    I wanted to add a unit at 22, but price moved too fast. Looking to add a second unit on a pullback or at higher prices. Locked in one tick of profit on initial entry now. EDIT: Added one at 23.50. Could still see a minor pullback, so holding stop at 19.25 for now, but might trail it soon...

    Predictive modeling: Yesterday was an Outside Day. For this particular type of Outside Day - the odds of a positive close in RTH is very, very high (83 %) and we should see the main move going higher. And the odds of a close above yesterday's low are extremely high (dare I say 100 % ?)...

    Picking a bottom here for sure, but the R/R is right and it's a slow and controlled pace with NQ putting in higher lows. If it breaks lower it does look like 4100 next, but I'm assuming this is a pullback low for now.

    Good low risk entry down here (4119) for a move back up to 4130 or so.

    do you trade better after a good lay?

    If your member isn't limp while trading you're simply not using enough leverage... :) Always nice with a good release post trading, though.

    Not a back-test, but a broker statement or performance summary of live trading. Mickey Mouse is always angry and agitated. He blocked me because I asked some basic questions about his ridiculous algorithm. Algo is such a silly buzz word anyway. Like you know something just because you made a...

    Ask him to show his performance. Surely the calls posted on ET for index futures using the Mickey Mouse algorithm is worse than a coin flip and not applicable for accurate, leveraged trading. Maybe his actual performance is better, but that would be a surprise.

    Could be. Pullback or reversal. That's anyone's guess at this point. I've no idea, but I'll have to say I would be leaning towards lower if I had to say.

    14.25 points. No biggie on a day that's down 48 points from high to low in RTH. Most down days don't close at the bottom of the range.

    Good call yesterday. Pity you got stopped out. Looking good on this one. :cool: When you're no longer mad at me, maybe you'll teach me how to sell into "strength". Still the hardest trade for me to do.

    Not a prediction medium/long-term as that's beyond me, but I would assume the gaps from last week's rally to be filled in not too long. For now, this market is acting like it's been doing for the last 1 1/2 years - luring people in at tops and bottoms. Both longs and shorts.

    ES Journal - 2023/2024

    And wrong. Glad I sidelined. I think this is a tricky spot for intraday trading. I'm thinking we're closing in on a medium term top and this may be it for the up side for now or just a deeper pullback. Hard to tell. Dumping into the Close appears just as likely as a bid coming in here on this...

    That is what was suggested on the post you first responded to. Let's see what VSTScalper responds and give him the benefit of doubt as an old timer and contributor to EliteTrader. Thank you and good trading to you.

    Gyrating around the weekly Open. Looks like 4140 to me intraday if we find a bid here, but I don't see this going much higher than that today. Wrong below 27. Not sure I want to play here as this can easily slide lower, but I may take a small stop long. Sidelined for now.

    Weekly Open here at 32.50. Paying attention to what's happening here, i.e., rejection or breaking back above.

    Agreed. Let the OP answer these accusations first and give him the benefit of doubt for now. However, you have to admit that it does seem fishy. I don't see that being an 'old timer' should give anyone a free pass, nor serve as a guarantee that someone is still in the game. Anyone who's...

    Scalping_My Way with ACV

    Could be the best way to sell a product. Nobody would sell/lease an automated system/algorithm which works well on liquid index futures. At least not cheap. The money is there in the markets and such a system would exploit that and scale to the maximum position size if it actually worked. So...

    NQ went parabolic. A bit too high and too fast. I closed out that trade here at 66.50 on a trailing stop. The sun is shining and I have other stuff to attend to, so don't want to take the risk of a pullback, but I'm sure we'll see 70 as well from here. 70 was what I had in mind and we came...

    Update on hourly charts. NQ is finally playing with! That laggy bastard. :) Now, I'm hoping it's just not a stop run and we'll see continuation all the way to target.

    ES Journal - 2023/2024

    Hourly ES. I see demand below 50 for now. Possible supply and a failure to breakout above ~ 60. NQ is a bit more sluggish and lagging behind coming into a range high here, but I'm assuming that gap from Friday's Close will be filled sooner than later. The thrust higher late in yesterday's...
