I like to keep things simple. Green candles mean it's going up, red candles mean it's going down. I don't like to have any expectations as you will get burned so often by them. Financially and psycologically. What I want or hope the markets will do is has no basis in reality. I trade the probabilities of a direction happening after taking the price movement and market conditions at that time into consideration. Future events that put the markets in motion will make predictions in both directions, wrong. What happens if a nuclear device explodes in a major city? What happens if a cure for all cancer is found by eating 20 lemons? Anything can happen. Not trying to be flippant but I find it so much easier to just trade on whatever side is right and not think about why.
Really glad to see you posting again Scott. I've been thinking about joining a prop firm to get over the PDT rule, and finally get rid of the big "fear" in my trading.
That's a helpful post, Scott. There's no denying the simplicity of your approach. But, effective simple solutions to complex problems are the very hardest to achieve...
I will endeavor to post charts showing my daily trading activities in as real time as possible. However when there are fast market conditions there will be several minutes delay while I sort out my positions, then get around to posting the changes here. I trade off 5 minute charts in conjunction with 15 min. charts and pay close attention to 5 min. charts of the S&P 500 and QQQQ.

Actually I just saw your same post on another blog...take your spam or attempts to drive traffic to your site somewhere else.
Spam removed.

Good post Scott.... just like you I like to keep it simple.
