it depends on what you are talking about..about trading options using volatility analysis..answer is probably no..as I decided not to take that route..about daytrading stocks and futures.. answer is probably yes as I decided to take that route if you have made progress..then odds are it is...

to answer your question as best I can..it can be beneficial to look at what you have done on your last trade before moving on to the next..if you do 1000 trades with no feedback..or even 10 trades with no feedback..how are you ever going to make the required adjustments..as adjustments will be...

how does it show why the price has moved down..everyone knows price moves by buyers and sellers acting..but the reasons why they act are..well..varied..and not published along with the trade!

fairly new here myself..if you really want some feedback on what you are doing then you need to put some time into presenting your scenario for discussion..in short..post pictures of what you are talking about..far too many posters here who just ramble on about nothing and just waste their...

I will not be incorporating anything new into my strategy for daytrading the MES..having spent a good few hours reading the book I have come to the conclusion that it is not of any real value..I believe my own approach is less risky per trade..which to me is the most important thing to get right...

you write the way you want to write..if someone doesn't like it..tuff s**t :)

I am not one for TA..but I have just come across something that might assist with the timing you speak about..I think I will incorporate it into my setup for trading the micro ES and see if it is of any real value..too early to mention anything yet but if of any value will say so so far there...

as far as I remember yes..currently working on same so will let you know

which line is longer? hint hint..the answer is right in front of you!

to answer your question..no..as not trading ES at the moment..but will be starting shortly with micro contract..which I believe will be MES key point is not just one point imo..for instance..the strategy has to work..meaning..it has to provide numerous low risk entries over a set period of...

today was actually not a bad day to trade I do not think so..in relation to profitable trading..I think consistency should be associated with strategy..and discipline associated with emotions..after risk management they are the 2 things that will either make..or break..a trader

I have to agree with you..it is next to impossible to compete with the algo traders as they all keep changing their parameters..it is like trying to catch a fly..very hard what do you base your analysis on?

it is not easy..if it was anyone could do it..there is a direct link between consistency and discipline..doing the same thing over and over works both ways..so..to win..one must do the thing that is the least risky..and when confirmed..make use of the situation..or..the good luck trading...

it is very easy to trade..any silly willy can do it..but getting the timing right to limit risk can be tricky..and even when you think you are good at it you can easily have multiple trades go against you from the moment you enter..lady luck! however..by playing the numbers.. along with good...

i used to..futures and options..stopped due to personal reasons some time ago..getting back into things just now and hopefully be ready to start again when micro minis launch next month..you would be amazed how much you forget when you stop..I am in no hurry to lose money as I know how easy it...

you did not answer the question..what was your risk set at..from what you say.. depending on Delta..stock had to move between 40 to 80 cent..or bit more how many contracts or shares traded for the $184 loss?

it should be all relative to how much you have..the % risk per trade should never change.. adding to winners is another trade..not the initial trade!! you sound like you are not in control..which is bad..you should enter when the time is right..and exit when the time is right also..after...

that looks very good..can you show the trade log or do you want to not show? be interested in seeing times and then comment on same

$2k is a nice bit..how many contracts and what was your risk on the trade..please don't say you don't know..how long in trade?

who are they and I will look them up..be interesting to see what they say
