Foresight patience calls is about trading set ups called before the trade is opened .It is like a set and forget strategy , so read on google search about set and forget trading.


It eliminates the psychological issues of trading or bypasses them .It avoids this snake oil of timing the markets , market timing does not work , it has mind trap issues .

So read following threads to understand the drivers of these trades.

Professional trader:Good trading is boring , I have nothing to do all week except wait wait wait patiently , for the righ entry

Professionals understand trading phsychology

Amateur :Good trading is exciting: being scalped 3 times a day , then taking small profits and large losses getting scalped.Stress is good ,Let's say you're walking down a path and a tiger jumps out at you. Instantly, you perceive a threat and adrenaline is released. The tiger emotions is exciting , you fear ,get attacked by market , then I win .It is more like the exciting chase before the sex.

I sit and wait for entries

This is how I want to trade.

I am researching what you mean by time the markets, I don't think I am trying to do that.

What I am trying to do is 1) go with the trend 2) find the right entry (little offside or no offside with my price quickly being right and going into profit)

I am not good at finding the right entry, sometimes I find a support level and maybe the price goes 30 ticks below that, then goes into big profit (so I get the trend right, and general area of support right) but then again on the switch side, sometimes price alone seems to work, a level gets hit and boom profit on its way.

With both of these scenarios I'm trying to study how to get in, price alone?

Pick your level , enter the trade , buy a put option if long and wait (even for 5 days) until it gives you a profit.

What you are trying to do is catch perfect entry , so it goes in your intended direction immediately , that is snake oil strategy .It works fine in one directional market ,but kills traders when it breaks downIt is called market timing.

Ok I am trying to catch perfect entry and it might look like im trying to use of find snake oil strategy, but its because I am new to trading and want to minimize loss, risk etc

I don't have a big account, I'd like to trade long term as you said, wait for my price to go into profit, maybe I can only do this trading the mini's on my account. I might have to try that from tmrw onwards

so you doing this? http://www.investopedia.com/articles/optioninvestor/09/bear-vertical-put-spread.asp
looking for prices to fall before 19th may

Yes

Everytime I buy a put spread , I get a potential 300 to 400 profit , for 100 approximate risk.That profit covers me , for additional longs if price breaks down .

Let us say I add three long positions at 12400 and 12300 , 12200 , both with weekly put options long , my net risk is potentiaslly 350 ticks approximately .This put spread will pay 365 ticks profit , at 1.2200.

This is how I trade .The put spread is for some protection.

I could add 3 longs , if price retraces , they could make about 300 ticks on any reversal back up , after a fall.:smart:
