Ladies & Gentlemen... If you never read another post or lend your attention my way, take these words to heart. The opinions, of others about you, should never shape who you are. If you live your life like that, you will be led by emotions. Greed and the pursuit to always please, impress, perform, or outclass someone else or something is a fools errand. You won't convince everyone and no matter how many people claim to love you, believe in you, support you, promote you or what you stand for... the one person who doesn't and their weak words will disrupt your life. None of you hold that measure of influence over me. Yet, I see so many falling into traps via greed and image building . I hold a seat of influence most would abuse. A younger me might have abused it, I readily admit that. You might read the trolls say I only trade paper accounts, I never trade live for others to copy me. I can stand here among others who open themselves up to legal troubles by doing otherwise... and I say, I warned you. I want each of you to find a model that works for you. I would be thrilled to see all of you make millions. However, the truth is, most of you are ill equipped to do it consistently. Anyone who sits in front of others and leads them in live executions, opens themselves a direct pathway, in legal terms, for those who pay you. Some of you laugh at my teaching style in paper trading, but you don't assume liability in demo accounts. You never assume liability when you never provide "copy me" conditions for people who lack self-control or who are unable to manage impulsive behaviors. You never assume liability if you don't sell affilate income with questionable practices. I could have made more than all of the well known affiliate influencers combined, but I know the risks. I never held or accepted an affiliate partnership that benefited me money wise. Unfortunately, some of you who laughed under your breath, in my direction, will learn why I operate the way I do. Don't allow money to influence commonsense and good judgement. A life with stress with lots of money in the bank is a broke life, so listen to good medicine. Hope this helps someone...

When price is chopping you up, I’m usually scaling in… It’s a science to trading inside bars and it ain’t all about what you see in the charts all the time. Do you know how cheap premiums get during the consolidation phase of price? Both sides of the auction are undecided. Sometimes it’s about getting the better price. Risk to reward ain’t just the distance from entry to terminus on the chart but also trade price at entry to trade profits at terminus. And if that consolidation is taking place above or below displacement, I already have my bias.

3-5 years are needed to trading success. You have to develop skills, mindset and emotion control. Experience is not that cheap.

ORH = Opening Range High
ORL = Opening Range Low It's the high and low of the first 30 minutes after the open (9:30–10:00). If price breaks above ORH or below ORL and holds, it usually keeps going that way. If price pokes above ORH or below ORL and closes back inside, watch for a reversal. Some use the 5 or 15 min range. Same idea just more noise. I like the 30.
