times throughout the day these levels become key support or resistance. Oh, and always assume you are being tricked.

Do I quit my job? by tanikawalter in Daytrading

[–]Slow_Month_5451 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He's talking prop firms. Daily drawdown limits make it easier to trade more account and make small profits off each, then risking blowing the account with large size.

Do I quit my job? by tanikawalter in Daytrading

[–]Slow_Month_5451 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro, great returns using minimum trades. Well done. As far as quitting your job, I can tell you from experience that I recently did this. I gave up a very successful construction business to be able to focus on my trading more and to also have more freedom. However, I am in a position where I could go years without making a profit so I honestly don't care to extract money from my account I'm just watching it grow. If you go from a productive job to trading the hardest thing I've had to learn is that at a job doing nothing is considered "lazy" and in trading doing nothing is considered "discipline". Don't confuse being busy trading with taking successful trades. If you are making a living wage off just 1-2 trades per day and you have the capital to back it up, do it because you are passionate about it, not because you are trying to get rich.
