He is a counter-trend RTM trader who fades the move rather than waiting for confirmation. He was caught in the HAR scam last year and lost $118K after more than doubling his trading account in a few months. This style of trading has a very high win rate and every now and then large losers. Many...

He's very legit. He's going to be featured in Active Trader magazine. He always had a long-running joke about how all his trades were based on a lucky coin. So naturally, he recognized that I was doing the same thing :p

He was my first mentor on ET. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=126492&perpage=10&pagenumber=1

My friend Robert Weinstein recently cornered me on my trading. He always suspected all that higher low/lower high, 20-bar EMA, double top/double bottom, overbought/oversold, support/resistance stuff I talked about was a bunch of crap and somehow he knew what I was really doing: I use a lucky...

I seem to recall strong Feb support off 68.xx (68.36 maybe, brain's getting old I guess), anyhow I imagine that level should bring in the buyers that wished they took the last ride up. EDIT, old contract, we've breached that level now.

Yes, I encountered these issues and still struggling to overcome them 2 years later, but the good news is I'm much improved. I'm guessing you shorted around 3pm off failed b/o through previous resistance (basically a double top). If this is where you shorted, your stop was probably 58.61...

The momentum trade ("I sold it simply because it was moving down") is not a "setup" for me; it's a condition that suddenly occurs and I react instinctively. With a setup I'm watching for a lower high in a down trend or higher low in an uptrend, or a reversal signal at a trend exhaustion zone...

Not me, OS. I'm sorry:( You must not've got my memo in late March: "...so I expected AAPL to hit $230 today, but the price action was so wide and whippy, that I was unable to trust myself on this and so I didn’t trade it at all." AAPL got too rich for my blood. I took up trading crude oil for...

You're mean! :D

Never mind, I'm out @ b/e and going to bed now :eek:

Schiz, if you're awake, tell me if your QuoteTracker is working. Mine stopped updating and I'm trading off nothing but the DOM price action, long @ .52 and I'm bailing here if it doesn't take off.

We haven't tested it on ES or any other futures. Just a specific universe of stocks. My husband spent the past year and a half at least programming systems based on several strategies I wanted tested: narrow range breakouts, opening range breakouts, RTM, hammers/shooting star reversal signals...

This is my livelihood. I'm not being paid to demonstrate live trading for people. I called sim trades and live trades on CL for a period of time for very specific reasons, having nothing to do with demonstrating whether or not I'm the real deal. I had a couple wee little ES trades today out...

Do you trade stocks in extended hours off what you hear going on in an earnings call? I'm always tempted to trade stocks after hours on earnings, but it's always crazy action. I've never listened in on an earnings call while watching the price action. Is it helpful and does the call generally...

I wanted a breakdown of 75.95, but buyers came in solid off 76.12 and I instinctively bailed, there was no thinking involved at all because I was in an ES position at the same time, had taken off 2 of that just a minute earlier and had 3 remaining that were now breaking down the RTH low and I...

It's not secret, it's Robert Weinstein's room he opened it when ET chat went down. They trade stocks mainly. I rarely "hang out" there, because the window covers a good chunk of my futures charts. I drop in after the NYMEX close. I was there early today and stayed most of the day because...

Arjun!!! You are my "next level" hero! I chanted your name during my morning meditation for months! I'll take more money/large size over profit factor any day :D :D I just posted today on ycxc16588's thread:

Yeah I realized that lately. I'm not posting P/L any more. I post my trades because some here have posted trades for me or call their trades live and it was so incredibly helpful to me, I like to give back something to the discussion. But you're right, how I trade is pretty basic stuff and...

The action past week reminds me a lot of Fall 2008. If you're a day trader, just follow the price action, don't worry about predictions. Stay positioned with the intraday trend and you'll be catching a good wave whether it's up or down. This is trading nirvana after that stagnant mess we...

That is Bighog's b/o trade and it works so well and I'm not sure if I ever got myself to play that trade. I do remember leaving more money on the table than I ever made by NOT taking that setup. I think one day when I thought the +6 was just "too high" to buy, it ended up 20 pts higher by the...
