Columbus Day- little volume, no stochastic divergence setup , therefore no trades... NOTES - find and download a stochastic divergence indicator which will alert me and therefore make it easier to find divergences . - spend more time trading this on Market Replay. @Handle123 @Redneck

B/c ive traded the ES before, for a year , and that is the instrument im most comfortable with. Also , my commissions for stocks are a lot higher than for futures.

Hi there ET member, So I am very proud to announce that this is my first journal ever, despite having been "trading" for the past two years. I will mention that this is a live sim journal, not a "real money" journal. My model is based on stochastic divergence. I have traded the ES for...

Yes, but I was referring specifically to the reliability of the Market Replay data?

Hi there, First, I do all my backtesting manually (since I do not know how to program). Second, I have limited historical data from vendors, so this has resorted to me using Ninjatrader Market Replay data. My methodology is simply to look at the data displayed from the Market Replay feed, and...

Get well soon jas.

@Al_Bundy what is his "method" is it price action based? or looking at patterns? or market profile? I read the articles on his blog, and they are very generic....no charts of his previous trades etc...

you sure?

Hey @Al_Bundy How much are you paying for this mentorship? please keep us posted.. Thank You, IWDI

Thanks Hooti. You better believe I will keep after it. I am currently backtesting/optimizing a personal version of @Handle123 's simple 9/18 ema model. Then I will start my own journal. All the best you! and this Journal by @jas_in_hbca is very inspirational, I love seeing amateur retail...

probably not a good setup for an amateur though?

Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to reply. I really appreciate it. I have read in someone else's post, that they also deem Al Brook's material as "difficult". Are you able to explain how it is difficult? I have a set of rules for every b/t. Rules for Entry,Exit,Stops etc...

OK so ACTION STEPS: Continue manually backtesting H123's model Learn to identify the major price patterns (H&S, Triple Tops/Bottoms) Start a journal (Once I have performed another 200 trades of backtesting with two multiperiod samples) Sim trade, sim trade, sim trade Read The book by John Hill...

Handle123 I sincerely apologize for any inconvienience, that was obviously not my intention. I have backtested your method (slight variation of) where N=99, and will continue to b/t another two multiperiod samples each with N=90. Will you ZAPP my anus if I ask a question I did not ask...

@Handle123 @slugar Once I have completed backtesting (b/t) a model that shows promise (win ratio, average win/loss) then yes I will start a journal. Thank You.

@Handle123 Sorry if you perceive me as a pain is the ass/arse .......just super eager about your method

Great! Thanks Jas! I will take a look at it... Btw congrats on your excellent development as a trader...you seem to be a great trader in your own right.

Sorry @Handle123 I am looking at the August 27 chart you posted : http://www.elitetrader.com/et/index.php?attachments/simple-system-aug27-2015-png.156258/ what does the black dashes connected by the thin line represent? (At 8h41) Are you trying to measure the swing length? Thanks, IWDI

Colored pencils? sounds painful..so every day you would spend hours drawing charts at your desk? lmao Could tell me specifically which John Hill Book I should buy? You seem to be like Don yourself, I like chatting to you too. Your time won't be done on Earth for a very long time...

LOL that trading model is older than me!! YOU developed it? as in not based on any other trading model?
