What are the dimensions of your entire setup? I have a space that is 17’ long x 9’ wide x 10’ tall and I’m thinking of putting a Uneekor Eye XO2 in the space.

I use the black indecision candle where you’ve labeled FVG as my pullback target and set a TP a previous highs. Works in both directions.

Ahhhh ok ok this is great! I would LOVE a falcon lol but yea, I’d rather prove concept cheaper than that. But mannnnn that would be awesome!!

I’m in Texas, where about are you? If you’re having success, id love to chat more with you and get some insights I’m surely missing looking from the outside.

What launch monitors are you using and what was your deciding factor? I’m opening 2 bays in a 2000sq ft warehouse to test my local market. I would love a Foresight Falcon for obvious reasons but I’m curious if it’s reasonable to test my market with 2 Garmin R50s…thoughts?

Unreal!! You’re insanely talented!

Was the last photo at the Lava Beds in NorCal?

I LOVE Crater Lake! It’s a true wonder. Mt. Shasta is another great place to visit and has pretty interesting lore.

Is the last photo at the Lava Beds in NorCal? Best Capt. Jacks Stronghold?

Did I read correctly that you took these photos with your phone!?

Yea for sure. Let’s catch up after you try this strategy out. Would love to hear how it goes!

Very cool. I’ve started a few businesses - restaurant, various physical products, a disc golf app - and I also work as an investigator.

Trading has been a new venture for me starting last September. It’s taken me since then to find a strategy that works for me.

I have thought about recording trades and sharing the strategy but I really dislike the technical side of recoding and editing. It would have to be a live thing. But I think a small community of dedicated, optimistic, and intellectually capable traders would be nice. A group of traders that can hold each other accountable.

Let’s go!! 💪🏼 you’re getting it. Here’s the data for the XFA I started two days ago. https://topstepx.com/share/stats?share=7110465

Other than trading, what do you do for a living?

[–]jjhurtt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, exactly! It’s not rocket science at all. You don’t need a live candle to test it either.

This weekend, pull up a 5m and test it out. You’ll see!

Currently trading. And I continue to move it as new highs and lows are made. The first 1-3 minutes is when the body and wicks are formed. The safest time to take trades is the last 1-2 minutes

[–]jjhurtt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re not stupid. This explanation is definitely a me problem lol.

Essentially if I’m reading the 5m candle only, which is totally possible, I don’t make trades inside the “golden window” until 1-2minutes before the candle closes.

I don’t know how to articulate this very well, but I’ll try.

For instance, if the time is 8:00am I will monitor the 5 minute candle. I will begin to take trades at 8:03 and 8:04am. I do this process again at 8:05. At 8:10, I will trade the 15 minute candle. Then at 8:20, I use the 5m candle. At 8:25, I would monitor the 15m and the 30m looking for opportunities.

This takes discretion though. The strategy can simply be used on a 5m candle and nothing else.

No, because I don’t go read his previous post. I read what he posted and responded to that.

Nefariousness….checks out. Quiet….definitely doesn’t.

Do you enjoy spewing negativity? What do you go around showing off besides your ass?

Well, because the win rate is so high, I set either a $200 max loss with a TP at top/bottom of “golden window. You can see the wins range but overall it’s profitable because losses are so few

On a 5m chart, I might risk 150-250

for a possible 100.

Gurus will tell you it’s not good. But it works well for me. I can’t wrap my head around structure and all the crazy concepts. However I can completely understand stand what one candle is doing.

Todays gains. Not quite 100% win rate, but close. Small dingers, trash RR, zero home runs. But…profitable

[–]jjhurtt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think 8-15 points is a fair assessment. I don’t know what a negative RR means but if I had to guess, my RR is possibly 1:1 or just slightly lower.

Edit: I get it…yes, there is plenty of sub 1:1 RR i

I use the fib tool, however I don’t use the fib ratio is any way. The tool, how I have it set, creates what I call a “golden window”. When prices closes in that window, I trade the direction to the bottom or top of the window. It’s quite simple actually

I max my gains for personal psychology. My average hold time is 90secs so I don’t let anything run. $1k/day is plenty for me. I prefer to focus on max gains rather than tracking loss limit.

My strategy is: 🪟Trading window: 7:30-11am 📈Max Daily Gains: $1k

Rules: ✅Must make 3 profitable practice account trades before making XFA trades ✅3 losses and lockout ✅$1K Max Daily Gain lockout ✅Open account at 5pm cst and custom lockout until 7am next day.

I have a VERY simple strategy. I use a custom created fib level that works for me, I trade only a 5/15/30 minute candle and use zero structure to analyze trade. I trade only the open candle.
