    Questions for experienced ES daytraders?

    Not to be rude... but may I ask a question? You are offering lots of advice, none of which seems bad, but your journal of trying to make 1 point per day didn't go too well. In fact, you took such heavy losses right at the beginning, that it seems like you were trading more emotionally...

    Questions for experienced ES daytraders?

    This is a very interesting piece of information. Thanks for sharing. It does appear to me that many expert traders average down, instead of taking a loss, because for the most part, they are able to get out BE or with a win. They key of course is knowing where your max pain is, and how often...

    ES day trading journal - my final attempt

    I commend you for your willingness to put yourself out there. I'm curious, with all of those BE trades (the 8.5 profits ones), have you done any stats on what could have happened if you stayed in the trade (as per my previous post)? I can't get over the fact that your average win is so much...

    ES day trading journal - my final attempt

    Looking at your most recent stats, its pretty obvious what is happening. You're risking far too much for too little gain. Take just this day, and do this. Make a spreadsheet to follow each trade and see what would happen with different risk to reward ratios. For example, pretend that you had...

    "Use Limit Orders"

    For the second example, I would imagine so that your order isn't visible until just before it would fill. The other reason for buy stop limit orders is so that you can buy, when price is below you, but limit it to your specific price. If price is at 50 as you say, any prices above are limit...

    SizeTrade.com Trading

    Would you disclose the financial proceeds that this trader makes from you guys? I'm just trying to ascertain if the trader makes more from running the signal service, or if he makes more from trading. Clearly, the trading income should dwarf the employment income, which then begs the question...

    Why don't you just trade 100 contracts yourself and forget this whole waste of time on running a website and teaching?

    Looking for a 17 inch Laptop for 4-5 DOMs and Charting

    Couldn't agree with this more. Most will say either the one they own is the best, or the one they own is crap, and leave it at that. So I would say this one is the best.. since I have an older version. :)...

    Buckle up Guys its starting

    I highly doubt the "inevitable increase in interest rates". Maybe 0.25% just to show they can, but nothing meaningful. Where will all this growth in economies come from? In Canada, the personal debt ratio just keeps getting worse and worse. If anything, growth from the future has already...

    Trader PnL 2015

    You only allow it meaning you have control over the market? Or are you saying that you know which will be the losing trade so you only take one? Both of course are ridiculous. Does this also mean that you at most have 1 losing trade out of 10 so you have a win rate that is over 90%. If this...

    My NQ Journey

    And he is supposed to do this how... by looking at your perfect hindsight charts? Show me how you take trades each of the times that price approaches one of your levels and then we have something to work with. So you're already diverting attention from the real issue. This isn't about telling...

    My NQ Journey

    To the OP, Just a word of advice. Before you start thinking that you stumbled across some saint who wants to help you by saying how easy it is to trade the market, ask him to show you where his trades are... all of them... each and every single entry and exit for at least a few weeks/months...

    Hit for Apple self driving cars?

    And lets not forget that Apple is typically at the top end of the price scale. If all you're doing is ordering a self driving Uber to pick you up, I'm not sure if you need premium quality, you just need something safe and reliable. If its a car for personal use and purchase, once again, I'm...

    My goal is to make at least 30% per month

    Yes, and because of all this, I would actually be more than willing to pay for the privilege of using a forum where I don't have to put up with this. I realize Baron cannot do any sort of fact checking and figure out who is truly profitable, who is actually trading for a living, and who is just...

    My goal is to make at least 30% per month

    Totally agree... just wasn't sure how it would end. It wasn't too long ago where that guy, creditcard, or something like this, came around as a vendor claiming he was going to make 600%. After about 3 trades, I think he was finished, but at least he was up front about it. The trouble with...

    My goal is to make at least 30% per month

    I will tell you what else doesn't add up. First he threatens to put people on his ignore list (as if that will upset anyone), and even though he says he does, he eventually says that he cleared his list. Anyone who actually gets pissed off enough by someone never clears their list, unless the...

    Project X

    Marsman himself is all over the place so I'm not sure why the attempt at trying to stay on topic. First he argues with everyone... blocks a bunch of people... says later that he cleared his blocked list... pretends he doesn't want anything from anyone.... then makes it seem like he is looking...

    Project X

    As much as I'd like to believe you marsman, something just doesn't sound right. You talk with so much confidence, and yet you've been trading live a few days. If you have such an amazing system that you are so proud of, why wait this long to finally try trading it live? Also.. why the need...
