    Fear of quitting day job...

    I'm kind of in the same position here. For 4 years I worked my dream job (not going to say what it was). I was full-time for 1.5 years. After awhile I got really tired of it. I grew up thinking about doing it, I did it, and then the thrill was over. Took me a long time to make the decision...

    ES Journal Archive (2009 - 2010)

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TejtkVZD7r0 TopNotch (TopStep) has an objective of 1062.25. They are looking for Monday to be another down day, looking around the 1050 area if the market stays on the lows and doesn't get a bounce.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egPIUpWugH0 Looking for a low of 62.50 if ES can get below 78. If it can get below 78 they won't be seeing another move to 87-88. If it can stay above (which it is right now) we could be seeing another move higher by the end of the day. (at least that is my...

    Leave stop loss and target or exit early?

    Jack, I very much appreciate the time you take to explain all of this to me. I don't know you, but so far you are speaking in a very complex way that seems to make what is simple into something that is harder than it needs to be. You remind me of a guy in a mIRC chat channel that I used to...

    Leave stop loss and target or exit early?

    Any possible way to have that explained? I looked up what a fractal was and while it makes a little sense, it's still way too complex for me to comprehend. Someone can PM me if you want, please!

    Leave stop loss and target or exit early?

    I have no idea what a fractal is or pretty much anything you just said there. WAY over my head.

    Leave stop loss and target or exit early?

    I had a 2nd day of simulation trading with this strategy. Basically the concept of the strategy is to buy on a pullback at a specific point after price makes a strong move in any direction. Trade 1 was a long at 1087 and it went to target at 1089 in roughly 25 minutes. Trade 2 was a...

    Goldman Sachs sold 600-700 contracts at 1094 and stopped the ES in its tracks. The floor traders were looking at 84.50 as resistance, but since the market gapped higher, it turned into support. One guy is looking at 97.75 to 98.25 as resistance. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hskGK65nYLs

    Leave stop loss and target or exit early?

    Yeah, I am my own worst enemy here. I keep throwing it around of "should I just trade the first couple hours of the day or trade all day," and "should I trade every signal or only the ones in the direction of the trend." I've been trying to get more exposure to the charts with backtesting so I...

    Leave stop loss and target or exit early?

    Good advice, thanks! I've been sitting here going back through the charts in June finding my entries and stops. Just mentally trading, I've had about 3 days with about 7-8 profitable trades in a row and no losses. On one day I found a trade where I had a long entry signal, but before...

    Leave stop loss and target or exit early?

    I have a question that I was trying to figure out all day today. I recently came across a strategy that works for me on the ES. I started working on it today on a simulation account. The strategy is completely based on price action. It is the first time in all of the times that I've taken...

    A 70k bet that I can't make a 50% gain in 2009

    I just finally started to realize what you were doing. Pretty awesome strategy. Quick question while I'm posting - why does it take so long for my post to show up? And how long until it becomes instant?

    A 70k bet that I can't make a 50% gain in 2009

    Sorry for the questions, and if you don't want to answer this. I started demo trading the ES so I'm hoping this can apply the same. How do you find or "see" the relative strength/weakness?

    A 70k bet that I can't make a 50% gain in 2009

    I know it's in this thread somewhere, but is the idea that when the market gaps up, you look for stocks to short so that when the market turns over, you ride it down and the other way around?
