Austin, Those are different extensions than you use in ES, correct ? Still 377 & 512 ES ? I assume those CL extensions you've found over time to be helpful/accurate ? thanks

LOL. Really ? IMO, Nodoji has to be one of the most knowledgable and generous traders here. Obviously our opinion of value and gratitude differ.

elliott while i wait. looking for the 123 reversal to go short. maybe. :)

Nope, not CF. Rande's book is pretty cheap , maybe $ 35 if i remember correctly. Not sure if that is lucrative, you'll have to ask your friend Denise.

free info on his website. his book is quite good ,imo http://www.tradersstateofmind.com/trader_psychology.html

Time sure flies. Been about a month since last update. I've been doing a little sim trading but mostly working on my revised trading plan. It's taking longer than i expected due to work and life's little interruptions. The attention to detail this plan has also requires more thought and...

I'm about half way through Rande's book. So far good stuff. He has free articles and webinars that all address the traders psych issues. The book is cheap, imo and might be of interest to you. http://www.tradersstateofmind.com/mindful_trading.html

nkhoi, You seem to feed me info right when i'm ready for it. The majority of my time has been spent watching the 1 minute chart or faster tick charts in fast markets. In the past week or so i've been re thinking this and am starting to spend more time to find set ups off the 5 minute and...

JP, Thanks for the chart. Nkhoi, Good to hear from you. I have a 5 min chart on another monitor and look at 5000 vol and some higher time frames also. I recently added the second monitor. I was hesitant because i don't want info overload. But i'm liking it and actually do less...

Thanks for the post NoD. JP, Great to see you're still here ! Thanks for the cme info. I'll spend some time with it. Here's a chart from today. Been awhile since i've put one up. 1st trade was a failed b/o of a swing hi and at prior resistance area. I tightened my stop too quickly so...

Hi Hooti, Thanks for sharing your process. It's really great to hear from you and know you're still trading. I have alot of charts with my PA observations that are filed under my various set up tabs in a binder. I like your hard right edge approach. I used to print a chart of every...

the past two weeks i've traded CL. one day in sim, the rest Live. net after commish. first week +$ 179 this week + $ 248 So far CL trades a bit different than NQ. True breakouts work very quickly and provide good R:R. I don't face the uncertainty about whether i should chase these moves...

Perhaps i should have mentioned this is only my second week trading CL. and i've been trading November. Just realized awhile ago all the volume is in Dec. wonder when that happened. Consider this my disclaimer for all future posts. Rookie trader- For entertainment purposes only. :D

that whole a.m. drop looked very elliot abc corrective. if we hold 91.70 thn looking for a close back near 93.00. break 1.70 then 91.30 just making conversation. flat at the moment and wasn't quick enough to catch the drop

thanks, that makes perfect sense to me. I've been tightening my stop once profitable also. Lot's of resistance at 92.00-92.50 and yet it doesn't seem to want to go lower either.

You had a stop at .77 ? If i'm looking at same chart there's some support possibly as low as .75. just curious.

Any elliot wave traders here ? Long term chart attached. Projections anybody ?

Still in a drawdown last week. My thought is that the low volatility is part to blame plus some impatient and bad trades on my part. The vix is currently around 14. I'd guess a better trading environment for me would be a vix above 16 or 17 at least. Just guessing. Last week i decided to...

Regular moderate exercise works best for me as far as getting to sleep. Waking up in the middle of the night and having a hard time getting back to sleep is more common problem for me. Could be stress i think. I have hypnosis/relaxation tapes i'll listen to if i can't fall back asleep after...
