9-27-2019 I have a project going and a key player is coming in today to work tommorrow. I had some last minute things to do yesterday and some today to be ready so I don’t have much time for trading. Nevertheless, I did manage to get off a few trades in the ES this morning. These trades embody...

so what is market activity? Please define.

What is that market activity?

Ok 100. Now answer the questions? @Amahrix Why does price move 1 tick? Why does it move 10 ticks? Why does it move 20 points?

Why does price move 1 tick? Why does it move 10 ticks? Why does it move 20 points? PS I’ll help get you there to 100 pages. Lol

Yes to place a trade I usually minimize any maximized screen or drawn the maximized screen down enough I can see a DOM beside it as I trade off DOM, not the chart. However, I really don’t usually need to see the screen maximized except to draw lines...channels...etc then i minimize it again. So...

Yes, that is one way and a viable way of looking at it. There is usually more than one angle when looking at things. Allow me to explain in a little more detail how I see this again: We have a successful BO of the top of a broad bear channel. Remember that bear channels function as bull flags...

Ok let’s look at it again. We got this Broad bear channel that started in the previous session. Right after the open on sept 25 (see time at bottom) a bear leg in the broad channel starts down. I have drawn a bear trend line there.

i keep them open as very small screens then maximize the one I need to really look at good and draw on which is usually the 5 min screen. I travel alot and have just gotton used to trading on a laptop. My screens are simple. No indicators but two MA’s used differently than many use MA’s.

I just use a laptop. I do often have 1, 5, 15, 30 minute charts open simultaneously but almost all trading is done on the 5 min but may occasionally pinpoint entry on the 1 minute.

Sounds good to me. It was my bad. I could use 2 or 3 good ice cold Stella Artois. If you were here I’d treat.

I actually suspected it would be or morph into a SPBL trend (small pull back bull trend) on that 9:50 big bull bar. So I started going long after getting out of my short. By the 10:50 bar it was pretty sure gonna be SPBL TREND DAY. Then that 3 bull bars starting at 10:50. That confirmed it for...

:p :D forget the labeling on my chart Overnight. I was up to around 3 a.m. this morning. I ain’t redrawing..labeling stuff again..ok ...so I will just give a simple explanation. The very first trade on my chart was a short and I exited with 1 tick profit (2 contracts but down 2.38 after the...

LUCK NEVER PLAYS ANY ROLE, IN ANYTHING, WHATSOEVER BECAUSE NARY A THING EXISTS. TO THINK OTHERWISE MAY BE

LOL HOW YOU FIGURE THAT? I was scaling up NOT averaging DOWN. Never once was I in the hole except on that first trade where I lost $2.38 AFTER COMM WERE DEDUCTED. ??? I think you got the narrative wrong here. You ok?

I took some trades this morning and by around 10:30 central time I was done. Traded ES AND MES. I have something urgent to attend to right now but I took snapshots as the trades progressed. Maybe I can post the snapshots and do some commenting tonight on these trades taken 9-26-2019.

So getting close to the close. Best to look at exiting. So I exit in two increments. 10 and 4. Total profit. At end of session taking ALL Trades into consideration. $560.00 before deducting comm. One loss after deducting the comm on that trade of ($2.38). So by scaling in using MES with a...

Ok as time progressed added 2 more. So now I am at 14 contracts long in MES. REALLY a very small position. But if I had a small account this shows how MES can be traded scaling in as price moves in my favor without averaging down. Want to see the strenght? Count bull bars from last tine price...

Next I added more contracts as time progressed towards the close. The 50 SMA IS TGE INTERMEDIATE trend of the day and if price is staying above it then underlying buying is taking place even if slope is not steep. Remember steep trends can end very quickly. SPBL trends are like watching paint...

Other trades from 9-25 added as day progresses. I am flat after getting back from town. Start back trading scaling in i.e. adding to a profitable position. Why? Relentless SPBTD (small pullback trend day). The tactic is to trade in the directionn of the trend holding and scaling in as trades...
