Deep Dive example, Pattern recognition development. How to train the eyes, to see the markets clearly and trade accordingly.
This is a example from my deep dive archive, making these, archiving them and studying them, and deeply understanding them has profound effects on your trading. This post is not about the style you trade. This is about how you study to be able to apply your methods, methodically with little effort in a flow state mentality.
I will share what i truly believe can get you there. It is not easy but if truly applied it can change your trading and even more so your life. I am firm believer to conquer the markets (Ie extract $ with a proven strategy consistently) you must become the the best version of yourself both physically and mentally. It is a battle and you must sharp and aware because anything can happen at any time! Develop your methodology and train like most won't.
1) Know your patterns, hand draw them on paper, jot down any rules, triggers, tp's. Try to really envision the pattern. Note the exact price action you would look for at trigger level. Note rules for stop management you would take. (@tntsunrise was a firm believer in hand drawing patterns to start to train your eyes to see them)
2) Draw the patterns on blank chart on @TradingView, I will attach video on how to do this exactly. Practice until all triggers and coordinates can be nailed to the tick, (use fib tools, click and drag feature etc.). Note exact same things, from rules, to trigger, price action, ema theory, volume, rsi etc. Save charts, (print these) This takes a lot of time to develop, think 1000 drawings to nail 1-2 patterns, this could be way higher, some take a lot of time, for me the butterfly was difficult to learn and apply, especially in low time frame.
3) Deep Dives, again this a boot camp for your mind. Set crazy goals= I am going to find 300 of each pattern I trade in 10 hours. I know 6 patterns = 1800 charts. This is daunting at first, Eg suggest walks, breaks, push ups, but really try get dialed in, You will hit a flow state, at some point. Start to see new things, for me this was low tf, 5 minute, 1 minute, them sub 1 minute time frame. This was exactly how I truly started to develop my unique strategy. I suggest you do this alone. I did my first 3 when my GF was away for family trip. I did several during covid. I have thousands of printed copies and several hard drive files. This is life changing, join Stockbee and see the results this has led to. Keep in mind Qullamaggie attributes a lot to Eg's trader development, he trades as big as it gets$$$
4) Cheat sheet play book. Hard copy, short, to the point, 1-2 examples. As time passes you will not need it. Make it, refine it, look to it often. While learning I kept a note form of this on my phone, ipad. Just immerse your mind in your set ups. One thing EG always said that stuch with me. Trade set ups not stocks or futures., Tntsunrise said much the same. Find clean patterns at important structure levels try to envision the markets in a rally base rally mode and know where to hunt for big money ideas. This is life changing skill set and most rewarding mentally and most of all with profits.
4) Discuss your patterns and share ideas, If you are trading a real system, with proven results this should not be hard. You need to see the patterns you trade, entries, results and when and why the patterns worked or didn't. You need to see this everyday in every timeframe for 3-6 months. This can fast track you in my personal opinion to being able to extract $ from the markets.
I will attach additional videos, charts so please come back to this post time to time to see additional thoughts. I will attach 1 set up, I have not decided which and all I ask is for your patience it will be be below.
