I got some short signals (ES/NQ), wasn't thrilled about them but entered at 15:02, looking for a selloff into the close (similar to yesterday) or a move back to the premarket lows.. But typically there's not much trending going on leading up to fed meetings.

Great day to do something else...

Netting avg 2 pts/day is doable. You left the 9-5 in November, right? RTH range has been pretty anemic Since mid October. Lot more opportunity around this time last year, but it will come back at some point. From what I recall you have 6 months living expenses set aside and your real starting...

I logged yesterday to confirm the 10 contract/instrument limit . I'd need to leverage more aggressively than 10 to have any chance at reaching the level of previous winners, so lost interest. But I did place a couple of shorts (limited to 10 ES, 3 NQ), as I figured there's always a chance we...

7 point dip, queue the "trade talks going well" tweets.

I guess we're inching closer to the parabolic bull explosion

I think the CME challenge ES traders are gonna need a bit more range expansion this week to net the "10K" per contract

I'm missing December 2018 volatility. RTH movement has been pretty lame beyond opening hour.

Yes to testing (back/forward), after many 1000s of occurrences, what "works" for me became clear. Never made it past a few pages (or a quick skim) of any trading book. Never practiced on sim either. Can't comment from experience on whether books or practice help. My framework was built from a...

Is a rate cut on the table? Hey check out this blast from the 2013 past

A bit off thread topic (sorry OP), First was skipping valid trades. I'd skip because the setup looked like a loser, or because I won or lost 5 or 6 in a row and thinking, "the next one has to be a loser". The underlying reason was that I just hadn't done enough work to have confidence in what I...

Thanks! The lagging issue is a dealbreaker but may still try it out, as I would probably just grab the screen during dull moments. I never stray too far from workstation where my laptop is docked into a bigger monitor, but would like the flexibility of just grabbing a wireless screen and going...

Yeah that's what I'm wondering. I've never used the tech, I read "It uses Bluetooth to establish the initial connection, after which it switches to point-to-point Wi-Fi for data transfer."

Parabolic up move remains intact until 2300. At that point.. Alert Alert Alert... The bull market has ended.

Definitely hear that. That's my current setup. But I do roam about the house quite a bit throughout the trading day, and was thinking a cord free solution with a 10M range to keep an eye on things might be enjoyable. Just concerned about lag.

Manual, but I incorporated numerous reliability tests. Process was labor intensive and took several months, but prior to trading I spent a decade in a highly analytical field, searching for needles in haystacks of data, so tons of screen time was nothing new.

Never owned an iPad but I do use a Macbook connected to a monitor via HDMI or USB-C. Saw that iPads can now be used wirelessly as a second screen (via sidecar), with a 10 meter range. Think I'll pick up the 12.9 version and try it out this week. Has anyone attempted to use that for a second...

:D It's comments like this that keep me coming back to the greatest financial thread on the interwebs.

Early on, I was shooting for 4:1 or 5:1. It did work, but the losing streaks (in low win rate systems) are just not for me. Plus, after losing 10 or 15 in a row, if I missed a winner for whatever reason, would have a meltdown. Same. my current method is not the most profitable, but I can...

I like 1.5x and yes, only right about half the time. I like trailing too, but it requires more attention. Today (and lately) I was trading ES with fixed method, and NQ with trailing method. Split size between the two. Good conditions for my plan today (trending/good range/movement), and the...
