MORE - Comment Codes
the only problem with that is no 2 trades are alike. you could have the exact same setup, same looking chart, and even the same time of day. the outcome is nothing more than a probability. the only filter i place on my setups is time of day. apart from that i will take every setup i get because there is no way of knowing the outcome.
Many Thanks for everyone's Replies.
If anyone can give some more input into my 'Comment Codes' that I'll list below.
It's for a excel order sheet I'm creating.
I won't go into detail now about it,,, purely as that would be a different post, and a lot to type
.... but the reason for this original post was to get some bullet point phrases related to Entries,, and also exits actually.
I'll list them now below,
and if anyone wants to look at the sheet (excel 2007 xlsm),, macro enabled,,
I'll upload to server soon.
Here's the list so far,,,
