Nice work TraderTX, especially for a pretty quiet day. :) When working the Er2, do you use a fixed size stop, or simply use PA for the stop location? Also, what's you plan for when the ER2 leaves the CME in a few weeks?

If this is a continuation of SusannaDT's very insightful PA journal (now closed), then I'm all for it.

The attacks got personal.

I think she has valid personal reasons for her protest. Unfortunately, I don't think her "hunger strike" will be effective in getting Puretick kicked off of ET. I personally which she had left the thread open, even with her choice to not participate on ET, since the thread had built up a...

Wow....really sorry to see this Susanna. This has been the best thread since AHG, and I have found your posted charts particularly helpful in slowly converting to indicatorless PA trading. It certainly appears from his prior posts that Alex from PT has overstepped his bounds. I hope this...

I highly recommend the Matrox TripleHeadtoGo. It's about the size of a deck of cards, so easy to take with you. I've been using it with one of my laptops for over a year now. Works on just about any laptop, so you don't need to go hunting for some esoteric laptop that's specially configured...

FWIW, I find Point & Figure charts very useful in seeing S/R zones because they cut out a lot of the noise (there's no time element on a P&F chart, just price movement over a specified size). I favor a 1 x 6 for the ES (which means a new bar only prints when there's been 6 ticks or more in...

Oh, I see...a disciple of that chocolate bar fellow.

Who is Mr. Black?

Anek - How are you able to get a chart with 5 second bars on TS? As far as I know, they haven't released the ability to plot time-based bars less than 1 minute. Or is that Multicharts with a TS data feed? Thanks. Sandy

Good points, Austin. So do you use an anchor and entry chart, or just one chart for your trading?

Susana - Why not use a stop entry on the magic tick trigger? You could set it to be a stop limit order with max 1 tick slippage. It's relatively rare that a stop order isn't filled at your desired price in the ES, and rarer still for it not to fill 1 tick away from your desired entry...

I look forward to hearing about your experience.

Very nice work Max....hope you're still holding onto that long!

OK, thanks jjrvat. What platform do you use to make that type of chart? Yes, it's a simple way to see price action, and simple is good for trading.

jjrvat - Interesting chart (just plotting 3 bar reversals). Is it possible to do that in either Tradestation or Ninja? Thanks. Sandy

cchili - I remember your posted charts on the AHG thread quite well (I printed them out to put them in my AHG binder of studying materials). Very glad to see you resurface here, and I look forward to you sharing your insights. Sandy

I'll weigh in on this before Susana replies. Using a 3BR or Matching Hi/low with magic tick entry gives you additional security that price is reversing in your direction (i.e. pullback is over and trend is resuming), demonstrating that the S/R level is holding to some degree. However, you...

Cool. Thanks for the details on your entries and position management, 123abc. Congrats on an awesome day!

Nice 123abc. Hope you actually got all those trades. What's your entry technique? A 3 bar reversal pattern like Susana uses (with the magic tick entry), or just put limit orders out there at the resistance level, or look for a stall on a faster chart at the R level, or???
