Its hard to believe i've been a member here for 5 years, benefited from all the content and have not shared anything. So i've decided to take the plunge and share my TST Journey. Here's a little background about myself:
1. First discovered trading in 2011
2. Traded periodically from 2012 to date with cash.
So 2015 has been a wild trading year for me and I've finally made up my mind to get serious and get down to business. So I took an abundance of Combines this year while I was trading cash and in between trading cash. I passed 4 combines and failed miserably at all previous Funded Trader Prep. I failed so badly I barely lasted for 6 days!
I recently passed a combine on December 7, 2016 and started my Funded Trader Prep on December 8, 2016.
The system I trade is fairly simple and its as follows:
1. I only trade in the direction of the trend. (I rarely fade, unless the market is screaming for me to do so)
2. I buy minor retracements
3. I avoid trading into VAH,VAL, and POC
4. I use a 55EMA and 277 EMA to determine trend
5. I use a MACD as a visual aid only to determine divergence (not for entries or exits but to filter out potential bad trades)
6. I use a laguerre indicator to filter out low percentage trades
7. My money managment is 2 cars, 1st target 15 ticks, 2nd target 25 ticks and SL 6ticks in GC and CL
8. Money management in NQ is 3 cars All out at 16 ticks and SL at 6 ticks.
9. I use Bloodhound to fire signals and I manually enter.
So far I've traded 1 day in the FTP(Funded Trader Prep) an made $313 in 4 trades. My goal is to provide a screenshot of my charts and results each day I trade if I can figure out how to add the image!
