    Wow! I did re-enter long and was instantly filled for 20 points profit in less than 5 seconds. My charts literally didn't update fast enough. That's a first. I use automated entry management in Ninja and have various strategies. I wanted to enter long again after that pullback proved to hold...

    NQ spoiling all the fun. Flat here. Looking to re-enter long if this zone holds. But not yet.

    If today is to a be a bear killer, we shouldn't dip much below ~ 70 on the Open, IMO.

    Why I faded Fridays close.. again

    You come across as a forum cop - watching what everyone else posts and then trying to find a fault by that or come with some clever disagreement. Quite often you miss the mark as well. It's not a good look. Pekelo actually did say he thought the same pattern would repeat itself in RTH, so I...

    By this week? How confident are you?

    So, based on that. Where is your target for this up leg? I'm probably going to take an exit at 3815 if I get it. That might be as much as we get pre-market.

    Took a few stabs to capture this falling knife, but now that I got it I'm going to be a long gambler just like you and simply hold this. :) I feel very strongly about a new move to at least 3800 and probably 3820 and even beyond. I just don't know how that path will unfold... Most likely not...

    Any recommendations for a Futures Trading Platform?

    That's another problem with the NT development team. There's a ton of user requests asking for very specific and basic improvements like the Clicker. It should have been extremely easy for them to implement it. Chart trader is okay for calm swing trading. Not for intraday trading. That's when...

    Early longs and weak hands probably folded on that pullback. Add in some short covering and late shorts. Up we go. At least it's an interesting story... :)

    Why I faded Fridays close.. again

    Just a weak dip pre-market, probably. I think we'll see a run towards 3800/3820 during the RTH session before we can see a major reversal. If at all.

    Who is the Greatest Trader of all time?

    About the Norwegian guy, my hunch is that he would average down to infinity and win 90 % of the time until one day it didn't work. The same as any high win rate strategy where your initial risk is large. Eventually it blows out if you don't scale down. EDIT: Very little is known about his...

    Who is the Greatest Trader of all time?

    Maybe the question should be who is the greatest known trader of all time? I'm wondering if there are some private individuals who's done even better, but whose results are not known to the public. In Norway, there was a former electricity broker who started out on his own with 200K NOK (18K...

    Interesting. I was most definitely wrong so far. Stopped out of a few longs. Maybe all the way back down to 3720 by the Open, then. Congratulations to those who faded the highs and shorted this. I didn't see us pulling back this deep. I have no problems admitting that. :)

    Weak bounce off 3750 for now. Basing out here or moving even lower before the Open. My crystal ball is fuzzy. For now, I’m reading this as a deeper pullback before the next major move higher. Already hit my anticipated levels to the upside, but, I think they should print during RTH before any...

    ES Journal - 2021/2022

    Another bad start of the week with sloppy trading, I'm afraid. Took a loss overnight on an early long with a too wide stop. One thing is knowing what to do. Another thing is to practice it flawlessly. That said, I'm long again from 63 and will probably stop out around B/E in case we pull back...

    There's always a pullback on ES, isn't there? :) ES/NQ both pulled back to unchanged. NQ filling the Globex gap up. My best best is we'll hold 3760/50 for now and make another run towards the high (3800/3820) today. Be that during RTH or ETH. Barring any negative news from Europe.

    A false BO for now. Usually it's always a problem when price moves too far, too fast. What comes up, most come down. I would guess higher again, though. And probably a gap up by tomorrow and maybe even a larger gap. Just not sure about the path to get there.

    Good call. Always the risk of a deeper pullback here, so it depends on your risk tolerance. There’s always a pullback to re-enter.

    Not sure what happened on the Open really. Price was just resting and then suddenly spiked. I was waiting for prices to be moving before taking action as I had a resting limit way below market, so not sure if my platform was freezing or what not. Made me miss my entry. Looking to get in on a...

    Crazy pop. Almost 50 points in a few minutes.
