Actually, this is totally wrong. This started with you questioning the OP about how easily influenced he is by posting publicly. I was stating that I fully understand how this could be so and hence was backing him up. I didn't saying anything I said to feel superior or put you down. You may...

Its 100% relevant. You are giving advice to someone else, almost calling them out for being influenced by posting in a public journal, as if they should somehow be less influenced, but you yourself haven't managed to put all the pieces together to make trading work. It has nothing to do with...

Technically, didn't you also stop posting in your journal because you didn't do well? Perhaps the act of posting didn't influence any of your decisions, but I do still remember your journal ended rather quickly. I do believe that there is very much of a negative influence with a public...

I'm not sure if what you need is of any importance. Its like telling the market you need it to go up another 2 points so you can get out. What you need doesn't matter one bit. All you got right now is me talking to you, and that is pretty useless... LOL But hey, at least you know what you...

I completely agree, but there are places in the chart where the liquidity is sparse. I know I've tried getting filled at certain levels many times and I was way too far back in the que. So when some of these guys are not wanting to share their entries, it could be because they might be giving...

If you are this far along, what do you need from someone else? What if someone told you they buy every low volume node when using market profile.. does this help you? What if they said they fade any move where the ES goes 20 points because 20 point range days are rare... will you follow them...

LOL. Lets just assume you are completely right about Handle and you cracked the case wide open. Given this comment above, and the rest of the things you said, do you really think anyone else who is actually a profitable trader will contribute anything? They don't need to discuss anything...

I see his posts just fine, so not sure what the problem is on your end. Its very possible that most don't trade on here, or just trade in SIM, who knows. If you don't want to waste your time, don't come to ET. It really is a fairly big waste of time in my opinion if what you want to do is...

Well, listen, I'm all for people showing something concrete, but if you really have been around since 2009 and reading, then you would see how rare this is. There are lots of threads around where people make trade calls in real time, and you can follow those, although most either don't last...

I understand that trying to have a conversation about trading by just sticking with talk about entries is something you want, but you're kind of going about it quite rudely. He doesn't have to show you anything, and then you have the choice to not believe anything he says. Asking for a...

Sorry... didn't mean to single you out at all, its simply just that you were sharing enough info for this to stand out. I suspect most on this board are in a similar position of being well versed on all things trading, but having trouble raking in profits. As you can see, I have been asking...

Just read over my reply and this jumped out at me. I didn't in any way mean for this to be condescending because of course you know that the trade can go either way. What I meant by "I wonder if you know this" was if you had any stats for which occurrence usually happens, and if knowing this...

Thanks for sharing all the great info. There is nothing like providing hard stats when talking about trading... something that I find is sorely missing from discussions here at ET.

I have no doubt that with you building something that works so well, that you couldn't tweak it to future market conditions or come up with something for different environments. Does it do better in ranging or trend environments? I imagine that with a target of 10 ticks or so, the type of day...

Absolutely. Its also interesting that with 57% wins and 7% scratches, you say you still have to go through maybe 3 to 4 losses in a row. This is certainly within statistical expectation, but its always good to highlight this. A trader has to be prepared for 4 losses in a row and have that not...

Thanks for the details. Seems to work very nicely based on the math. :)

Thanks! It sure helps put things into perspective when people talk about winning and losing trades and being profitable, etc. Are you able to comment on the win rate? Clearly, with a win of 10 and loss of 6, even 50% win rate is profitable.

So let me see if I understand what you're saying properly. You have an initial entry, and if this goes against you, you are able to re-enter 4 more times, at prices that would be worse than your original entry? If this is in fact correct, are you able to say how often you would hit your...

Are you also able to comment on what your average win might be in terms of ticks and also win rate? Thanks.

Ah, ok. Now I wonder if you know this. Some of the time, it might go against you right away, so there isn't even time to get that BE stop and you have to take a loss on it. Some of the time, it might go into your favor right away, but you aren't quick enough to take a profit and maybe it just...
