lol sorry 2 point, don't look like i will get to see it though

I wish i had read that before taking the long at 1537.25, 2 tick target.

I was with ya on this one but not liking price action thinking of going long. Closed em out for 1 tick gain.

Well its taking its time to move up, if it ever does move up!!! :mad: :confused:

Long as i can be at 1525.00, 1524.00 stop.

Well 1526.50 to 1527.00 was a previous support value for me as well as pivot line. Moreover, it was part of a bigger wave target for me which gave me the right 50% retracement of my FIB values. However, i really thought the market was being oversold at this point volume with hammer doji was...

Hey Apex, i was just wondering, what made you enter the trade at 1530 ? Instead of near the 1528 region? Just want to know why you saw the trade as more risk free at 1530 region, thanks.

Man IB sucks, i had sell limit at 1534.50 and a stop at break even. Hit 1534.50 and then when it came back 1532.50, for some reason a sell limit remained on the IB order (most likely my fault), i came back to the PC to realise i had sell order on at 1532.50 and basically washed out my gains on...

long here too ES at 1532.50

Thank you, i will try that Spectre. I am willing to learn anything that will help me understand price action. I am currently learning market profile and also applied quantitative methods for trading and investment - just to help me manage risk in the long run. Don't know how these will help...

Good day all. Newbie here, finally understanding price action a little now. Been studying hard,roughly 14 hours drift by in front of these screens everyday (strange thing is that i actually enjoy every minute of it), feels good that i finally understanding even something. First couple of days...

I would just like to make a quick comment regarding this thread: for newbies like myself this thread has provided some great learning points, would like to thank all for sharing their wisdom with rest of us. Good work guys, keep it up.

Excuse my ignorance, but where do you get information like this, market profile????

BUMP for some help and advice

Nigerian Oil Concern maybe???

Does the trend in bonds have much of a correlation with the YM? Could you give me some tips with how to use bonds to correctly toidentify trends in the YM. Also, any tips how to identify subtle trend changes using correlation between the YM and Crude. Thanks in advance and any help will...

Thanks for the advice mate. All my scalper strategies are based on pre-defined parameters for exit and entry. Each strategy has a target and a stop based on the market variables and the strategy which is in play. Moreover, i am continually learning and trying to improve my strategy...

Your experience is very distressing to me as i have only started trading live. My strategy is not just to scalp but i have fixed limits on portfolio allocation towards intra-day trades and swing positions. I have allocated a small percentage to very long positions as well. I hope i can...

Its not impossible, certain strategies work well in choppy market conditions. I hope you was not referring to me in your previous quote??

Yep very choppy, very annoying. However, being a patient newbie to the YM i have managed to scalp 40 points for 2 contracts. Hope i dont give it back before the end of the day. Good luck all.
