you guys have no idea what your talking about. you analysis of the short float is ridiculous.

I small suggestion that my increase ur profits... stop trading during the daily doldrums (1130-130pm) and see if yo u are more successful. seems like you over trade at the wrong times.

these journals are meant for the creator. He doesnt need to "prove" anything to you. Stop bashing him. On another note, I also trade the ES using Fib retracements. Primarily looking for ambush setups. (50-61.8%) These strategies work great for trending markets. Having said that, I would...

Anyone have any information regarding this firm? I know there is 1 small thread on this subject. The owners ( Rick and Ernie) checked out to be pretty reputable. Has anyone joined their firm or know anything about their training? Thanks for the help

then again, i would sell into strength. or at least sell half and ride the rest for a free trade.

funny how all the people telling you that 1 point stops dont work are such newbies in the game. been doing this for 10 years now. just makes me sick when i hear bad advice

I seriously beg to differ. I consistently use 1-1.5 pt stops on scalping with a trarget limit of the same. IF you are good at your technicals and can time reversals, it is a very profitable strategy. I hit over 75 percent on my ES scalp trades. And I use even a less stop (.50-.75) when I trade...
