OK, got the straggling one shown on the previous post done today, rounding off the 10 set. This one took a bit longer, 3 days.



Sick stats for this 10 set.




What's my eval strategy? Glad you asked. I'm so proud of it. It has an 83% win rate!!!

OK, posting here was a red flag. I was all set for a bad day on these PAs, but it turned out okay. I'm not gonna keep pressing my luck. I'll give it a rest now.

Hey Ziggy123, Glad it made sense and got you back to reviewing things. Part of the process I also find helpful is this kind of back & forth which keeps us in touch with what we do. I learned a lot from FT71 and Convergent. I started journaling like this on Convergent, as they have a strong trader development & accountability program with a journaling area where you can do this and interact with each other. I also found the CT ES stats helpful and for a while, I had the StalkZones in my charts. All this adds layers of knowledge, even if it's not what I use directly now, although I'm sure it's part of the computation that goes on in the background. These days the only market/ vol profile market analysis I'm paying attention to besides my own is Smashelito's. He's quite insightful and tracks levels which is handy and his Substack is free. I never participated in / paid attention to the CT trading room chat. I've always found trading rooms where people are calling out their trades counterproductive in the end. Al Brooks' room was helpful in the beginning, and I am on PriceAction Rose's and Al's         channels, but I never or hardly ever follow them during the trading session. Rose puts up some good analyses I look at outside of trading hours. The only trader I really check during the day, and to whom I still subscribe, is Adam Mancini. His style is totally different from mine, although I think his approach and trading principles apply to mine insofar as I operate at a much smaller level, with different levels between his levels, my own derivative levels. The general concepts apply, and his analyses are always spot on big picture. I left CT because I couldn't justify the cost given that all I was doing there was journaling, and in the end, a place like this gets many more views, which is the most important thing for accountability IMO. I know that on average 87 people see what I'm writing here per day, and that has a bigger impact. I don't track rolling pivots, etc. But I do track the daily pivot zone every day and put it in my Tradingview charts. As far as the OR, he has different times for different products, as I understand it. I took a quick look just now in his book and pulled this up. But I do recall him saying 10 min for the ES, perhaps it's elsewhere in the book or Youtube, I don't remember. Pretty sure he uses(used) 10 min. It works. Linda Raschke: I asked my wife to gift me Street Smarts for Christmas & read parts of it so far. I've seen a few of her videos, maybe even a webinar she did here, a long time ago. Occasionally I see her husband's tweets go by in my timeline (and her cryptic ones too). Congrats on passing the evals. For me it's an ongoing process, as you can see! I find it hard to do real-time or live accountability partnering, but if you're on         or something and want to connect DM me. Cheers.

Hi Wolf,

Wow .....sorry for the DELAYED response - amazing how time FLIES by How's trading going? Are you still using the ACD method by mark fisher and the Mike Valtois ORDE FLOW tools?
