    Added a BETA version incorporating Robert H's request for a stop order to be sent with the initial order. If anyone wants to play with this and make sure it's doing what it's supposed to do, please post back. This will likely be the version I make a how-to video on, so if a few people say this is working correctly, I can get that done. Full notes are in the original post under "UPDATES" section. From a prior post, additional hotkeys for modifying the stop-orders. IMPORTANT: If you use a physical stop order you *must* update the position size when you scale in or out, otherwise the order will flip your position. If anyone knows how to prevent that with a command (e.g. only sell/cover to zero position), please let me know. STOP ORDER MODIFIERS: - On "Orders" window (shows pending orders not fulfilled, the stop will be here), double-click the STOP and it'll load into the MONTAGE - Execute a hotkey with the following command Update Existing Stop Order with New Position (e.g. to be done after a scale out): Share=Pos;Replace; Change Stop Position to New Price + Update Position Size (if changed): In This Order: - Orders Window --> Double Click Stop - Double Click area on chart you want to set the stop price to (or type it into the price field) - Execute the hotkey with this command: Share=Pos;StopPrice=Price;Replace;

    Great overall high level assessment Nas and I am in 100% agreement. Market seems tenuous here. Lots of fundamentals suggesting market may drop (Europe weakening economy, more tariff talk, bull market long in the tooth, interest rate hikes question ete ete), - a path higher seems unlikely....consolidation which means chop, especially on news flow. Also looking at high yield bonds HYG - starting to drop another ominous sign for bulls. Thanks for posting set ups. YETI - earnings on the Nov 29th - I do not like holding through an ER - just saying. NTGR - building a base and looks interesting BLL - agree strong uptrend, RSI showing it is pretty overbought, need a pullback for entry as you suggest ADP - jmho - looks like it is in no-mans land right now. CROX - really extended here, needs pullback to take an entry ANAT - tough chart to trade...looks like it might be range bound. I posted a youtube video showing some stuff I am watching including maybe a bounce in oil. Can play with XLE, OIH, GUSH, UWT or individual oil names - pick your poison. Next OPEC meeting coming up in Dec and they will likely talk about production cuts.

    Hi @Mike B... "not blowing up my account" is a negative goal, how you think about your goals can influence how you feel about it, and whether you achieve it. "Not blowing up my account" could mean you are trading with a fear to lose mindset, and it not necessarily means to grow your account or become a profitable or consistent trader. Some people says that negative goals don't work because is not the way our brains are wired to work. For instance, "don't think of an elephant" ...You weren't thinking of one before, but now that you've been told not to it's impossible not to. Negative goals like: I will quit smoking, I will not eat as much, I won't spend so much money, etc. are almost never attained, your mind visualizes yourself smoking, eating, and spending, and that's what you end up doing. I remember once in a flight they announced "Remember NOT to forget your belongings"... I almost left my stuff in the plane... (Remember ___ to forget) Instead you need positive goals, goals where the image is of what you do want to achieve: I enjoy breathing fresh air, I will eat small healthy meals, I will save my money for …, etc. Goals in general work this way. You must visualize the goal and your mind will do whatever it can to achieve it. If you want to become a profitable or consistent as trader you have to tell your brain what do you want to achieve. Maybe you want to reframe this goal so that it sends a positive and clear direction to your brain: "Increase my account X% or X$$ daily" and it will do whatever it takes to achieve it...

    very similar to Andrews except I have a few more MA's and my background is grey. I also added the MV crossovers which comes on the .34 beta as well as the ATR on the 1 day.
