Trust The Levels - Trade Options In ThinkOrSwim

[trendtraderflow]

Can you be more specific as to when you're entering and when you're exiting? I gotta give you props for being passionate about the strategy and about trying to help the community

Level to level Jose watch the price action around the orange deviation lines and you will see it, this is a very precise chart set up

Thanks brother, any chance of adding a previous days close line? price tends to revert to that

Can you share a link to that tos lay out? its clean !!

 

[METAL]

what would you try if using this for futures?

I have tested both and still like the V.2 with futures where it sets the time at 4am - 9:29 am. I suggest trying both and pay attention to how the price reacts to each and decide which one you like the most.

Which one? the top or bottom?

 

[trendtraderflow]

Metal, have you tested the setup on any weekly plays? will the anchor times need adjusting?

 

[JoseB]

Reaaaally interested in this. Using the "Today Only" version but my 2 min chart does NOT look like your 2 min chart? Anything wrong with the code?

Something is wrong with your code I suspect. The anchored LRC lines are not showing up. they should be on the chart..

No I haven't but it would be pretty cool to setup a swing trade option. The LRC would most likely need to be set at a week or so back for it to work this way. If you figure something out, let us know.

Try with 2m today instead of 2m 3D

Todays Trades! This is getting crazy but awesome. I will ride this train until it jumps the tracks.
I missed a few really great setups. MSFT, AAPL, COIN, MRNA, and a few others. They all would have been great!

Let's give a shoutout to @METAL!

He joined the forum two years ago, today!

Like many rookies, he danced with the devil of repainters and wrestled in attempts to make lagging moving averages profitable during his trading journey.

But unlike many rookie traders, who end up in the 97% failure club, @METAL didn't just ask questions, he interrogated them (seriously, he could've given Sherlock a run for his money). Through sheer grit and endless queries, he's joined that elite club of new traders who are successful.

This strategy has risen to one of the top 15 participated in strategies of all-time, in three months!

Kudos, to @METAL


Quick heads-up: Our current bullish rallies—the Santa Claus and the ongoing one—are flexing some serious muscle, akin to those powerhouse rallies back in the '80s and '90s.

Trending strategies? They're the golden ticket during these bullish bonanzas. But, uh, once the party's over? Not so much.

Recap: 2022 was a bear hug, and while the first 10 months of 2023 played the bullish card; it was with a shallow deck. Translation? Market gains rode on the backs of a handful of wild high-growth stocks, while the rest snoozed.

But hey, buckle up for the current rally—it's got all the bells and whistles. Market depth? Check. Strong job market? Double check. Companies ditching the recession talk for juicy earnings reports and optimistic future guidance? Checkmate.

Oh, but remember, even in bull markets, there are pullbacks—like last February's overheating episode. But fear not, it's still prime time to ride that trend strategy wave.

I do in my videos. You do not have to trust. That is okay with me. I am marking up for those that would like to learn and try this system. If you do not want to, then do not participate. You should try it though. It works. I have not had a losing DAY since I have started using this.
BTW, This is an interesting comment from a VIP and 2019 donor??? Everyone that is trying to help others on this forum, provide marked up charts as that is the easiest way to show how to use their system/idea. I have not seen you ask others to provide P/Ls and trade entries. Very odd. must have rattle your cage or something. Here is AMZN, my first trade.

@METAL - Really appreciate and kudos to you for sharing such an awesome strategy.
Being a beginner, I find it very useful and seeing success. Thank you for answering our questions and posting these updates.

anyway to have legacy plots from previous premarkets

@SleepyZ created the one called MultiDay but it di not seem to work properly. I just draw them manually if I need to go back and review trades.

I had a great day today and as a trader realized I need to be smacked in the head over and over for NOT following my rules. "But this time I know I'm right"
So my mistake today was really stupid however, after talking to others, a lot of traders tried similar due to the huge earnings pop on NVDA. I had a BIAS and was sure there would be a pullback (at least I wanted one) and if NVDA was moving up still so would the rest of the semi's. That is where I went wrong. I was determined to force AMD to comply with my BIAS and move up along with NVDA. So when AMD got over 172 and held, which was a Resistance Level I had marked on my chart, I was getting in longs and was going to sit back and count the money until it reached my target level. Here is the kicker. I was taking it even though the rest of the market was moving down and rejecting major levels. (That was my sign but I ignored it) 1 of my rules is to not trade against the NQ/ES and never trade when Nq/ES is approaching a major level.

I had a loss on this trade and I am kinda glad because it will help me to make a better decision the next time. I hope!

My 1st trade was Qcom-

My AMD BAD trade

Try with 2m today instead of 2m 3D

Okay done. When I do that I can't see anything on the chart. It says "Waiting for data." I'm guessing that it only shows candles when it's 930am, right?

 

[JoseB]

Something is wrong with your code I suspect. The anchored LRC lines are not showing up. they should be on the chart..

What should I do? I used the exact link you provided.

It must be something on your end as it is working for everyone else. Try the V.2 version https://tos.mx/!bRJfYOTJ

@METAL
Thank you for the strategy, I have been watching this thread since almost the very start. Are you still following vincent desiano? I heard you mention him in one of your videos and wasn’t sure it you still incorporate some of his strategies with your LRC component.
