    Tobo's discipline and consistency in 2014

    Tobo-Fisher, I'm looking forward to seeing more of your journal. Although I am still paper trading, I have a weekly target of 10 points on the NQ. If I can keep that going for three months, then I will start live. So keep on letting us know how you are doing. It's inspiring for me :)...

    6E scalping everyday

    I guess this journal never quite got off the ground. However I'm interested in following, if you decide to pick it back up. I live in California, and these past two weeks have been staying up at night and paper trading the London open. Schedule-wise Europe's open works best for me, and the 6E...

    Pacific time zone day traders – what is your schedule and sleeping habits?

    My thanks to all of you. These are exactly the types of thought-provoking responses that I needed. I am serious about making trading work, and that’s why I want to model my habits after successful traders. Because I am a night owl, and my day job starts late and ends late, I have decided to...

    Pacific time zone day traders – what is your schedule and sleeping habits?

    Guys, I have a fundamental issue with my trading that I need some help with. The issue is that I live in the Pacific time zone, and I’m not a morning person. When I wake up early, I am usually groggy and definitely not in peak condition to trade. At this point I am totally willing to...

    Professional emini trader mentor wanted!!

    Cany anyone suggest any futures markets that has these characteristics? Or perhaps FOREX pairs even? I have spent some months trying to get things to work with the ES. Although I haven't met disaster or anything like that, I would welcome a change that better matches my current pace.

    Need advice on algorithm for finding trend moves

    There's an indicator called Zig Zag that does what you are essentially looking for, or else something close to it. http://www.onlinetradingconcepts.com/TechnicalAnalysis/ZigZag.html You can probably find the code for it in whatever platform you use for your charting. Hope that helps.

    FREE ES Trading Strategy that works

    By "the Tradestation Matrix having funky logic for limit order fills", I mean in the simulator version (which is what I'm using). If the live market version of the Matrix put my limit orders at the front of the order queue, then I wouldn't need to be practicing this in the simulator first! :P

    FREE ES Trading Strategy that works

    A followup question for you Don: What order types do you use for entry and your different types of exits? I'm trying this strategy out in the Tradestation Matrix, but the logic it uses to fill limit orders is not quite accurate (it assumes your limit order is at the front of the order...

    FREE ES Trading Strategy that works

    I want to thank DonKee and the thread contributors for a very helpful and motivational thread. I first noticed this thread about a week ago, and have been trying it out by backtesting it over the past couple of months of data. For sure, my backtesting is not entirely accurate (scratches, etc)...
