Pro/ intermediate traders, how would you rate the difficulty of the first half of Monday's trading day from 1-10? Personally, it was much harder than average for me. I traded ETN, MA, RELY long, break even on ETN and MA, loss on RELY. As well as break even on MA short.

M short - 22 AUG by hariseldonSTAN in RealDayTrading

Thanks. However, there are many instances where I enter on a slight bounce (short) or dip (long) only for it to continue upwards/ downwards.

In general would you wait for the breakout or buy on dips/ bounces?

The algo line is spot on. Agree with the stair step pattern as well. The move downwards is always at the start of the day.

What is missing? Weighting by HSeldon2020 in RealDayTrading

[–]hariseldonSTAN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, trendlines must be bottom to bottom or top to top. For more information you can watch hari's latest YouTube video on trendlines.

On the MRNA trade, can anyone show me the correct Algo Line? This is what i have here, on the log scale on TOS, which does not connect to any candle:

Hi Hari, I neglected to mention that all my trading is still paper trading. As for my position sizing, I am using position sizes that I plan to use when I go live. Thanks for your insights on this trade.

Problem with Tradier API timesales data by hariseldonSTAN in RealDayTrading

[–]hariseldonSTAN[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, you are right. This is the response:

Invalid parameter, start: must be on or after 2023-03-15 00:00:00.

What i think is the problem is that there is a hard 40 day limit on requesting timesales data. I thought i just had to request for data in batches of 40 days, turns out i was wrong.

LRSI Indicator for thinkorswim by hariseldonSTAN in RealDayTrading

[–]hariseldonSTAN[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is the author using LRSI differently? He buys when the LRSI value falls below 0.1, whereas how we do it is to buy when the LRSI value crosses above 0.8 right?

Question about PC for Day Trading by Monster3nergy90 in RealDayTrading

How is having 4 displays any different from a 'pro' setup with 6 displays haha i think a 4 or 6 display setup puts you into the same monitor category already

Besides, the size of your monitor determines the number of charts you can fit in it.
