Well, let me be the first to hope that you are right. I wouldn't wish that sort of trauma on the people of New York City. :D

LOL. As I recall, you were recently wondering who would be so stupid to short ES after hours (Was it over the Labor Day holiday?) and that short ended up being something like a 30 point winner. Didn't you learn your lesson about trying to be Mr. Smarty Pants Predictor back then?

I'm not making 10 or 15 trades between 0930 and 1130 because that isn't the plan. Not trying to be a smart ass, but since this plan seems to work so far, I don't see any need to change it by adding more trades and thus more risk. One of the things I want to do is be out of the market as much...

I didn’t change the NQ target to 2.50 like I mentioned I might yesterday, stuck with 3.00. Ate one double-loser on the NQ that might have been a winner @ 2.50, but then again if I change it to 2.50 there would be some trades that would be winner at 2.00 – so I’ll just leave it alone for...

Okay, I understand what you are saying. You've been saying that all along but I was a bit to defensive to see it. Sorry about that.

LOL. Yes, NQZ took a double-whammy on the 10:25 trade after an obscene 24 minute hold.

Let me add one other thing - above I said something about being profitable being that main thing - let me clarify. Certainly, being profitable is a requirement. Illiquid suggested that maybe currently profitable traders couldn't take anything from a system like this, and that may be true...

Well, I guess that is my end point - profits. That's all I care about - not understanding how they come beyond I did x,y,z and here they are. I don't really care why x,y,z works. You are not antagonizing at all. But I'm not really sure what you are trying to say - are you saying that...

I think you are still missing the real point here - it's not only the indicator - it's the whole idea on how to go about trading. I didn't go back and verify, but I think there are at least 3 or 4 other people on this thread who have come up with something that seems to work along the same...

No, I don't think I said that anywhere - nor did anyone else. Maybe you are being confused by the discussion - nothing has changed about how I'm trading the system. I never said the system needed SAR double downs to make up for losers - in fact, if you follow my trades, I haven't doubled...

Try 17,1,17.

ZZZ - Thanks - I appreciate your comments!

Thanks for the comments. No, I haven't used this with any stocks - not sure if it would work or not. I suspect it wouldn't work on anything that doesn't move as much as ES/NQ. My comment earlier wasn't about using the system on GE stock - I was talking about the possibility of using...

Ctrader explained it correctly. Since I was still in the 9:35 trade when te 9:38 trade hit, I keep both trades - but this time the 9:38 was in the opposite direction, so I reversed it at that point - which left me with a -1.50 on it.

Globex is also closed from 11:00pm to midnight, except on Sunday nights, eastern time.

Yes, but of course I'm not watching the clock - just waiting for the 9:33 bar on my chart to open (which I have marked ahead of time) - and then clicking the mouse on the price, or quickly changing the price on TWS. ..... Thanks - I'm glad it's generated so much discussion and interest.

Hmmm. Think about how many points you'd make if you didn't feed your cat for a few days. That would be a lot of meowing. :D

Lord know's I have a notebook of scribblings of just those types of thoughts. Never fails, when I go back a week later to read them and see if they have any merit, I can't for the life of me figure out what in the hell I was talking about when I wrote them. :)

Do you mean exactly how I decide what direction to trade? Yes, I'm using stochastics - I'm looking at stochastics on a 2 minute chart - not a one minute. When the appropriate one minute bar hits, I look over at the stoch on the 2 minute chart. If one line is above the other, I go long...

Yes - that's exactly true. Most of the time I've been hitting the bid or ask because that is what the open of the bar is.
