Big move coming - one way or the other. I hold no strong opinion. I just have a hunch that playing the short side won't be as easy, i.e., massive counter rallies. So, as I lack a bit of conviction I'm just waiting a bit here.

Anyone like playing this? Way too whippy for me. Clearly a lot of volume going off here as my volume charts are moving fairly fast. I'm sidelined waiting for some clarity here. I would feel most confident about participating in a move higher back inside yesterday's range, but not picking a...

Long when that news report failed to reverse the market below yesterday's close and left behind a nice "tail bar". 6 points locked in to make sure I take something off the table. Targeting the top of the range trying to not be too greedy. EDIT: And stopped for 6 points of profit. No...

The only thing you need to know is that it's not a "prop" firm. It's a hamster wheel. :)

I thought that was what I was sharing most of the time, i.e., my view of the market, where I think we're headed and what I'm looking for short-term. A real time trade with entries and exits does not contain anything of value if you don't understand why the trader entered where he did and why he...

I hope you didn't miss my losing day yesterday. Ended my 15 day streak with a biggie yesterday. Thankfully, I had a few biggies to the upside, too. So no major damage, but still humbling.

Sure. But considering that he's not trying to mentor anyone or making any outrageous claims he's not the first one I'd like to see naked. :)

This is the chart I posted on Sunday where I referenced that I would watch for either a failure or acceptance above that 3900 level. It turned out to be a failure and reversal off that level. We just hit the first target to the downside. Here's an updated chart (with a few lines removed)...

Holding into the report and trading the following minutes seems like gambling to me, but I'm sure there's some who can navigate it. After the initial rally which made a new HOD failed and we dropped below yesterday's Close it seemed evident that we'd go lower. I had actually shut down my live...

The Ho?

Took a few small scalps just to print a green day after yesterday's sillyness. The last one being a late short as we made new lows, but didn't want to risk a 20 point counter move, so stopped out for 5 points. Headed lower, though. But the path might be rocky. If I were short from higher prices...

3800 by the Close to fill that gap below looks about right.

Sweet entry. Breaking it even? Could see a good drop here into the Close.

I actually think that's a great idea. I've been thinking something similar myself. Hell, even just verifying that people actually have a trading account in the first place.

Relax. I'm not aware of any wager. I was just joking around that if you offered me money to show that my trades actually are real similar to what you did with that other guy I would have taken it. I read ET without logging in from my phone from time to time and it happens that I see your posts...

I was up close to 50 % before yesterday's mess-up, so that would have been even better. LOL. Remember, this is day trading futures and it's a leveraged account. I day trade ES. No overnight trades. I have detailed statistics on my trading computer, but generally I'm in a trade anywhere from...

Of course! Who doesn't? :) My expectations are however lower than they were when I first started out and in a sense I gave up a while back, but I'm still trading and plugging away. Yesterday was a set-back ending a 15 day winning (gross) streak, but I'm still up about 30 % so far this month...

Those small stops adds up quickly, though. Regardless, my point is there's a bit more nuance to it than simply buying S and selling R. Then again, I'm not a market millionaire...

First off. How do you define support and resistance? On which timeframe/s? Second. You’re at support/resistance and price is wobbling. How do you differentiate between support actually holding or breaking? Yesterday was a prime example of false breakouts and price overshooting. I don’t...

No offense, but your advice is about as practical and useful as saying buy low and sell high.
