    Target? I'm also short here, but I have a hunch I'm looking for a smaller move than you. 4035. Maybe 4020.

    Giving up on my dream of trading for a living

    Otherwise. Any news since you first started this thread? Did you get a job? Still following/trading the markets?

    Low liquidity moves. I got slippage on a few trades. Putting in a bottom here for now, but still feels like a rug pull can happen any minute. FED speak starting soon as well. My problem for the long side from here is that the target to the upside isn't really clear to me. Going long on a...

    Should be a good pullback short here. I really don't see this running from here without a PB.

    Looking for a pullback low at 4035 or 4022 to go long. Not touching this right now, but may take a breakout above 4044 with a tight stop if we don't pull back any further. If those levels don't hold, well, might go all the way back down to 4K.

    Odds favour a pullback on the Open, but I'll be looking to buy that for sure.

    why do most prop firms focus on intraday trading?

    If you by prop firms mean the pay-to-trade-in-simulator-and-maybe-we'll-give-you-a-shoestring-to-trade-on-firms I'm sure the answer is that their business model is based on the very high failure rates of would be day traders and they're not really interested in seeing you succeed, but have you...

    What's the clue, IYO? :)

    That's a fairly strong trend up overnight shaping up for a fairly big gap up on today's Open unless this sells off by then. I did a chase long for 5 points up here, but not touching this at the moment.

    After seeing the covid rally following the covid plunge I think everything's possible. I'm not much of a bull, though, although I often play the long side, but we're in a big range here and I don't see why we can't go higher within this range. Nice call and trade today.

    Agreed. That seems the likely target for today. Maybe more. I was too slow to catch it today.

    ES Journal - 2023/2024

    The market is in a tricky spot here from my perspective. I see weakness here, but still I struggle to short this around these levels as of now. Still leaning long, but it may easily be wrong for today. With such a small range way below both the average and minimum range for the year we should...

    ES Journal - 2023/2024

    12:05 candle. In hindsight - maybe it will look like the perfect reversal candle. Right now, I'm reading this as pullback / consolidation above yesterday's low and this entire day so far have been a massive failure to breakout lower with multiple attempts. Of course, it have not so far broke...

    4020 today if 4K holds? With Outside Potential, i.e., 4035+?

    I blew up NinjaTrader7...

    I won't object to your concerns. Especially since I'm not a computer guy. I'm just saying it's been a recommended procedure (maybe not officially from Ninja) in order to maintain performance. I'm not a NT fanboy either, although it's my main trading software.

    I blew up NinjaTrader7...

    Are you seriously saying you never wiped the DB through 9 years? I do that routinely and it's known to be one of the hacks to maintain performance. As for NT8 being so much faster? Well, let's just say I never really noticed... :)

    Sunny Harris interview about her 4 decades long trading experience

    Yes. If I recall correctly from the interview I heard - she had a windfall profit from selling her business or some other business deal? So, retiring at 30 not from trading profits for sure. Now, it's possible she's the real deal and actually makes money from her trading operations and/or have...

    Sunny Harris interview about her 4 decades long trading experience

    Exactly. Those "grab them while you can" limited offers really sets of every single alarm bell and snake oil seller alerts I can think of... :) No. As far as I can tell, they're not really selling anything. FWIW, I don't follow them, though, and haven't looked into them in detail.
