Thank you. Didn't book a profit, though. So maybe I'm being too greedy. Let's see where we end up.

1% down dip buyers showed up and triggered a bounce. I don't want to be long here, so I'll hold.

Comfortably short here. Will lock in one point and simply HODL. Maybe I'll exit at 4300 if not stopped out.

FBO out of this range on the European Open. I was short and stopped out for 15 points. Back in short and waiting for this flag to break.

Which MAs are you using? Do you find them helpful/important in your trading? Thank you.

Following such a week on ES it's very rare (9 out of 10) that we doesn't at least get a lower low in the week to come. Doesn't necessarily have to be a major week down, but a dip lower (which may be bought) seems highly probable from here. Now ring that bell and let's play! :) Good luck all...

NQ looks weak as hell with these last weeks appearing to be one major bear flag. I'm not tracking NQ in detail, so I missed that it already corrected 18.26 % top to bottom. Wow. Down 15 % as of Friday's close. Comparatively, ES down only 8,32 % top to bottom as of Friday. Will be paying close...

The rally which started on Tuesday lost momentum and did indeed end up printing a mini double top on the daily chart. I'm curious if this was because of the news coming in on Thursday/Friday or if this would have been the same outcome regardless. I suppose we'll never know that for sure. The...

I understand. What you're doing here doesn't seem to be trading of futures, though. It seems like you usually buy near a high and simply hold. Often through larger drawdowns and then get out when you're back in the green. That's not what I would consider trading. More like buy and hold. I...

While I do not endorse Earn2Trade or TST - these firms actually let you trade REAL money on a funded account. Effectively taking care of the conflict of interest that exists with the companies where you only trade in simulator. TST introduced some weird withdrawal rules (ask yourself why they...

Curious... Are you making good money now using "the obvious"? Thank you.

No idea. You can read the story here, though. https://www.forexpeacearmy.com/community/threads/funding-talent-prop-firm-scam.70762/ https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/is-funding-talent-a-scam.360599/page-3

Considering your trading size and holding period - why not trade SPY or QQQ?

I’m not coming at you at all. Was just trying to give you a friendly warning. Good luck.

I’m not repeating anything. I know fully how these firms work and will not waste any more time debating the issue. There is no scaling or funding as you always risk your own accumulated profits. The reason they have time limitations on withdrawals is simply because they hope you’ll fail by...

Well, isn't that precisely what I said? :) In order to have a chance, you need to stay small. If that's a micro or a full e-mini depends on the account size and drawdown limits. However, considering that you have to stay small and trade micros it does seem to me to defeat the whole purpose of...

1K account. 0.5K margin per MES. 3 points net per day. You start out trading 2 contracts. On day 18 you can start trading 3 micros. On day 29 you can trade 5 micros. Progress is slow initially, but eventually it snowballs until you own the world... :)

I think that realistically to have a chance with these firms you should go for a fairly large account and trade it with very small size. If not, you simply have to be a top performer 100 % of the time with no room to fail. The margin just isn't there. You mention having a main account. If so...

Cleanest up trend I've seen in a long way. Free money for all. :) Off to do something else now, but would be surprised if this is not an Outside Day by the Close.

Just going to wait and see if yesterday's range get accepted here now. Could still reverse and go south. But if not - I assume 4580 could be in play by EOD.
