Mewddsltd, if you don't mind me asking, where did you get the indicator in the lower tight of your chart that displays the ATR Stop in ticks? I have looked for something similar but have not been able top find one. Thanks.

@LBJtrading

most of my indicators started as someone else's creation and became my inspiration .. I made the ATR dashboard and included it as part of all of my indicators ..

I shared an indicator to the download section .. mwIndOBVM .. it has the ATR box (but may not be enabled) .. you can find it here .. mwIndOBVMCD is most accurate on RENKO bars or other chart types where bars are uniform


you can also do a search for Chart Dynamix ATR Dashboard .. a free indicator .. this is the source of my inspiration ..

the link is here .. https://chartdynamix.com/downloads/atr-dashboard-nt8/ .. but if the moderator feels this link is inappropriate .. please delete it ..

@LBJtrading

took a few minutes to separate the ATR Stop code .. then created a small indicator to display this the ATR Stop

can send it to you via DM if you want ..

05.19.2023 - [Day 41/100] - PASS : EVAL : Day 5 : +$150 | $-27/3000

Solid day, has some hiccups here and there, ended with two good plays. +$150, no complaints here, just need to keep it up. Hope everyone had a good day!

so frustrating .. greed got the better of me today .. was up $720 and wanted to make $1000 .. ended up getting stopped-out and losing $1400 across two trades ..

but then I got to watch as the price moved back in what would have been my favor and reach the profit target in the "losing" trades ..

so the losses today have me at near break-even for the week ..

should have quit while I had the nice profit .. ARGHH!!

trading is like surfing .. I will regroup and catch a good wave tomorrow ..

@mewddsltd
- thanks! You are right, I need to keep plugging away.
- Damn that sucks... still got the rest of the week, best of luck!


05.23.2023 - [Day 42/100] - PASS : EVAL : Day 6 : +$59 | $+32/3000tt

Another decent day, has some losers and some winners. Last trade net me a big one, it hit t/p and blew past it. Oh well. Ill take the small hits and build up. Too many times I go for homeruns and it hasn't worked out for me in the long run anyways. Let see where this takes me.

Stay focus friends, we got three more days to go!

here is this morning's result of a simple scalping strategy based on the second RENKO bar of market open ..

didn't want a repeat of yesterday so stopped for the day ..
