There is not such thing as perfect trading only perfect execution. Perfect trading is trading your plan according to your rules with proper risk management and position and account size with exact execution. It is not thinking which is an imperfect though that one must know everything to do anything. if anything it will cause imperfection because you are not building from a solid foundation its a lot of unfinished thoughts systems as your not “perfecting” the execution of them your just hopping around. Listen or don’t listening to this advise is a lot cheaper way as either way you will eventually believe it. Just how much do you want to pay the market to believe it.

Think tongue in cheek man. Egads was taking a personal shot at myself. I am all to aware of how being a perfectionist is both an asset and a liability in my lifestyle. I listen to EVERYTHING, and there is a LOT here to listen to.
Let’s see if this works for the image. I thought saving the image from Jing was enough, didn’t realize it HAD to go on screencast.
OK, so what’s the deal with the 6 ticks because that is the default setting and on this page it does not give a tick setting for every FX chart. How is one to know??? Is there some formula that I should be considering? Is it something that I should be testing on each FX pair over and over again until I know? Help me understand how to set the ticks up so they work for me. I have watched every single video on this site and it may have been in there somewhere but at this point my mind is turning to mush.
I have managed to skinny my charts down to;
APEX Diagnostic Bars with/
-Toolbar Shortcut
-Elite Pattern
-Trend Catcher
-Trend Catcher Chop Filter
-Expected Volume
-Deviation Levels
-Expected Range 03
This, for me, eliminates a lot of clutter that makes the chart hard to follow. Too much? Too little? Please tell me what I am doing wrong because right now I am getting my nuts crushed with stop after stop after stop. I set them at 10 ticks from entry with profit at 20 ticks and I CONSTANTLY get reversals and stopped out! Is this because of my tick settings?
Here is the other picture file again. Let me know if it works correctly this time???
Ok I see that the picture is here now. Here is the original question to go with it.
Anyone tell me why I have some charts that load like this one? Note that it shows the deviation levels all the way down to -2.0 near the PIVOT/STOP and ENTRY POINTS and, the ALERT and EXIT points are completely off the chart, well above the +3.0 deviation level that cannot be seen here. All this and the asset is actually ranging between Settlement and -0.5. I have seen other charts load like this and they take quite some time to load. There has to be some underlying cause.
You have a drawing or a bad tick or a setting off somewhere. Clear your data cache using the toolkit. Rebuild the chart. If you still have an issue please submit a help desk ticket so we can hop on and fix it for you.
Also if your new stear clear of Natural Gas.
Regarding getting stopped i have no idea what your doing. (I got 10 tick stop and 20 tick target). Though i dont do a 20 tick target. My stop is minimum 10 ticks usuallu bar size +2. I use mvp to scalo or trend unless it flies through my target i will trail. Also are you doing elevator and slinsghot entries? What rules your following What mistakes you making or assumptions your making. Need charts of trades to see it.
We are knocking it out day after day. Use the room.
