Orlando Workshop: Back to Basics – Docs & Replay

Thanks to everyone who joined the live stream this weekend: Orlando Workshop – Back to Basics + Price Action Coaching Introduction.

If you missed it, here’s the replay:

(Video loaded to where I start.)

During the session, I walked through a couple of documents that are worth revisiting.

Below are the links. Click through to Google Drive, then go to File → Make a copy to save them:


Chart Mark-up Video


Trade Tracker

  • Click File and Make a Copy
  • Initial Risk = Stop distance in points
  • Actual Risk = How far trade went against (You can call it MAE)
  • ABR = Average Bar Range (You can use ATR) measure of average bar size on your execution timeframe

Word Document

You can use any word document – I like Google Docs because it has handy tab feature. Paste screenshots into it. So you will be able to observe your process over time and also run stats on your spreadsheet.

Suggestions

  • Start with marking up trades with current options.
  • Slowly add more options over time.

    Thank you Tim,

    what a fantastic doc you have provided. very useful and helpful.

    Question 1 – I’m using Tradingview, do you know what Indicator i have to use to get ABR ? I tried to search for it. but couldn’t get luck to find it. Please help me out to get Indicator Name for ABR. FYI, I have got ATR Indicator.

    Question 2 – What does C/R represent on Column G ? is it Continuation/Reversal?

    Question 3 – What does BO/FT/NO represent on Column G ? is it Break out/Fallow thru/No Follow thru?

    I started utilizing this from today. I’ll reach out you if do have any further question. Thank you so much as always 🙂

      Hi mate – thanks for your questions;
      – ABR: I have one of my blog you are free to use just search
      – Yes Continuation v Reversal
      – It refers to the signal bar you used for entry = Breakout, Follow-through, none (opposite breakout) | I will discuss more in our coaching sessions and in Orlando

    Hey Tim, really appreciate your blog and the content you make. I have a question about the spreadsheet.

    How do you handle taking partial profit on a trade? Is it multiple entries?

    ex. 2R swing trade, but you took partial profits at 1R

      Hi mate thanks for the feedback! I’m not sure if there is a perfect system for it – you could squeeze it into one entry – but I like to put each additional entry as a separate trade – I would encourage that at the beginning so you can see if your issue might be your add-ons. Once the add-ons and scale-ins are under control can squeeze them together. What do you do now?

        Hi Tim,

        I’ve been splitting them up and giving them their own entry. What about the situation where it is one entry and 2+ exits?
