Wholesales prices up more than expected, more claims than expected, DJ Stoxx lost 0.5%. Nothing else going on (except Greece and that doesn't look too good either with EU not doing anything meaningful and IMF likely to pay the greeks a visit - only this time it will be IMF bearing gifts hehehe)...

Asia pushed up this morning, Europe followed and Housing Stats helped continue yty's good move which spilled into today. So after the open I looked for a place to enter long. Got in at 79 and took my profit at 89. +10!!!

Market opened up but just couldn't buy the pullback. Just didn't convince me. So at my first chance I shorted. I took +6 pts and called it quits. I didn't like the small push up that broke above the bar before my entry so I decided to take the small profit. There will be better oppties down...

Indeed, the first short was just wrong. Was blinded by the want to get short :) And second short was money. While I agree that news is irrelevant, there are times where it provides background to the markets and helps the trader take the higher probability trade. Where did Asia close?, what...

Retail sales beating expectations just weren't enough at the open. Jitters in Europe and the Chinese hike were enough to start the dow down 1%. I entered short a little too early and in bad position. I should have waited for the technicals to become overbought. Anyway, I averaged into it by...

Yeah, that's true. I was trading the 5min and decided I'd try something a little different. Hence this Journal. The posting is to keep me organised, and to think about the trades. The idea is based on improving lifestyle. In other words, can I trade in the first 1-2 hrs and make something...

I guess I should change the Journal title to "Turn $50 to $50M" :) Then I'll get people posting :) Anyway, back to my favourite contract. The YM Today was a little tough as I started off losing 6 pts (short 71, covered at 77) but I covered very late and was super lucky to only lose...

Codliver, If you are trading full-time and are profitable and if you have a system and trade then feel free to post a chart with the trade. Also feel free to explain your system. Otherwise, I am not interested in you advise concerning time frames, and everything else you posted...

Today's trade occured 7 min before crude inventories. The YM start to trend downwards and I shorted the first min-pullback. After 3 green bars we got a red bar and an oversold Williams R. I shorted at 9951 and took profit at 9941 for +10. It was nice that it all occured in the same minute...

If you don't trade the YM then please don't post. Codliver: 2pts on the ES = 20 pts on the YM. Now go away.

The purpose of this journal is to document Dow e-mini scalps. I intend to trade 1-2 scalps in the first 1-2 hrs of the trading day. My goal is to make 5-15 points and call it quits. Other Dow e-mini (aka YM) scalpers are welcome to post. Hopefully we can all improve through each others...

Hi, I have been reading about volume spread analysis. I find it really interesting and have been looking at charts everyday to identify the signs of VSA. I've read the Tom William's ebooks. While I am not sure how a trade setup would best be executed using VSA, I am convinced that VSA...

Agreed! We all get it TZ! We appreciate the warnings, now just let the thread continue please without further interruptions.

ES appears move violent than YM. I trade the YM, and the lower volatility would have made it a little tighter to get in and out today while watching the forum but in any case great calls. Keep up the great work sick!!!

thanks Pekalo. I was trying to find via search and couldn't succeed. Your link works great. Thanks!

I tried finding u on Twitter but there is no sicktraderII. Can u pls provide exact name? Thanks!

Sicktrader, Best way to shut them up is stay here and keep posting trades. After a week, all these guys will give up. Good luck today.

Congrats sick! Keep up the good work. From the 2 trades of yty, it also appears to me to be a breakout system. Look forward to seeing more trades. Ignore all the negative comments.

To all the people that think sick will fail here's an idea: STOP READING. Why are u wasting ur time? Only explanation is: you have failed and enjoy watching other people fail. Go read someone elses journal.

Good luck sicktrader! Ignore Tradezone. In ur previous thread I posted a YM trade I did and he bit my head off... Some people just love to see people fail...
