Oh the irony! NQ now wants calls to be legit, but he throws a hissy fit when someone questions his calls, calls which were in fact appropriate to be questioned and were proven false once he fessed up to making trades that were completely different than the original posted call. Now NQ isn't a...

I might have missed it, but can you say why this is your lower target? The chart you posted today with regards to the short at 2800 was a wonderful illustration. So I'm just curious if this lower level is also based on something visual like channels, etc. Thanks.

Of course there are differences between ignore and block, but I forget the nuances.

This is incorrect. I have him on ignore and still see the thread.

My guess, since NG is a waste product, when you stop drilling for CL, the "waste" product is no longer produced. Now you actually have to go get it if you want it. With this oil crash, many CL drillers might go belly up.

I'm basing this on the movement. Its quite tame to be honest after the initial ramp up higher from hitting the 7% limit down.

Along with this, I would say many algos are turned off today. The price action, considering the current environment, is very tame right now. I can only conclude that most machines are off other than simply MM and traders doing it manually.

All this talk about leverage just makes no sense to me. We have to look at the trade stats of the trader, and then given these parameters, we can figure out what size of account he needs. Its just like looking for a place to live. You start with looking at the makeup of your family. Is it...

I feel this exact same way. But at the same time, I think we have to consider this last chart that you posted. I don't want to impart my way of trading onto you, but its obvious that the shorts went against you heavily. And on top of this, the shorts also all broke the previous swing high...

You beat me to exactly what I was going to say! I have been saying all along that the whole purpose of this experiment was to let the account size dictate the number of contracts traded and this is how he was going to grow 2% every day. He has so far traded positively every day of this crazy...

@Baron , as nice as ET is, your block feature seems to give too much power to those who are actually causing some of the trouble. Over in the ES thread, I took a stab at calling out @NQurious over a trade he posted that didn't make sense...

Say what you want, but its obvious that you felt uncomfortable enough to clear up your first post. Perhaps it was the proof that a 2 x ATR stop wouldn't have worked with the short at 46. Dude, your story completely changed. What you call trolling is precisely what inspired you to share the...

More like, score one point for the position inspector! :D My award for best transparency goes to @theapprentice . Look at that beautiful chart he posted!

So essentially what you are saying is the post you made about your entry was completely false. And its only because I questioned it that you now come out with the truth. I'm happy that so many people vouch for you, and its likely that you are a good trader because you have so much time to post...

It sounds encouraging, but I'm simply making an educated evaluation of the info presented. It makes no sense to be short at 46 when it goes instantly against you, and when you say that a break of 71 could mean a run all the way to 3114. I did a bit of digging into the post where he mentions...

In my opinion, quoting that post just makes your case even worse. You said a strong break above 71 would mean a run for the previous day close, which sits at 3114. Price did break 71 and went as high as 82. If we are to follow what you said in advance, then we have to assume that with price...

You let this trade go against you 34 points, and even mentioned what a break above 71 would mean, and it clearly broke above that and went all the way to 82. I'm not sure how you expect the people here to believe that you held for this long, especially given that you mentioned the other day...

This is why this 2% is a little tricky. The 2% line will get steep because what you're tracking on the Y axis is profit. 2% of $1,000 is clearly much less than 2% of $10,000. This is exactly why I was saying that what is important is to focus on the ticks/points that are made, and the...

Exactly right. Sure, a 10% drop causes alarm bells to go off, but when you are back to the levels from just 7 or 8 months ago, it's not that tragic. Losing years of gains is another matter.

I completely agree. The first day of trading, during the overnight session, I couldn't place a trade. Got a message that trading was restricted to certain people or something like that. So I'm sure CME was testing out how well the MMs were going to keep it orderly between each other. By the...
