Template

Here is a simple template.

I decided with this one to include two more Elder's indicators because I would like to explain (also) the Bull and Bear indicators and how useful could be.

Feel free to choose any other and replace them, but please do not add 5 more just because it's a nice view, it's a system, not a Christmas three.

Quotes from the book 1

Quotes from the Come into my trading room:

Momentum trading has a built-in psychological contradiction that’s deadly to most people. On the one hand, this fast game, like infantry fighting or video game playing, is best suited for young people with strong hunting instincts, capable of abandoning themselves to the game.

On the other hand, momentum trading requires the cold detached discipline of a professional card counter in a casino. Successful momentum trading, like professional gambling, is a boring business. The ability to accept small steady gains—essential for momentum trading—is very rare.

Few people can walk away from the table just as the party gets going.

The crowd of amateurs around him is having a lot of fun losing.
Successful momentum trading requires great discipline. You must identify a price move, hop aboard without waiting for a better confirmation, and jump off as soon as that move slows down. The longer you wait to identify the momentum, the less money is left for you.

Taking profits is stressful because of a normal human tendency to hold out for a little more and then beat yourself up for having left too early.

A momentum trader needs a set of technical rules, a money management system, and iron discipline to enter when the time is right and exit without regrets after hitting his profit target or a loss limit.

 
 
 

What is it?

What is the Impulse and how it works? pretty easy it' a combination of three indicators as you see n the pictures, two are set for the trading TF and one for the higher TF.

What you see on the candles is just the indicators painting the bars according with the preset conditions .
