9 straight days of losing... I hope this keeps up.

God... I've got to catch up :cool:, I'm short 2 @ about 1223. Hopefully we can start going somewhere now. I've been on a losing streak for a week now. I've got some background data saying we should get a nice little downtrend!

You should not be surprised at this. Deregulation of the financial sector has been the goal of the political leaders of this country (including WallStreet/Banks) for a long time. This serves one purpose and that is to make sure the few that are in power maintain control of this country and keep...

Can't make a winning trade to save my life... sheesh.. and I'm following all my rules. Draw-downs will occur if market doesn't trend. Key is survivability! :/ @ 15.7k

-700 last Friday Sitting at 17.9k right now Not breaking rules, set ups just not working out. I've been working on some indicators to help me enter higher probability setups, looking at price, momentum and trade size.

Boredom is such a perspective. For as capable as most people are they sure are lazy. Once I'm free, I will do whatever, whenever with whoever. I can think of 1,000 things I'd rather do with my time than work. Work out, read, draw, eat at a new place, travel, play a game, make new...

-1009 trying to call a top. I had a trendline break, but I should have waited for more evidence the trend had changed. Short term Averages still up. I should have bought the pullback into a short term MA. Oh well, there's always next time :cool: @ 18.7k

Closed out long on Friday for +400 (I averaged in and then got stopped out of 1 contract so I closed them both).... -900 today doing day trades. @ 19.7k No more day-trades for me... too stressful, time consuming, random and difficult. 1 contract trend following (with fixed risk, 1...

The trades from the strategy above.

Who wouldn't take 50cent seriously... he got shot 7 times and still alive man..

Strategy with one input. Yes, this will illicit negative comments as the sample size is small, but I know the method has withstood the test of time (centuries). Time to forward test.

I'll post these when I feel like it, most likely at certain benchmarks. All time equity highs I believe. Open position: Long ESZ1 x 1 @ 1139.25 *corrected from earlier post* And to clear up any confusion, in the first post of this thread I said I don't use indicators. I do now and they...

Long ESZ1 x 1 @ 1138, Stop @ 1124.

+9k in past 2 days (obviously long trades on ES). Account at 20.2k. Cutting back size to break the 20k barrier (see previous posts). Next goal is to double account again. Still employing trend following (I use a combination of simple price indicators to tell me the "trend." Trend following is...

Damn it Matt... take this down, why are you giving away all your secrets? Just post realtime entry, and then add pic/explanations later.

Have you read any of my previous thread posts? I program in easy language which I feel provides plenty to create programs. Thanks for motivating me. I finally buckled down and coded my trend following system. I'm going to have it start trading 1 ES contract this week. I'll look into using NT.

Still trading in circles. Account high of 18.8k Monday the 26th, but I'm back to 11.2k. I've realized I don't really have an 'edge' or much of a plan other than just managing risk, and now that I've seen the power of risk management, I will be able to continue moving forward. I'm going to...

I'm surpised everyone is baffled by how he trades. The best signals are the ones you come up with yourself, and that everyone else woudln't think to do. You all just proved him more justified in using 99% fundamentals to trade because 99% of you wouldn't think to do it.
