Picrel is all ya need.
Not really but its 90%. The rest is observing the tape every day until you no longer get surprised and/or reading a technical analysis book and sticking with a reliable pattern.
But it's also hard to internalize picrel, I've read through the short article this is from "the phantom of the pits" many times over the past few months. It only now began to sink in, and im still reading this article over and over every night.
I'm on month 9 of trading last few hours of ny session es futures every day. Think I've only missed the days I had to work the lunch shift, and a handful more because sickness or vacation. But I can say with confidence I've lost fake money at every vix level, hell even the week where vix was at ytd ATL.
The last week where I followed picrel is how you succeed, I always overcomplicated things and thought doing more would help. Nah all ya need is a grasp on candle movement and picrel, then add to the winners, heck even the flat market yesterday saw me break even where normally I'd crash and burn. I did a handful of stupid trades that were the opposite of picrel, so shoulda been green, but break even is much better than crashing out, just for yo mental capital if anything.
Long story short if a retard pizza boy can do this, so can you. Don't need to stare at charts all day, just catch a few hours. I like the last few hours then one trade in the last ten minutes where they gotta settle trades so that can likely just be choppy flat at best. Persistence is everything, along with rebounding from failures quick. thats the killer of dreams bro, staying down when ya get knocked down.
