Yes. It's a great feature for sure. Feel free to report back on your results. I'm still liking Ninjatrader better for actual trading, but like I said, it may be a matter of practice.

For today's RTH session, my expectation is that the market will try to trade back into yesterday's range. So, either a rejection at 4130/4136 or a full gap fill above 4150. PS: I didn't yet check what the actual number was. Don't really want to know either.

Almost got your 60 points there, @Overnight. 3.75 points shy. :) Still working this channel:

If a 50 % win rate is the best you can do, you can still make good money as long as your R/R is at least 2:1. You can go short here (4160) with a 15 point stop targeting 4100 as a minimum. That's a 4:1 R/R. If you can consistently hit 4:1 winners you can make good money with a win rate as low as...

Maybe. I like to keep it technical regardless.

With all the posts you're making, many of them usually within market hours, you could at least demonstrate this in real time and not after the fact. Even a child knows that if you buy and sell at the high/low any given day you could make a fortune. Stating that is kind of stating the obvious...

Incredibly, it seems like the PDF statements are pretty much standard with most brokers. I can't believe that Tradovate's solution isn't the industry standard in this day and age. I finally managed to get a demo of Tradovate up and running and placed some trades today. Don't mind the shitty...

Inside Day. They do happen once in a while. Based on what I see, there's a slight bias to the down side for tomorrow, but it's a mixed bag right now. Stalling a bit here at 4150, so maybe the turn is coming already at this level?

Unless you're in the lucky situation to have a profitable trader take you under his wing and mentor you I think it's hard to avoid "wasting time" for the retail trader trying to master this on his own as you will need a ton of research, testing and practice to get anywhere meaningful. Reading...

Only if the market was completely random and unpredictable or didn’t move sufficiently. Clearly not the case. What you’re suggesting isn’t easy either. That’s the thing. Trading isn’t easy for any retail trader first starting out. Most, if not everyone, vastly underestimate what it takes to...

I definitely see that bigger move to the down coming, but my main view is it won't start until early next week or so with some more upside left first. I may very well be wrong. :)

FBO on that first attempt of the LOD. Let's see if that reverses this or if we get legs to the downside... 4140 could also reverse this if we get there.

4200 today if 4150 holds. My main expectation is that it will. Breaking the LOD at 4146 unlocks lower levels for the day and rest of the week, IMO.

Thanks for sharing this, @nooby_mcnoob. I will read it in detail later. IMO, this point quoted could be the most important one, though. Trade the edges, not the middle. This means that a lot of time will be spent waiting for the right time/price to enter. I bet this is where most people mess...

Those gaps will most likely eventually fill, but I wouldn't bet the farm on it. If you're short from 4000 you need a large move just to breakeven. If you were in profit at one point - why didn't you exit B/E? I don't have a clue about the FED. I just follow the market and price action. Looking...

Back then, 1 ES point is not the equivalent of 1 ES point today. In 2012, the average RTH range was 13 points. In 2022, the average RTH range is 84,50 points. So, the equivalent of 1 ES point today would be at least 5 points, I think. Would you agree? IMHO, the ES market changed a bit over...

I'm best at "guessing" the day ahead, but I'm practicing to better anticipate the larger moves and some swing trades as well. :)
