Hi Mo

I did bit searching in spacewars and Blind Mouse thread couldn't find anything relating to picture.

I worked through your picture logically this what i came up with. To be honest i understand CC trading but when combined 3 CC in blindmouse thread i got bit losted. But then i haven't really brought my full focus on to it yet.

so in picture below

1. trying to understand how you arrived at the 2 CC overlays
2. no idea how apply this as edge.

Thanks Mo

Here is a new one for you ;)

It is traded like a normal CC using the Space Wars positioning MM.

Hi

Knowing when to be objective and when to be subjective in your trading.

Im Objective when:
Im doing my analyse of 1day,4hr, 1hr momos for direction.
Im looking at open,close extremes and 50% levels of previous candles.
Im looking at 4hr swing points.
When im in 4hr Mightyzone.

Im Subjective when:-
Im looking for a price to enter a position.(its impossible to define a hard set rules for this you can only have general guide lines, its down to individual trader as to what they see).

I was having problems with trying to objective when i should just accept the fact i need to be subjective this point. I was always waiting for some confirmation, of course by that time price action was gone. I will just use set basic guide lines when im looking to enter a position.

Interesting way of look for bodies in direction of profit.

Do you this with the other 2 shifts ?

Because of the way in which the CC are drawn (Lowest high in three periods etc) I imagine that the shifts would be very similar.

And here is a shift:

This reminds me of an idea I was playing with in the PnF thread.

Basically it was like this:

I don't typically use CC's but if I was going to start getting creative with them, I'd ask myself "If I were to combine 3 candles in a discretionary way, how would I combine them in such a way to better show me what I want to see?"

Each combining might be a little different but there should be some common themes that emerge. Then try to simplify it in such a way that would work most of the time that does not require discretion.

Then again, there may not be anything wrong with using discretion...

I also like how MO's idea shows more information in the same amount of space that a normal CC would take up...

With visualizing data, I'm always trying to figure out how to show the most information in the smallest amount of space, efficiency.

It was never about CC, but simple ideas formed through comparisons.

Once an idea is formed, it is just a matter of using money management (space/position) to make it work.

I find that it is better to act now than it is to have a better late than never approach to trading; if it is correct to buy on a breakout then it is correct to buy now and let MM handle the rest.

I was talking with my father the other day about MM:

You have 5 contracts and 100 ticks of space

You plan to exit 2 contracts on a stop to "refresh" your space to 100 ticks

3/5 = 0.6 & 100 * 0.6 = 60 ticks

If you set a stop at -40 ticks then you will have 100 ticks of space, from your stop, and 3 contracts.
It is not important that you are sitting with a loss. What is important is that you have both space and lots so you are not digging in your wallet for another 5%.

If price goes up and your space is 160 ticks then adding 3 lots (5/8 ) brings your space back down to 100 ticks.

Maintaining a large lot size is, through the manipulation of space, is your sole focus; profit is the result of this.

He didn't understand much of it...some of it is better than none of it I suppose.
