    To what extent do you use indicators?

    Terry, The indicators are password protected. Without looking at the code it could be a major disaster for traders.

    To what extent do you use indicators?

    Most indicators don't work and those that sometimes work, work because people think that they do. However, as a future trader I do use technical indicators and without them I would have a harder time trading. First and beyond all, geometrics and volume. Of lesser importance but still...

    Ladies, Gentlemen, meet Neet - the Machine

    Dandxg, I know I said I like to keep it simple but my trading is far from mechanical. I rely on so many different setups and conditions I would not know where to start backtesting it. Perhaps the biggest hurdle backtesting this is that no trading day repeats itself over the course of...

    Fractal, I'm saving your words in a text file. That's how valuable I found your post. Thank you.

    Ladies, Gentlemen, meet Neet - the Machine

    Thank you. I like to trade the YM and the ES depending on which is following who, if at all. I use a personal strategy, definitely not unique, that is simple but effective. You must make an effort to determine the current trend and exploit the best opportunities. Long the retracements...

    Ladies, Gentlemen, meet Neet - the Machine

    John, Thank you friend. I'm mostly a trend follower and very patient at it. I do not bet against it, if the current trend is neutral I tend to take the sidelines. No reason to gamble. First you determine the current trend, should there be one. Then you wait until one side panics and...

    Don't think I've ever felt like a color but I do sense a trick question.

    Ladies, Gentlemen, meet Neet - the Machine

    Another flawless week for Neet the Machine. Today was slow and boring although to be expected due to Friday Afternoon (boy wasnt the previous Friday beautiful?) plus option expiration. Nevertheless, a good pivot play in the morning was more than enough to start the long weekend early...

    90% Profitable Setup

    The setup takes two thirds at +10. Unless the remaining third scored an insane run, I don't see how this was possible. Perhaps a mistake in the post ?

    scaling in and the purpose.

    It's a matter of accuracy and anticipation.

    Ladies, Gentlemen, meet Neet - the Machine

    I don't ignore the first 15 minutes, I just don't trade it. However, some traders find real good opportunities during that timeframe. It's just not my style but I do extract info from the timeframe to create some customed indicators, nothing fancy, just personal style. It's amazing the...

    Ladies, Gentlemen, meet Neet - the Machine

    I am happy and very honored to report that I think I have finally got it. For the past weeks I have been trading like a beast. Quite frankly, I feel like a machine. Not being arrogant, I'm just overwhelmed. If it helps here are a few things I've been doing. - Rarely going against the...

    90% Profitable Setup

    Day after day I see the incessant ones trying to label PureTick as a scam because everyone else out there charging for rooms is. If it looks like a dog, it must be a dog. Innocent until proven guilty guys. You want guilt ? Daytradeteam.com, horrible trading. That room should be shut...

    Do you use Martingale position sizing?

    In my case if my original stop is hit, it's game over, a losing trade.

    Do you use Martingale position sizing?

    I could not disagree more. It's really hard to enter at optimum price levels, no one is that accurate. This is even more relevant in futures where you pay commission for each contract regardless of entry price. The real error is when people **"add" to the loser when the price goes...

    YM getting thin

    I did notice a few 2 tick spreads today on the YM but imho it's still far from thin. ER2 is far too volatile for me.

    90% Profitable Setup

    Not only does PureTick rock but some of the members in the channel (paid subscribers) rock as well. Great atmosphere in there. It's not just Alex, there are some individuals there that are serious traders, some even money machines.

    When does one start trading big

    It's all about money management. Want to do 10+ contracts ? Go for it, but do it wisely. ie: Start with 1 and add as the trade moves in your favor while trailing the stop If you do the above with discipline and use your brains, if the trade goes against you, the trailing stop will not...
