Honestly, I think you've already got it in your head. You've said enter after 5 pips across DO (or was or DP?), R1/S1 TP, SL as usual I don't know about LOL, you're calculating R:R. I really think we need you, a profitable trader, vs a type of trader. I of course can be wrong. I am a lot. But from where I'm standing, even if I do have ideas of my own, day traders use pivots. This is known. You know R:R. I think I can speak for most of us if not all of us when I say: "We want what you have to give. So take a deep breath, and just concentrate on the things you have mentioned, and what you already know."
The way I see it (and always have) is that we are here to help each other, and I can help in one area, but you are helping in a much greater area by opening DP and S&R levels from DP to traders who don't know how to trade them and/or may know about them, but never had a system, like myself. Vague system at best.
I will do what I can to help, but IMHO you are more on track than me by far. I've depended on input from successful traders I considered friends but haven't shared as much with me in the years I've known them as you have in the last days. I'd rather scalp the H1 timeframe with you than be on my own or having people I've considered friends who would rather run my life than freely share like I see here on this forum.
zznbrm recently told me I shouldn't be in Forex trading, and that he didn't give in the group I started because that would be condoning me being in Forex when he doesn't think I should be. Frankly, it's not up to him to make that decision. It's my decision to be in Forex, my decision to live like I do, my decision to be here. Some may say that Forex is only for the rich. I highly disagree. I have worked hard but gotten little in return from those I've shared with. I can't put up with that any longer. I can't afford to share and have no input and actually be judged by someone who I've considered a friend, who would rather tell me that if he gave me a life preserver that would be condoning me swimming, so he sees the responsible thing to do is let me drown instead. Great friend huh? BTW, it's not like I was always in this position. I had a job paying about $20/hr first 3 years I studied Forex. But I knew that career was playing out, so I started studying Forex and MQL4. I don't see that as a bad thing. I see it as looking ahead and trying to be prepared. And then for someone I consider a friend to tell me that, it's his and others sitting back and not giving but instead judging that, well, I don't even want to go further than that. I can say I disagree with him and with anybody that would try to run my life.
On another, more positive note, does anybody wanna share? Cool. Me too. Let's do. Anybody that doesn't like sharing probably wouldn't come here anyways. They'd get downright upset by all the giving going on. How condoning LOL.
You on the other hand are a breath of fresh air with how you share. Thank you SO much! I hope if anything I have encouraged you that you CAN do it. Heck, you already are!
... and you ARE helping those of us that seem stuck in the wilderness because successful traders don't usually help those of us that aren't already wealthy. I've worked hard for years, and wasn't always in this position. If zznbrm ever gave as much as you have when he was in my group all that time (and he's just one of the well-known FF coders and traders I had in my group), just maybe, just maybe, I wouldn't have gotten to this point. Not to say I wouldn't be here, but I know I've worked hard for years towards a goal despite my own problems, and been willing to share. It's rare, which is why I love this place. People like yourself are cornerstones of this place.If I haven't said it enough, thank you for sharing. Sincerely.
Kindest regards,
Don
