Are you talking about stocks or futures?

I learned a thing or two. It kind of re-enforced some of my own personal market observations on the ES. Buy Low Sell High.... Figuring out the approximate low and high for the day and actually trusting my analysis is what I am struggling with.

Read the first 100 pages of the thread until NYSESTOCKS stopped posting. It was an enjoyable read that's for sure. Is it worth to go through the whole 574?

I'm long via UCO eft. Thinking we we will have a replacement up to 47 or so. I am noob tho what do I know. Just gambling. I will stop out if we go below the 42 and stay there.

I agree that bogus trading educators are parasitic but travel channels like that girl are great. It gives the 9-5 herd something to dream about and a perspective on alternative lifestyles. This is stuff that you will never see on mainstream TV. These type of channels open peoples eyes. Most of...

Travelling is as expensive as you want it to be. I spent 3 months travelling in South East Asia a few years ago and the whole trip cost me $5k Canadian including flights. I did not stay in hostels either. The longer you travel the cheaper it can be done. I don't understand the hate for these...

I record sessions on and off but I find it very hard to sit and re-watch the action. I have that same recording software, you can set the settings so the files are not that big. A 2.5 hour session takes 90mb if no sound and is in excellent quality. My new plan is to record with sound and...

I read the Adam Grimes book, have not checked out the online course. My methodology is coming along quite well at this point its just hard for me to take every signal in a timely manner . I read the Mark Douglas book when I was starting out, Time for a re-read. I basically make every text book...

Now that makes sense.

What profit target are you working with? Some times the range is only 5-7 points for the whole day.

I like chaos and dysfunction keeps you on your toes and your mind sharp to be problem solving and learning new stuff all the time. I've been watching the s&p every single day since end of February. I missed two days in that time period. I know some people say ES is not for beginners but I have...

I need to talk about these issues somewhere. My girlfriend is sick of hearing about it. I had lots of success using forums for other self improvement type projects in my life so I figure why not talk about my trading "demons" public I'm thinking of maybe relocating to a third world country to...

Here are some annotated charts since May 31st. The two sloppy days were a bit of a mess. The r/r figures were my initial stop and targets but I never really achieve them because I cut my trades short. Had some personal issues last 2 weeks as well. Costly car repairs and relationship issues so...

A bit of an update on my progress. I paper traded all of May trying to dial in level identification and also getting better at understand how to read the price action at the levels by looking at price action patterns and depth and sales. My chart reading is getting better for sure and I really...

Ye i watch yesterday high, low, close as minor levels kind of like a speed bump and s/r zone of the hourly chart as major s/r levels where reversals are more likely.

Through trail and error I have been getting better and better at spotting price levels. I use price action with confirmation from the DOM to make sure that I am not the only one watching these levels. They are not exact to the tick obviously but pretty key areas. How do you go about adjusting...

Comparing the June and Sept contract you are absolutely right. My levels were off by about -2.25. Stupid rookie mistake cost me $600. Lesson learned. I am trying to figure out how to setup the roll over properly in Sierra chart now. Is there a point in time that the September contract will match...

How do you guys handle the contract roll over? Yesterday was Roll over date but June contract had more volume so I traded that and everything was as usual. Today September had more so I swapped to it but my levels were no longer valid because prices are just not the same between them two. I...

5 point stop for Day Trading ES seems excessive, at that point you are just hoping that price comes back to your entry or beyond. Maybe for swing trading off of big s/r levels.
