Clear chart. Clear head. Better decisions.

Most traders have too much on their chart. Conflicting signals, indicator soup, setups that look different every time you look at them.

BareChart is built around the opposite idea — strip the chart back to what actually works, then execute it the same way, every session.

I trade live, every day, London and New York Open. This is what I use, what I build, and what I write about.

The trade — M1 entry M1 — price rejection at Day Open with Inside Bar (IB), Acceleration Correction visible in eWaves, 3.20R exit ...

M1 trade entry — Day Open flip and ONH break

Buy the dips, sell the rallies

I trade the London Session on GER40 and I’m normally done after an hour and a half — although there are plenty of times when the action comes later in the day. I choose to limit my time in the market. The process starts with a weekly review of the higher time frames — D1 and H1 — but my main interest is M15 for direction and target, and M1 for entry. I’ll try to align the trade with Elliott waves, but this post is focused on the trade setup itself. ...
