Would you be willing to expand on this? Attached is the hourly and daily NQ chart. Is it evident to you on these charts? (other than the obvious swing low from about March 8) The red arrow highlights the day in question.

My personal opinion is that you're trading too much stuff. I really don't see how you can watch these different, uncorrelated instruments and still try to day trade them. I only watch ES/NQ. I also think that to say you want to pull 50 points out consistently is really quite short sighted...

To be honest, I have no idea what your problem is and I almost suspect that you are trolling. You post how every single day ends well, even if it started out rough. You have no problem adding lots of contracts, even if they are only the micros, and you have been here since 2002. Now I see...

I almost think that Gain must have not adjusted their pricing for the micro because the number you quote is astronomical. With IB, its 47 cents per side for both MNQ and MES. This means that for MNQ, you need 2 ticks profit to cover commission, and then you're left with 6 cents. For MES...

Exactly right. What does it even mean to win? Clearly not every American citizen and not every sector of the economy can ever win. Heck, Wallstreet has been winning for years, but how is Mainstreet doing? So I'm not really sure what winning even means. Maybe 10 years down the road it...

Oh, and the answer to this is because it's incredibly difficult to trade ES outright day after day. Not just the odd good call and then silence for days.

I guess it all depends on the purpose of posting a call. It shows how well one can or can't trade a specific market. Your PnL clearly shows you are at the top of your game, but it doesn't say much about your ES trading. I venture to guess that if forced to only trade the ES, your PnL wouldn't...

It's not about holding hands. It's about following through. You said you are paying someone to tally up his trades, so you clearly understand the value in this. Your blotter, as good as it is, doesn't show your ES trades. If you cover and go short, it doesn't reflect this. I don't question...

Who's in the cool club???

Your journaling is almost approaching the transparency of B1S2... Lol.... But I appreciate the update.

Hey @destriero , I don't doubt your screenshots as they look pretty legit. I have an IB account as well, and as you said, a pic of the screen is much better than a screenshot from a computer since you can easily edit that. But there has been no mention of your call to buy all you can at 60.25...

Fair enough, but since you're jumping on B1S2, I figure its only fair. For the record, I don't even see his posts, LOL, blocked him a while back because most of what he says is useless (other than trade management being so important). But the least we can do is attempt to self regulate this...

Making observations isn't a bad start, but think about how you're gonna trade it. When it comes time to put on a trade, you will either have to enter at whatever level you're watching, or wait till it does what you want it to do, and then your stop will be even wider. My advise is take what...

I don't disagree with this. But if you want people to give you credit, then you have to once again say which HWB's you're trading and where you are getting in and out. I hear Fib guys all the time saying the 61% is golden. But if it blows past that, then the 78. And if that doesn't work...

Now here is a call I can at least respect. Much wider than your usual stops though.

So does this mean you went short at 93? How about that 2961 high to the low of 2901 on Thursday May 2. That blew past the 50%. Or how about the 2961 high to the low of 2883 on Sunday May 5 evening. That also blew past 50% The next low at 2863 on May 7 doesn't make it up to 50%. But hey...

I am on the "Journal Integrity" crew.:D

When you post a trade with a 1 point stop, its fairly easy to say that it either works or doesn't work. And this once again is even more reason why a trade needs to be called. You can say it deserves increased attention, but it all boils down to taking a trade, or not. And when you do, the...

How much money has it printed for you? The trouble with the HWB concept is that you're in essence looking to see where it worked, after the fact. Will you be a buyer or seller each time it goes back 50%? What time frame are you using? Are you doing it on the 5 min, the hourly chart, the 1...
