    I trade 1 ES

    Basically I use a a combination of a pattern following system with indicator confirmation. I use only a 5 min SP chart, 2 indicators, and a third as a tie breaker in those narrow ranges. Most exits are 3 points, but vary from breakeven to 5 points. I use a reverse stop of 3 pts, but...

    If you would be kind enough to PM me and let me know if there is a way to get live Yahoo IM signals to automatically post on ET I'd be happy to share my effort here. I do not have the time while trading to jump and get my signals posted here in a timely enough fashion for anyone to act on...

    I trade 1 ES

    It seems to me that you are applying a lot of effort for very little return. To bad you don't reply to PM's as I believe I can offer an alternative approach: small effort, big profit. Best of luck Oten

    Humans vs computers, chess vs trading

    I believe if I knew how, I could program my system and it would outperform most humans. Just don't have the knowledge to do it. I may be paranoid, but if I give it to someone to program I find it is being duplicated and sold some day. SO catch 22 for now.

    Holy Grail for min bid of 150000 on ebay

    It is NOT me - my system earns over a million a year on 15 emini contracts. No way would I sell it for less than the traditional business value of 10 times net, or 10 million. Only requirement is you take every single signal and apply stop, stop adjustments, and exits as stated in the...

    Personal Bankruptcies Jump 7.8 Percent

    It is no surprise in country that itself is bankrupt. They just keep printing money - increasing money supply - but there is absolutely no value behind the paper being printed. Watch out below, when someone finally announces "The King has no clothes".

    Your are lucky, it took me two + tears to finally have utter faith and trust in the system I use - now emotion is gone - except the joy of making good money the easy way. Best Oten

    What is the best state of mind for trading?

    I believe the "right frame of mind" is absolute trust and faith in a proven system. Therefore, I trade in a relaxed, confident state of mind. My function is merely to to be present should auto pilot fail: then I merely shut down the system by exiting the trade. I do not believe that...

    How do you deal with Starting the Day out with Losses?

    "I tend to lose my discipline" - You answered your own question - discipline!!! If you have a winning system follow it - stop with the "story" and follow the system. I did the same thing while tracking what my system would have done - I lost, it made $$$ Finally I had had ENOUGH and...
