    Trades for 25/06/03 9:30 Begin 9:54 Long rocket signal but sitting @ resistance, so pass for now. B1 987.75 86.00 -1.75 (10:00) Enter on BO of yesterday's high - encouraged by higher acc/dic highs with each price peak (3 recent peaks - today/yesterday). My entry stop was @ 87.00 so...

    trades attributed but not placed

    Thanks guys for the quick feedback. It's good to know that there's a way to get past - "no i didn't" - "yes you did" - mode It's not an enormous amount of money but still. The trading platform was upgraded a few days ago and i wonder if that might give potential for an error.

    trades attributed but not placed

    Has anyone ever had trades attributed to them that they didn't place. I was trading ES using jtrader this morning and logged out around noon. When I logged on PM, I had a position in the mkt that I didn't place. When I contacted my broker, he said they were from my logon and were my orders...

    ES: patterns & rockets

    Trades for 24/06/03 (previious post should be 23rd - not 24th) Looking strong at open. Rocket signal from stocs (9:42) but not from MACD. If I took today as continuation of last night then I would enter rocket as MACD was strong near close. S1 980.00 81.75 -1.75 (10:23) (10:31)...

    The Stochastic Indicator

    put a buy stop a little above the mkt & a sell stop a little below - so that you go with whichever way the mkt chooses

    Trades for 24/06/03 Begin 13:30 Looks like I missed the action this AM. A new version of Jtrader today - excellent - which makes it much easier to enter stop orders. Tempted to go short around 14:40 when price moved below congestion - but sitting on hands. B1 980.25 80.00 -0.25...

    Which method makes you happy?

    I think you're the guy that takes the other side of all my trades. :(

    ES: patterns & rockets

    Thanks NihabaAshi for the comments, which I will study in detail. In quick response to some of your points: I also have small charts of TICK, TRIN, TIKI, EPREM & (since yesterday) T&S in my workspace. I used to pay a lot of attention to TICK & TRIN but use them more as background now (security...

    Trades for 20/06/03 9:45 Begin B1 998.75 998.00 -0.75 (10:36) (10:39) Entered rocket as per signal. Exited as per signal. B1 999.50 998.25 -1.25 (10:42) (10:51) Re-entered rocket as per signal. Exited a little late - not paying enough attention to stocs. B1 1000.25 99.25...

    ES: patterns & rockets

    Kicking, "patterns ... becoming traps" - this certainly resonates with me. It's difficult to imagine that they simply stop happening though. What's more likely is that the mkt goes through cycles - some patterns work for a while then stop - then start again.

    ES: patterns & rockets

    Trades for 19/06/03. Times are approximate (+/- 1 minute -ish). S1 1006.50 08.50 -2.00 (9:52) (10:01) Entered rocket as per signal. Soon after going into profit there was a sudden volume spike and price gyration. I tried to exit for a small profit with a limit order but didn't get...

    ES: patterns & rockets

    JK, Thanks for pointing out my mistake. It should be: Exit when: - Stoch(14,1,3) fast line < 80 (> 20) - signal when bar closed - exit next bar Unfortunately I can no longer edit my original post to correct it. :mad:

    ES: patterns & rockets

    ptt Can you help a European (Irish) with a time zone question. I notice the times on the Yahoo site are ET. I am using the times quoted on QCharts - which I think are based on CME - which I think is in a different zone. For synch, ES opens an 9:30 according to QCharts. Is this ET - if...

    ES: patterns & rockets

    nkoi Thanks. Yes I have my stocs the same as yours. The question above, about configuration, related to T&S - i.e. should I filter it, how to use it for BOs. By the way I just got toasted on a short rocket with that explosive reversal around 10:00. I think I would have stayed out of...

    ES: patterns & rockets

    T&S now added to my QCharts workspace. I guess I'm just interested in whether they're trading with or against me - so I've coloured 'best bid' red & 'best offer' blue. I might also filter out smaller trades in order to concentrate on the big orders. I'd be interested to know how others...
