Greetings! Not sure if this is the correct place to post this but I am having an issue with DAS charts. I use a multiple timeframe layout and need to maximize the space within my charts to see wicks clearly. The candles are squished small on my charts. I played around with settings and notice when I remove the Camarilla Pivot Points, the charts appear full size again. But I utilize the pivot points and need them on my charts. Help please! Anyone familiar with this? -

I recently made an account with IBKR. It is an IB-UK margin account which is supposed to have a 4:1 leverage. Everything it is been approved with my account by the way. I have above 25.000k dollars in my account. They do not give me leverage and I am not even able to short my full initial equity of account. I message them and they send me just an article to read. What I have to do? This is a serious problem I need help. -

Hi All! I am a complete newbie to day trading and actually, today was my first morning actually sending orders on the simulator, 3/4 of which were successful (beginner's luck kicking in!). I am working on the 9/20 and ABCD strategies and wanted to know what are the best scanners in Trade Ideas that we can use for identifying the stocks for this strategy. Really appreciate your help! -
October 2nd Trading Day Though I am green today it wasn't a very good trading day. First error was trading at all today. Though I had the minimum hours of sleep, I woke up exhausted and my Garmin watch such all my vitals look horrible (Poor sleep quality, lowest HRV this year, high resting pulse, etc...) But I traded any way. I was watching TSLA, NVDA and BABA. TSLA was setting up for a really good rising devil and I had my finger on the trigger waiting for the price to reach VWAP. I am not sure where I turned my attention (another stock or the 10sec chart on my NinjaTrader), but by the time I looked back at TSLA the VWAP was reached and price already fell. This is not considered an error. This happens sometimes. To go short now would only give a 1.5 Reward to Risk ratio. But I had FOMO and went short, which was error number 2. At least I went with half the number of normal shares since there was a long way to my stop now. The price dropped and reached my target. If I entered where I was suppose to this would have been a 2R profit and I would have gotten all out. Since I was only at 1.4R I only partialed and hoped for more of a drop even though there was no reason to hope for that. That was mistake number 3. The price started to rise and my 10sec chart looked like it was going to keep rising so I covered. At least, at that point, I was smart enough to shutdown my platform and call it a day. Yes, it was a positive 1R day. But not proud of myself today. 10 second candle chart: I hope everyone had a good trading day. Have a good night. Rob C
