Thanks for the chart. Would you mind posting the # of points you made on each winner? About keeping it simple. If you can keep yourself from being sucked into the storm of multiple indicators, ma's, filters, and the such; and K.I.S.S. the markets, I believe it will go much easier...

The meeting was great. 5 traders showed up and a short presentation about trading the mini's was given. Had 2 mini traders, 2 stock traders, and one option trader. I believe all 5 were full time traders. Met for 4 hours and everyone learned something, and contributed something. We probably...

Agree, but wonder how many people do this and not even know it, like I was doing!!!

LOL, critiques are welcome. Maybe it is that I am a nice guy, that people are being nice. My wife would conccur. I know, actually my expectancy for May was -.77. Yikes!! For every dollar I risked, I was losing 77 cents. I was going to wait for the end of June, and figure it out for the...

That, obviously (using hindsite), is what I have been doing these last 3 weeks. What I was doing in May, was using the "conventional". Yes. Yes. And I'm not sure that is what I want, right now. Yes, I understand what you are trying to say. I was trying to do a similar thing...

OK, that is what I thought. What feels good, actually is not, and what causes me to pinch by butt cheeks together (pretty graphic:) ) is what I should be looking at. Generally speaking.

Correct. Ultimately my long range goal is to capture half of the intraday travel range. Correct, it is a bit of overkill. So true. Combining swing wins, with scalpers risk. Too ambitious... thank you for being kind. :D Yes. In my mind, this is what I was trying to do. But not using...

Vulture answered this pretty well.

This is exactly what I was doing, flipping back and forth between the two. OK, this brings up some questions. I’m not sure what you mean by conventional techniques? I realize that the ES is a contrarian market, by this I mean that moves are fades with regularity. I learned this the...

OK, here we go. My big realization was I was combining two different mindsets into one plan, and not even knowing that I was doing it. I wanted the large gains (5-10 pts) of a swing trade, with the risk of a scalper (less than a point). It just doesn’t fit together. This whole thing...

Yesterday, I was re-reading vultures post (for the nth time) that he posted in another thread, and that I posted here. I knew there was something that was in there for me, but I could not find it. Then, all of a sudden it hit me like a 2x4 between the eyes.... I'll post later tonight, got...

I try to stay out of the market when those reports come out. Forgot about the one scheduled for 10:00 that day.

Ranges for Friday: Daily Range: 23 pts. Intraday Travel Range: 53 pts

Trade 4 - Shorted a rally at 1:48. Had a profit but watched it retrace. Now remember, if I would have held on to my last two trades a little longer, I would have been raking in the big bucks. Major Chaninga's. Ended up riding this to a 2.5 point loss, and to make matters worse, basically...

Gap down opening, uptrend to close the gap, as expected. I actually thought today would be an up day overall. Lower high after gap closed, and I almost traded it but was still thinking up trend. Got to learn not to think, just trade!!!!! Trade 1 - another small pop up, shorted. Had a...

Started 6 weeks ago, at the ohh, so, tender age of 42!!!!

I have a date with my wife tonight and am meeting her in an hour. I will post my trades and comments tommorrow. Everyone have a great weekend, and if any of you are in the Raleigh, NC area, we are having a trading meeting this Sunday at 1:00. Just show up!!! Directions are here...

It is a prop indicator to GET. The only thing I can change is the sensitivity.

The symbol of all relationships among such men, the moral symbol of respect for human beings, is the trader. We, who live by values, not by loot, are traders, both in manner and spirit. A trader is a man who earns what he gets and does not give or take the undeserved. A trader does not ask to be...

Many words in our generation have become bastardized. Love debased to sex. Commitment to convenience. Reality to perception. Truth to ideas. God to religion. To me, God is not a religion, but a relationship. Can I query my God? Yes, I can. Anyone can, but you might not hear...
