After passing 2 evals, and then slow burning them to the ground, I took some time off, pursued other information, chased a bunch of stuff. failed more. Took more time off, and now I'm trying to come back fresh. New year, new commitment. Trade 1 of the year was a win for +618. Just as a simple trade on 6x MES, closed 4 at 2:1, final 2 at 2.3:1 on that 11:54 candle. stop on those was the bottom of the 11:48 one.

I took my first two trades on trading view. Try to forget about the sizing! lol But I noticed that my orders were cancelled I don't quite understand this. I see that I lost money but it doesn't look like price went beyond the red box, so why did I lose?

Hey I'm new so this is one of the first trades I've ever placed. It's a short trade with a Jedi set up. Have some extremely newbie questions to ask. As you can see from the chart, the candles entered into my demand zone. I got the alert on my phone, so i did my best to place the trade using that for the first time. In hindsight, I realize my entry was at the top of the zone instead of the bottom, caught myself on that one. Also, I couldn't make out where to set my order to be sub $500. Out of trepidation of the market moving past the zone, I purchased a few hundred $ above 500. It's hilarious how easy it is to go outside the boundaries. However, after I placed the trade a wick went above my zones. I assumed this would equate to a loss. But it then came back down into the zone and has ended up being profitable. Is this common? Is this what it means to, "let the trade play out?" Or should I have cancelled the trade once the wick went above my zones. Also, do I have to do anything to collect one the order has been filled or is all automatic?

Should we stick with 1 particular lower TF when looking for Superman entries? For example if I don’t like the chances of price coming back into my entry point on the 1 minute TF, but looks more promising on the 3 minute TF, AND (very important and) all my other.criteria is still met, is there anything wrong with switching to the 3 minute TF? Is this a bad habit to get into? I see the potential for this to turn into to chasing price, but, if I make sure all the normal entry criteria is met, are there down sides to this I’m not thinking of?
