Follow my journey as I attempt to retire my wife through trading.

@I_Am_The_ICT And to think I almost went down this path

@chriswithans If you work in tech, then you know that most H1Bs are used to lower the cost of engineering positions

@Kings__onone @TheJadeWarwick @seankelly25 I should clarify that I’m implying extreme definitions of greater jihad, which absolutely exist.

[John @ElliottTrader11]

@Kings__onone @TheJadeWarwick @seankelly25 It’s called jihad. It doesn’t matter if their heads are put on spikes afterwards.

[John @ElliottTrader11]

I don’t think that matters. The point is to do something in the name of god, thus granting them access to heaven. Would they be defeated quickly? Probably. But would that instill massive fear within the country? Most definitely. Would it be considered a huge victory for the opposition? Of course.

@tahaalasemi Too easy. Should have asked him how to use a smith chart to stabilize a system

@libsoftiktok @elonmusk Charlotte has a history of hiding bad news. There was even a murder at my apartment down there, and there wasn’t even a local story. The Democrat mayor and the media work together to make it happen

@RoryTyer She will be ok. Have faith. I know it’s scary, I would be too if it were my daughter. But you will look back at it in a week and be glad it’s over.

@PIPMUNCH Nevermind. Wow, look at that. Judas swing into Daily FVG and C.E. of BISI on the other side of the curve. So precise.

[John @ElliottTrader11]

@PIPMUNCH Great trade. Regarding the NYO Judas swing, did you anticipate that ending within the daily FVG? Or did you see some other PDA?

[John @ElliottTrader11]

I can't stand @tradingview paper trade mode. Absolutely terrible lag. @NinjaTrader how's yours?

[John @ElliottTrader11]

@I_Am_The_ICT Before I see it, I'm guessing you traded the range between 4H and Daily PDA

[John @ElliottTrader11]

Zoom out. Price was using a daily wick as the range, with the wick high being the draw on liquidity. And if you zoom out to the 12 hour timeframe, you will see that price was in a high timeframe MMBM with this wick being at the original consolidation. It wasn’t going to be bearish until we at least took out that high to complete the model

@I_Am_The_ICT I’m reading the Mistborn series by @BrandSanderson . I wish he would write less interesting books so I could go to bed earlier. 🤷

[John @ElliottTrader11]

@I_Am_The_ICT Beautiful

[John @ElliottTrader11]

Someday I will trade the 1-minute like @I_Am_The_ICT . But for now, I think it’s best that I stay on the 3 and 5 minute. My consistency seems to be a lot better on those time frames.

[John @ElliottTrader11]

This morning’s silver bullet, is it a good example of why you should leave a runner on

[John @ElliottTrader11]

@champagneszn777 The range was defined with a daily wick. It looks clean on the three minute chart.

[John @ElliottTrader11]

@PIPMUNCH I'm going to try writing those down too. I feel like I'm getting biased too much with so many levels on my chart. Sometimes I just need to see only candles.

[John @ElliottTrader11]

I’m missing the context on models. For example, on OTE, breaker, unicorn… I feel like I see them everywhere, but perhaps with the wrong macro conditions. I stopped trading breakers because they continually end up being retracement and stopping me out. The other two make sense, but I think you have to spot turning points to be consistent with them. Like with a unicorn, you first have to spot a sell model. Many times what I think is a unicorn was actually a continuation, and I get stopped out
