How many trades is this so far? Its almost kind of strange that the PnL isn't moving anywhere.

Nope, this wasn't me. Did you tell him anything juicy that you're willing to share again? :D Thank-you again for the thorough write-up. It is interesting that you call this all KISS because really, when you describing it in detail, it is quite complex and reliant on an incredible amount of...

Yes, this is a huge part of what I do, playing ES and NQ off of eachother. Both of these points are excellent, but the devil really is in the details. Clearly you aren't going to give away the details, but honestly, with trading, everything actually works. Since no trade is going to be an 80%...

Scat, I appreciate your attempt to show your KISS method, but I'm with @Laissez Faire on his points. There is nothing simple about this once you need to actually come up with a trading plan which includes where to enter, where you stop out, and where to take profit. His point about chasing...

Why do I need to sign in? When I click the link, it wants me to sign into gmail. What kind of quiz needs to know my gmail account??

It is interesting that as the market was dropping, your algo managed to outperform the market, so this was very positive. But now that there was a huge rally the past 2 days, it didn't seem to benefit from this, which clearly sucks for you. I love the above analysis which is both accurate and...

Out of curiosity, why on earth are you bearish at this point? I read the post you linked, and sure, from a fundamental macro perspective, yes, it makes sense. I'm I guess one of those perma bears and have been waiting for Armageddon since 2009, and maybe we are finally here, but just because...

I think this is the best thread for this post. I find that in the entire crypto space, the work of CTO Larrson is the best. He is big on crypto from a tech aspect, but he also doesn't ignore the technical side of trading. Anyway, he made this interesting video on how Bitcoin is following the...

From the article... "The Biden Administration is quietly trying to ban crypto. Nic Carter explains in an explosive guest post for Pirate Wires." Good. I think with this much emphasis on taking Bitcoin out, it will put it in the spotlight. At a time when the entire world is learning about the...

There is no way you can even go back 10 years. Look at NQ. A 100 point day happened once every few months. Now, you can't get less than a 100 point day. Maybe if your strategy account for volatility it would be more viable, but there is no way you could take your strategy from 10 years ago...

I feel this way as well. Stats are always taken in an environment and once the environment changes, I think so would those stats. The playbook is also different because of the interest rate environment that we are in. Everything I keep watching on macro stuff states that the market sees lower...

I just mean an area where a trade should set up. ES for example today rushed up after a gap down open and turns 1 tick from the previous day low, a key level. But on its own, this isn't exactly enough to take a short, but it certainly was trade that was good for at least 10 points to the...

Nothing against Saylor, but didn't we just all learn the importance of "not your keys, not your coins". Not saying he is doing anything suspect, but surely there has to be at least a risk premium attached to you supposedly owning bitcoin through owning shares of MSTR.

So there is nothing haphazard about why they turn. Often I will at least see a battle at a level where enough traders are each trying to win, so it sets up a mini struggle, which is very clear on the 5 second chart. One thing I don't really do is use channels or trendlines because drawing...

I make a shit ton of notes on a 5 second chart and can usually explain 80% of moves. The reasons for price to turn, for me at least, comes down to hitting some key level, like an overnight high or low, or previous day high or low. Another is VWAP that I love. Then also simply swing highs or...

Out of curiosity @newwurldmn , what is it that you don't like about bitcoin? Or are you just lumping the whole crypto space in your thesis? I know you're a very successful trader, and a few guys here will vouch for you, so there is no doubt in my mind about your status or accomplishments. But...

What I notice is that in hindsight, it does line up perfectly with something. But when just looking forward, there are too many possibilities. That's what I struggle with. There are actually too many setups, or reasons to take a long. It seem obvious later to see where I should have gone long...

I watch a lot of videos by Jeff at Eurodollar University. He actually has an amazing video from just Friday where he talks about why the jobs numbers were so high. When you dig into the data, all those jobs are likely just a reflection of the US all of a sudden finding more citizens, and this...

As much as this is perhaps 50% a joke, I wonder about the other 50%. Your suggestion was certainly irrational, since the cat should have no influence at all, except of course if its a distraction, and in which case, simply closing the door to keep it out would have been a good solution. But...

I really wonder how a trader could completely have their emotions in check and always do the right thing when it comes to putting on trades, and yet throw such a hissy fit that they have to pick up their toys and leave at once. I simply said your comment about climactic volume made no sense...
