Today's ES.

oxi, I don't have the links handy but they are in the journal. If you are brand new, I'd suggest starting by reading the resources that Spyder gives on page one of the journal, then make your way page by page. Plan to set aside several days to do this. Enjoy the journey. :)

threemini, I may have sounded a little harsh, so forgive me if I did. I understand where you were going with it, but I think you need to focus on the information that is right in front of you (this journal and all the great people that are posting to it). Yes it would be nice to meet Jack...

Pardon me for LOL but IMHO there is no way one is going to even come close to making a dent in learning this in a single weekend. Yea you might pick up a few of the basics, but you can learn all you need by going through this journal. Pr0crast has put together some really good summary info of...

Today's ES. The morning was confusing, but it was a good day nonetheless! :D

OP, Here was my thinking at the 10:48 trade. The Pt 3 (Forest Level) channel had been established at the 10:25 bar. I actually entered a long position at 10:36 and held it until 10:44 when I sold it and collected 2 points. (I don’t recall exactly why I got out here… things must have...

Tums, You bring up a good point. My real-money experience with TOS has been with option trades which are nearly always limit orders and I haven't noticed this problem. However, I don't know what it will be like when I start trading futs. I suppose I'll quickly find out when I start for...

ramora, I generally don't use stops, but I do use limit orders to get in and out of trades. For example, when I see an FTT forming and my tapes/channels are drawn, I can get a feel for the range within the bar. Often I'll place an order using limit orders to optimize my entry (or exit)...

OP, I don't try to be in the market at all times. I don't have that much confidence yet. I have been trading more like FTT to FTT. I like to see clear signals and as long as the signals tell me I should stay in (continuation), I stay in. For example, I recognize flaws much better now and...

OP, FWIW - I don't use esignal so I can't speak to that, but I use thinkorswim as my charting and trading platform. It does not support custom indicators (such as Str/Squ) so I use Excel for this. You've probably seen my charts, so you can see it does a decent job of annotations, and I like...

My ES today :)

Today’s ES. Looked a bit like yesterday. For my S/S model, I used an auto FV calculation that averages the last 50 ticks of the YM and INDU. As a result, my offset ranged between 56 and 58 throughout the day. I watched the S/S closely, but I can’t say it helped me that much (probably...

mep - I just got caught up on your journal. Thanks for posting the link in Spyder's thread. Also, thanks for your honesty in posting your results and thought process. A lot of us bring certain baggage to our trading (myself included), so it is nice to hear what others are thinking and...

Today's ES. Managed to nab a few points!:D
