Six figure days is meaningless without knowing your bankroll. A % number or % of daily range is more meaningful.

It's clear that you're not really in a position to trade successfully, both practically/economically and mentally (quite likely a consequence of the first). It's not even clear if you have a valid system/approach as you don't disclose much about that and frankly have not been making money...

Zone held => New Weekly High. ;)

Tight stops getting runned left and right. As long as this zone holds - we still have a good chance at new weekly highs today, IMHO.

Lost momentum at the highs and quickly filled that pocket below. If we don't reverse here, ~ 15-20, we'll probably roll over on the day, IMO. 4100 or lower.

4160 today from the looks of it all. Looks like that swing high will be taken out...

You're really just repeating the same post over and over again, so maybe just put it in your signature and stop posting. If you're one of the best intraday traders of the S&P - what are your daily numbers? I don't expect you to post any proof, but at least give us an indication of your claims...

Sounds good. Are you trading this with real money and getting rich beyond your wildest dreams or are you still dabbling with the bucket shops you've been mentioning quite a few times on other threads?

IMO, you should not need more than a maximum of 10 points as a stop on ES in current volatility assuming your entries are good. Try plotting an ATR with a say 20MA on top to get an idea of the average stop size. If you're entering at the right moment, trading the edges and not in the middle, you...

Let's run the numbers... With a 25 point stop as a daytrader, I assume your R/R is at best 1:1 and possibly even inverted, i.e., risk 25 to gain 5 or 10. Simulation 1: Risk 25 ES points ($1250) / Gain 5 ES points ($250) (R/R 5:1) You need a 90 % win rate to have a positive expectancy. If you...

That would be my assumption, too, but I don't know exactly how brokers route their orders and if there would be differences based on that. I did see that comment from a Tradovate users complaining about fills, but without knowing anything else, I don't really know and can't trust that...

Futures orders are matched on the CME Globex electronic platform. I don't think the broker "executes" anything per se, beyond submitting your order on your behalf after you clicking a button on your trading platform. I fail to see how data-feed is a factor here other than giving you the correct...

Yes. Headed south again.

That doesn't make sense. Care to elaborate? If I submit an order in advance, be that a limit order or a stop market order, I fail to see that the data feed should matter.

See my post prior to this one in case you missed it.

Trading systems and methods You haven't really mentioned anything about your trading system or approach, but I'll be happy to give a few pointers if you're interested. The key thing with day trading, IMO, is to be disciplined enough to wait for the right opportunity and only then to execute. I...

I agree this is all very concerning, but it's not the first time the OP made similar comments. Let's hope it's not meant seriously. SelfMadeDude, I can only repeat what I already said and I'm sad to see this is going like I predicted. Trading is very much a mental game. You're not in a spot...

TST and similar ain't "funding" anyone. Not sure why people are still discussing this... At best, you're given a $3-5 account to trade, although they call it a $150K account. If you make a profit in your funded account, you're self-funded as you're only risking your own capital.

Yes. We probably put in or are close to putting in a short term swing high here.

What specifically went wrong today? Trading wise?
