    Here is the last trade. It occurred to me that I had not posted a chart VTDT trade yet. Again, it was good for 2 points only.

    Thanks. Going to work on my money management. I was just looking back over the day. I saw most of the signals, but the one's I didn't take are the one's that produced. Caught this last one though. Going to ride it out and I am done. Have enjoyed typing with you. I'll be back next week...

    Signal occurred on the 3M chart and produced nicely. Only an IDIOT would not take this nice signal. 6 Point move. NOTE TO SELF: TRUST THE SIGNAL ON THE 3M CHART :D

    Breakout - I was wondering. Is the run up occurring now a result of short covering on Friday afternoon. I'm really out of my league with this question? Doesn't really matter because I got the signal, but it is curious.

    Just in case anybody is following.... There was a nice signal to go long at 14:03. VTDB. Price made a double bottom, STOC and MACD made higher lows. I did not take this for two reasons. 1. The signal was the first against a strong move down. 2. It was against the major trend of the...

    Breakout - Thanks for posting this. It really helped me see what your doing and I think we are pretty much on the same page except your money mangement matches your system. One issue is that these trades on the 1M chart are mostly reliable for 2 points. Yet 1 point stop seems too close...

    Hopefully everyone has not fallen asleep. I find it amazing that my trade went exactly as planned, but stopped just one tick short of my profit target. I'm in this til the end for evaluation purposes. If bottom holds here, there is still room. It don't look good though. Stopped out at...

    3M Chart. I call this a BBB trade (Bottom Buster Breakout) I will look for only 2 points here with my SL @2. This setup has the potential to begn a reversal. I have not fully experimented with it on the 3M chart. I will attempt to get a picture in to describe the BBB chart. The move could...

    Keep you eye on the 3M chart. It could generate a long signal. This would be VTDB trade as described.

    Remember I am the head idiot here.....sooooo.....that means when advice is given about trading hours, it is not given in EST time, rather central time. So I can look for a trade until 12:30 EST?? Is this correct. I just figured the electronic nature of this contract worked a little differently...

    Entry would be @985.25, looking for 987.25 Again, I did not take this. Too risky. This trade would have been successful as price passed thru 987.25 at 11:55 EST. :)

    Thanks. I realize the PL ratio is not where it should be. This is one the issues. I don't always go for only 2 points profit. I would really appreciate any advice on this. Thanks very much Breakout.

    I set my Stop Loss (SL @ -2) and my profit target (TP @+2) I will try to be clearer in the future. I am trying to post as close to my actual trades as possible and it is not easy. Too much going thru my head.

    Long @ 988.25 SL -2/TP +2 VTDB Well this is going nowhere. (Except the wrong way). The signal looked fairly strong. Guess it just can't battle upward. Stopped out as I type. I wanted to point out that this looked strong because I also got a simultaneous signal on the 3M chart...
