no wait, I think I read that wrong, it's even better than that...... 30 contracts. Wow. Very very nice. I think I'll start paying more attention to you guys :) jd

Great Job AMT4SWA. You got to sleep right through making 3 grand. Very nice :) jd

nwbprop, What does SCT mean? What does apa mean? thanks, jd

Sounds like your buddy lost you $300 today :) Of course paper trading is always more profitable for me as well :) That 10:30 ES trade I saw too. I saw it on a 1m chart at 10:31, then on my 3m chart at 10:33 then the 5m chart a 10:35. Is that how it works for you, one after the other, and...

If his winning trade percentage is high, say 80 or 90 percent, then it would work, would it not? I don't know what his numbers are. The risk reward thing is important but I don't think you look at just the stop and target levels by themselves. Of course I'm new at this too, so this is only what...

Fast, Thanks for posting this journal. All the best going forward. Now the question: I only trade the ES so my question is about that only. I took a random day, Oct 2 from your journal and looked at your trade: 9:46 AM - Long 1 ES 1012.00 9:47 AM - Cover 1 ES 1013.00 Result: +1...

Grob, What is "SCT" and/or SCT trading? Thanks, jd

Momotrdr, So, if someone responds to your post, you respect them LESS than if they acted like you didn't exist? Hmmmm.... You are one interesting albeit convoluted individual :) jd

Grob, This is alot of fun reading and trying to learn you're concepts. They seem sound to me so far. Thanks for sharing. Here's a quote from something you said Wednesday.... "Because I keep my NLP pictures really clean, I do it like breathing." What are NLP pictures? Also, you...

Grob, Could you do a re-post with a markup of the groups of trades, like you did with the Wednesday post? Still trying to understand how this works, using Wednesday's postings info and today's. I watched the IB numbers today for quite a while and saw some of what you were saying, but...

Maybe I'm not looking at it correctly, but "2 bar charlie" doesn't look too good for the last few weeks. If you go by the 60m chart with a 40 day MA keeping you only on long trades since 10/2, then there are very few points since then to be had and probably at least as many lost points. What am...

Very interesting Funky. I apprecaite you taking the time to explain your methods. You've given me loads of stuff to study and look at. Thanks dude, jd

If you don't mind saying, why do you believe this? What criteria do you use? I'm still new at this and don't see how one would know where the market is going "today". Thanks, jd

For me, the good thing about this thread has been taking a more serious look at ADX/DMI and the divergences that happen between the DMI and price and the ADX and price. While nyc's results are impressive, I don't trade stocks, I trade the ES, so I wanted to see if what he's doing is applicable...

I've been playing with his settings in my software, InvestorRT. Instead of one indicator that does both the ADX and the DMI (or DI + - as they call it) InvestorRT has them separated. You can put them on separate panes of combine them on one pane. The problem is I can't get the scale to let me...

Your experience will be missed here. I appreciate your helping to train me in the ways of divergence trading. Best Regards, Dan

First off, welcome back. If it was me, and I was considering a divergence setup based on your chart, I'd be skeptical of the fact that the 840am central time bar had many times more volume associated with it than the 940am bar based on the time of day, not based on the price per say. This...

So if not price and an indicator, price and what? jd

I hope this kind of post doesn't get lost in the shuffle. It not only answers the question put forth in the thread, but db is laying out a complete, step by step way to learn to be successful. Note there is work involved and time involved that one PERSONALLY has to do. If you lean toward using...

Thanks. jr
