    I don't really care for the way oil patterns, but the 6E futures are decent... I prefer having my internals and tick averages that get my mind in sync with the market real fast... So I'm sticking with the index futures. :D Only takes me about 30 minutes to get a feel for whats going on and...

    Whos not looking forward to trading the downtrend next week?

    These minor end of a bull run rallies always predictably fail with the same timing... The only question is how many sellers will we find on the next down move. Hmmm... Anyone else have any interesting charts with targets for the coming selloff? I hope it's just a small move down... When...

    I don't care for trading down-trending markets...

    Switching to the NQ...

    Hmmm... I just turned signals back on. Wow, market conditions are rarely as good as they were today... Signals were timing properly. Wave counts were a little odd though. Best just to use gut instinct to solve those.

    Switching to the NQ...

    I traded the /TF for like six months back in 2009. Different trading system though. The current one I am using was designed for the ES. I am just getting it tuned in for the /TF. As long as your not counter trending it's very hard to lose on the ES. The TF seems pretty good lately, but as we...

    Switching to the NQ...

    Then... I replayed the same thing as a sim run at 40x using OCO attached orders... 1x1 Handles. Taking the same trades essentially... Would have made a lot more money than I did today... Just using OCO orders, and no chase entries! Chase entries are for trending days only... Definitely not...

    Switching to the NQ...

    The TF is in my opinion one of the most proper futures. It does what it's supposed to. No shenanigans or parabolic moves where they are not supposed to be. I prefer to hold a trade for less than ten minutes too. Ok, lets compare two charts... First, here is the trades I made today... With...

    Switching to the NQ...

    I royally suck at holding trades properly... Bit too trigger fingery with market orders. Gonna switch to OCO tomorrow and try to follow my rules better.

    Switching to the NQ...

    Grrr... I don't care for the NQ. Rippy mother. Hard to get a feel for. Got clipped a couple times and ditched it. Switched back to the ES and nailed a couple, then played the TF through lunch into late day and just nailed it trade after trade...

    Switching to the NQ...

    Ill cyall later. Nice to see there is some "sane" people on this forum. I will try to stay off here until the weekend. Gonna focus on trading hard the rest of the week. My NQ charts are officially tuned in and ready to roll. Honestly, I barely looked at my signals today for my few...

    Switching to the NQ...

    Hmm, let me take a guess at which trades you caught... I think you bought at this fifty percent retrace late day as the market was starting to pull together toward close, before the nonsense of the last 30 minutes. I was tempted to buy it on the NQ, but I have been keeping to my rules well...

    Switching to the NQ...

    Yea... I just started to realize that a bit ago. It's a pain in the ass except for during more volatile markets. Once the vix drops down under 24 it can start to become a headache. I am only going back to it if I ever need the high liquidity. I will however continue to monitor it's...

    Switching to the NQ...

    Keeping nine chartbooks tuned in for current market conditions and volatility might be a bit overkill... Just maintaining the tuning on the NQ and ES charts through changing conditions is enough work, lol...

    Switching to the NQ...

    TF Detailed picture... Eh, pretty good patterning... I think ill keep the TF in mind for big trending days. On the big move days the TF loves to outperform the other indices. NQ is far superior trading on choppy days like today IMO. I can't believe I traded the ES for so long... The...

    TF Medium Picture... Simple, logical, beautiful movement...

    Switching to the NQ...

    The TF in my experience follows internals better and trends a bit more logically. The one thing I don't like about it is it doesn't retrace much. You better be in the right trade if your in the TF! It won't let you out without hitting your stop.

    Internals - The most important indicator for me! Whats yours?

    Ok, I had enough of watching the market today. Cyall latez! Internals rule! I should have shorted every single NQ bounce into resistance today... Not just a few, but my heart rate starts getting too high. LoL... Not even touching the last hour with technicals like today... Internals...

    Internals - The most important indicator for me! Whats yours?

    Internals review again... Eh... Nothing... Trade long or short for both the NYSE and Nasdaq states my rules. That means I can either take long setups off the lows or short setups off the highs. Ok, lunch for real now. You would think the market would either start to rally or capitulate for...

    Internals - The most important indicator for me! Whats yours?

    Time to take a breather and step back and look at the big picture... And get some lunch! We only have around 4 more days left in this rally before we need to retrace again on the daily. Assuming this market behaves like the last weekly top... That leading indicator should turn over at around...

    Internals - The most important indicator for me! Whats yours?

    Why I say down again is most likely before the next rally... Were running out of time... No buyers came in midday. Fear is building again in the longs. I prefer trading long. The market just forced me to do shorts earlier as it was the higher odds thing to do. Cmon capitulate so we can...
