Greetings, That is a great post,and gives great encouragement to me in my learning. I was wondering if you ever mix up your indexes?I have been watching several,YM ,ES,QM,QG. I look for one with a tradable chart,as of late I hit the QM. My targets are .10 QM, .02 QG,1 ES,and 10...

Greetings, Well said Gary,I hear it always that "you gotta let winners run",thats easy to say when price has doubled. I'm happy to pick up a profit no matter how small.Warren Buffett's quote"How to make money?don't lose it!"Simple and to the point. I am beginning to incorporate your...

Greetings, I hear alot of good reviews of his books,Ive got "The disciplined trader"on reserve at my local library,its currrently on a 2 week wait. I don't know if he talks about this subject at all,but Ive heard the analogy to insanity."trying to predict the unpredictable".The ability to...

Greetings Gary, It looks to me that the move above 300 should be cautioned as a bull trap-toppy pattern,with your valid flag also in play,a nice move either way seems worth waiting for.Nice placement for you S/R,as it shoud reward well. cordially Tom

Greetings, I had the range on YM at 5,too small for sure,bumping it up to 10.I've also used it for QM with a .20,still fine tuning that,but have caught some nice moves.The MA's seem to trigger good entries with YM so far. Thanks again for the great advice. cordially Tom

Greetings Gary, Looking at that chart,2 gaps look like a target to get filled.The last gap up got filled and sold off promptly.IMO I see downside very possible. On a side note,Ive traded using range charts all week as suggested by Krishiyer,its been very helpful in my setups.Caught some...

Greetings, I was referring to krishyer's chart set up,by cleaner,I just liked the way it looked.Have never used the range style.Hope it wasn't taken in a negative way. cordially Tom

Greetings, Ive found exiting trades to be much more difficult than entering since ive been trading futes.I usually have a 2-1 ratio set up on the bracket trade,but often Ill exit with a market if trade seems to be stalling and am not comfortable with buying the stop.This applies to the YM but...

Greetings, I like the look of your charts,it looks cleaner than what Im watching. My set up is very basic,and some will likely feel its risky.My usual profits are made when the market is ranging,I pick up 5-10 pts throughout the day.My stop is very tight,usually less than 5 when I get an...

Greetings Gary and all, I visit here regularly,but trade the YM mostly,so I hesitate to post.I have been picking up on average 15 net points per day for the last month,trading with limited skills.It slowly is adding up,and I dont pretend to know what Im doing. My question is the topic of...

Greetings Dr, When you post that you bought 90k worth,is that the average price?Or are you able to get that many shares at a specific price? I am a small fry compared to your type of trading,with that kind of volume,every penny counts.I've seen your Mr Market thread,and I know you're the...

Greetings, Funny you mentioned that,as I saw the YM go dead,I noticed during the day that the ES and NQ dropped quite a bit,when it resumed,it was still trading at a premium.It took about 30 mins for it to align with the others,seemed too easy money,and I passed.Same happened this week with...

Greetings, Thanks to all for the input,after thinking about it for a while,a couple of things came to mind. A limit move could be great if your on the right side.That is statistically 50% of the risk removed,depending on your trading style. In theory,if your stop was blown through on a...

Greetings, Could anyone give me a place to look for info on limit down or up days?Ive heard this is the most dangerous part of futures trading,and a plan needs to be in place in the event your locked in on the wrong side. Ive googled several phrases,and I get just the definition.Do you folks...

Greetings, Sorry if a little of topic but to relate,had a meager but profitable 15 pts on the YM before the FOMC,closed trade and watched the chart only,could not tell what they did by the action,but shorted 11290,with a 11305 stop since it backed down from 300 quick. Sure enough it...

Greetings, What should have been a .20 per contract gain turned into a .04 x 4 loss,could have been worse,almost didnt realise what I did.Has since dropped over $1 since,X4 =10k goof. Peace ,Tom

Greetings, Thanks for the reply,very helpful.I've been trading several indexes,usually screw myself more often than not. As some of you may remember,I was martingaling some trades,with my stop as the trigger for the reversal,I used it last week with QG,and caught a real nice move down,only...

Greetings, Its been a while since last here,could someone answer a naive couple of questions for me? 1 Ive seen the abbr. used "TF",could someone clarify? 2 Tax time,This will be my first year with futures trades,and some days theres alot.How do most of you handle your trade data for...

Greetings, Anyone promoting Tithing as an Israelite,must be prepared to live as a Levite,the receiver of the Tithe. Any Christian promoting Tithing should have their head examined.Its an Old covenant message,never mentioned in the New Covenant. God does not need your money,the poor need...

Greetings to all, I had a good day trading the YM which seems to be reacting a little different than the rest. My best trade involved what I call a Martingale.I was inches from setting a long with a reverse stop near todays low,but fear of overtrading kept me from picking up another...
