Interesting backstory, but clearly one's political views have nothing to do with their ability to trade or their understanding of the markets. What I find interesting is this. You're obviously the options guy. There was another respected member here, rallymode, who recently said that he...

He better leave my buddy Max alone! LOL.... He was the only other journal that I really enjoyed. You can stand up to bullies, which is admirable, but I do believe for this competition, you're toast. You even didn't really start on the correct day, given the rules he outlined. All of these...

I don't know enough about options to follow this journal properly, so I agree that this will get confusing. But from what I can piece together, this guy is a master. He is posting way more transparently than anyone else has, even if I don't understand it too well, but at least its all there so...

I don't know how far back your history goes, but it sounds like you've been shooting your mouth off as well and attacking his ability to trade. Incredibly smart people will defend their intellect at all costs. Because both of you have been less than respectful, there is simply no way to solve...

As a follow up to my post, I dug up my charts from my research. The only difference between these 2 charts is that the first used IB data feed, and 2nd chart is reloaded EOD. (When you reload, you have accurate data that is 10 minutes delayed) When looking at the bottom indicator, cumulative...

I agree 100%, and I'm sure this thread is getting a massive amount of traffic. I think Baron should make it a rule that before any idiot criticizes someone else or their trading, they need to show 10 trades in real time. The minute someone tries to help someone else trade, they need to...

I agree with you fully, and you're showing a million times more transparency. And I also agree that VZ is trying to sidestep this competition by focusing on your crass posting, perhaps even setting himself up for an early exit so that he has something to lean on. But lets face it, you might...

I'm surprised by this because anytime I use the live feed from IB, its not possible to use their data for studies that involve BID/ASK volume. Its simply gibberish, and they state so as well. When I reload my charts, through the data feed that Sierra uses, its accurate, but not in real time...

In all fairness, @southall has a point. The entry was clear for the 2 ES contracts, but the exit is buried within comments about TSLA. Yes, an experienced trader will realize equity markets are closed, and will understand quoting ES with only the 2 last digits, and if he is really quick with...

This is an excellent point. Not to say that I watch for this specifically, but because I watch short time frames, its amazing how many nuances are there. One this that has always amazed me is how price can move 4 or 8 ES ticks on little volume, or it can hardly move on huge volume. Having a...

Although I don't wholeheartedly disagree, I've seen many times how dangerous this is. Unprofitable vendors typically are very good about selling, or even just sharing concepts, but rarely can't put it all together themselves. In my opinion, you should only ever follow someone who has put it...

Do you really believe that FT71 offers anything useful? I'm some what familiar with his work, and after watching many of his prep videos, many of his other videos, and seeing that he is more so involved in the broker side of things, I can't help but conclude that he does not trade profitably...

In my humble opinion, who gives a shit what anyone else says? Honestly, as I read these posts in your journal, and being familiar with your previous journal, it just seems to me like too much emphasis is being placed on your feelings. We of course know that much of trading is psychological...

Typical method by which "super" traders operate on message boards is to take a chart, circle some areas where they supposedly took trades, and then claim it was easy. I even love how you say that the 15 min isn't a chart you trade. So why not just upload a picture of your chart, marked with...

I call bullshit on you schweiz (as have others already). If you're catching moves as you claim via your chart, and if you've got a system that works in all markets, you should be too rich to waste your time on anyone here and be trading from your super yacht. If you'd like to back up your...

Yup, I noticed that exactly as well. Perfect nice reversal above the previous day low, and then it makes even a lower low. The interesting thing was that the ES, on the second low, was much higher above its low. Of course though, its never the case where one always leads the other as they...

My bad. Yes, I understand what you say now. Your short would therefore have been at 7170.50, which is one tick below the bar in question, and your stop would have been around 7176.

T Thanks for the thorough reply. In my opinion, shorting the low of a big bear bar as you suggest is quite risky. So often price will retrace the entire move, just testing the same area, and although it can turn down again, which means your two tickets stop above the high is fine, it's...

I think you provide an excellent analysis, but what must be stated is that you use stops that are much bigger, and you will average into a losing trade as it goes more against you. This of course works for you, but for many strategies, it might not. Any time you are waiting for "confirmation"...

This is the price you pay for trading the NQ. I sympathize 100% with you as I see this over and over again with the NQ. The ES is better behaved I would say in that it takes much more momentum to move it past areas that you think it shouldn't move past. I think some of the reason why this is...
