Two trades in the AM. Both were the "Fill the Gap" setup.

Lots of good posts this weekend. Sorry I didn’t get back sooner, but we’re looking to move into larger quarters, so I have my own office, which will help with one of my biggest gripes, distractions. Note on stops, which I believe are the most important part of a trading system, even more...

Comments on chart.

Thanks, I needed the encouragement. I'm looking at my concepts, and really like them. They are simple, and hold out to real time testing, ie, been tracking them since the beginning of June. I know the concepts work, it is just a matter of me getting my timing down, and being able to jump...

Interesting day. I really like my s/r lines, just got to learn how to use them. I have a real problem when my first trade is a loser, especially a big loser like today. Made me fearful, and greedy all at the same time. Fear: Can't believe I knew the gap was gonna be filled. The...

Lots of notes on the chart. Start on the lower left, and go clockwise.

OK, I understand what you've said, and agree. I use it as a leftover from my commodity EOD trading. Is there a better way to gauge the intraday volatility on a one minute or five minute basis? I figured once the first several minutes were over, the ATR would settle down to an accurate...

No trades today. Here is the 5 minute chart.

This page is the one that kicks my butt. My big problem right now is I want everything to be off the 5 minute (except my triggers) ie setups and exits, but I want to use the 1 minute chart to figure out my ATR, and not the 5 because then my stops will be outside my comfort range. Whaaaaaa...

5 minute chart used for setups, 1 minute chart for triggers. ********************************* FIVE TYPES OF TRADES – BASED ON 5 MINUTE CHART 1. GAP FILL Setup: Gap opening relative to yesterday’s close (day session). Moving to fill gap prior to opening S/R line providing...

Here are two pages of my trading plan. The first page/post is my Trades page. It describes the concepts I use when trading. There are five of them. They are very basic, and well known. These concepts are backed up by my own combing thru old charts and seeing how the market works. This...

Deleted my first attempt. Could not see it clearly. Blew it up and tried again. My trades in A are not seen in this grab. Ohhh, much better.:)

Thank you for your posts. No, I am not pure discresionary trader. I have a set of rules and setups that I am supposed to follow. I spent Monday, rewriting my plan. It was still my "Commodity Trading Plan" and not my "ES Trading Plan". That I think will help in the future. I have not...

What a great looking chart. Easy trading off the 5, but a bear off the 1.

No trades this afternoon. Can't believe I just watched this decline. I even called the closing of the Fri gap, big deal, what good is knowing it if I ain't gonna trade it. Net for the day: -29.80 Net for the week: +141.40 Net for the month: +141.40

Just one trade today, and it was this morning. Tried to be diligent about watching the 5 minute, but it was alot harder than I thought.
