    Matt, I've been using a Heikin Ashi chart setup in TradingView that you sent out a while ago (it might have been months ago).  The buy sell indicators are crazy good. Can't figure out exactly how they are constructed, but it works great, so I use it.  Thanks.

    I struggle with trading the Heikin chart as the bar size in them is different from the real bar size. Any guidance on how to enter/exit would be greatly appreciated.

    That depends on your style

    That depends on your style and trading plan.  Are you comfortable trading against the trend or prefer to enter only in the direction of the predominant trend? Etc, etc. I sell credit spreads (both puts and calls). So I'm primarily just looking for shorter term extremes for entries that increase my probability of success.

    Depends on your account size and other factors. I target around .25% of Net Liq in premium on a given trade, with the intent to take profits when 50% of the premium is decayed.  But it depends on my confidence level for that particular day / trading environment. Yesterday, I quadrupled down on 4080 call sale on that initial push up after the print. I normally wouldn't do that, but the situation seemed to call for it.

    FWIW - my trade sizing is quite risk averse at .25% of net liq, but it withstood the trial by fire that was 2022. I finished last year solidly positive. The small bets allow for defending positions, when necessary (doubling down, rolling out, etc).

    Of course, right after I post, the system generates one of the few failed trades I've seen in a while. It happens with all systems, but it's guaranteed if I publicly suggest a strategy

    DigiNomad - got this message when i tried to view your chart. I have a free TV account. If others can see it guess that's why I can't. Thoughts?

    I second that, thank you.  I'm a returning member who just joined recently, and I searched for Heikin and Matt but couldn't find it on the site.
