Aliassmith Beats a "Dead Horse"

[aliassmith]

Sue me these were:
Take 10
I would have never thought I would trade a 15 second chart.

[aliassmith]

Resting after doing some yard work.
Charts are a nice way to rest.
Trading with the 20 SMA waiting for a close in my direction after my "zone" is touched.
Zline
FVG
S/R Flip

1:1 RRR

Take 10 after 9:50am

[aliassmith]

Some Take 5 before market OPEN.

[aliassmith]

Close enough to Market OPEN.
11 trades
1 loss
2 breakeven

About $45 of commission.
About 35 points net.

[aliassmith]

The 1 minute still does the job in premarket.

[aliassmith]

I must get out in the real world now. I'll make more charts tonight unless we have an impromptu party.

[IgazI]

I see the extra complexity, I see the detail, what I don't see is the added value (at least not for me):

These open-dots are 1 minute apart, and you can see how the trades are basically the same between minute charts and seconds.

If I were scalping a few points. . .IDK, because I don't scalp.

That's just my opinion, and you're free to have your own.

So this chart looks fun.

It's a NQ 10Range chart.

Green line over White is long only.
Green line under White is short only.

Long trigger is Red bar, Green bar.
Short trigger is Green bar, Red bar.

Add some order flow/structure context.

Take 5

It seemed strange at first but, it does have structure to it that makes sense.
I'll have to watch in a live market to see how it runs.

All these methods work.
We know that.
Can YOU work it?

That has always been the question.

The APEX dirty secret!

We have some good forex props out there like FTMO, MFF, and 5ers. They each have a 2 step test for their eval offering.

For example 8% phase 1 target without hitting max drawdown of 12%.

5% phase 2 target without hitting max drawdown of 12%.

When you pass you start trading for real money with 12% drawdown that does not trail.

APEX is sneaky, they have 1 phase to pass, or do they?

A example if you get the $25k offering, there is a $1500 target and max $1500 drawdown. If you pass you will trade for real money.

The catch you can't claim any funds until your account has increased by more than your drawdown +$100. In essence you had a second evaluation phase.

Those tricky guys.

So +1600 is basically a starting 0 on live acc?
