Hi Everyone, ET has been a great site for learning how to properly trade. It's taken me about two years to learn get profitable on a consistent basis. And I hope I can keep improving. Along the way, I noticed that trading is similar to poker for its psychological and money management...

Hi Lefty, Your comments have been insightful. Thanks. I'm not much of an expert in trading, and am trying to figure out how pivots can imrpove both entries and exits. I use 3min charts and notice that more often than not price stops or hesitates at the pivots. At this short hesitation...

I've read a lot about trading pullbacks based on fibonacci retracements and have ssen a lot of samples and also observed them occur in real time. However, I've long been wondering which level will be the ONE off of which the price bounces or retraces from? In short, what entry signal tells...

can you make playback files from raw data for ensign? for example can you create playback files from .txt files of intraday data of dax or estx? thanks.

do you have to file income tax in the US if you trade e-mini futures, but are a non US resident and not a US citizen? or do you pay the taxes in your home country only? thanks.

i tried running autotrader with sierra charts, which i downloaded from the sierra site. i tired using both cme data and ensign data and the bid/offers in autotrader's playback were working ok or at least moving, but i couldnt get the chart up on sierra. is it because i'm using the demo of...

chart for 2/19

chart for 2/18

chart for 2/12 11am break

I've noticed that the NQs have been making a trading range lately before breaking out/down but before doing so, usually gives a false break then consolidates some more before the legit break. some examples are 2/11 (after 10am), 2/12 (11am) and 2/18 (between 9:45-10:30). i usually trade...

dsguns, i was wondering, what entry setup do you look for when buying on the pullback? and do you rely on indicators also or just bar/candlestick patterns?

daytraderpete, most of my trades are taking the trend on the intraday, but every now and then i do scalp specially i notice the day is in a range. i guess my question is more on reading the 'tape' through what the bars show you. in reviewing charts recently, i've noticed i missed some...

would anyone happen to have historical intraday data for NQ and ES?

how do you identify the good bar patterns in charts for e-minis? which ones are the reliable ones and are they identified in conjunction w/ indicator?

is there a site where you can see intraday charts (1min, 3min, 5min, etc) for the estx50 and dax? even if it delayed.

How relevant would you rate the market depth bid/offer postings on the es/nq with regards to your trading? i'm just wondering if you guys look at it much or just use it as a guide when one side or the other gets really heavy, or not look at it at all?

Thanks Db, You've always been very helpful. I have a question in relation to S/R levels or even with pivots. On days when these levels are very close to each other (maybe 4pts or so apart on the NQs) do you treat your setups differently knowing that the next resistance/support level is close...

Sorry i wasnt clear, i was looking for intraday signals.

Hi guys, i was wondering what chart tools (bars, candles, patterns, trendlines, etc) and/or indicators (or even strategies) provide reliable signals in distinguishing between: 1. when the nq/es is in a trend - retracements vs reversals and 2. when the es/nq is in a base (possibly...
