Are you trading ES3Z a few days early?

Smart routing is for stocks, not for futures.

ES3U 2 Point Equal Range Chart.

I haven't seen the idea of Equal Range charts talked about anywhere else, though I'm sure it has been conceptualized by some because it is really a simple idea. I also haven't seen this type of charting made available in any of the software packages. Since I have written my own charting...

I realize from the response this thread has gained so far, that nearly nobody is reading this thread. After all, who in their right mind posts pages of longwinded observations that don't get down to a concrete resolution? I admit that I didn't handle the key questions very well in the...

Lots of takers on this thread already showing up with hands outstretched. If his exit strategy is his edge, why would he give away his edge, though looks like he is using something other than his regular exit method though I could be wrong? Posting exits in realtime should be good enough for any...

The Dems are expert pols. They knew that with such a shallow Repub majority and some of the Repubs being sick, old or unable to respond to an immediate call for a vote that the Repubs wouldn't / couldn't risk doing it because they wouldn't have the numbers. Having feeble old guys in office is...

Nicely put alfonso. All the other stuff on this thread is really a sideshow. The real meat is whether exit techniques alone are enough to make a winning system or method. Then it becomes a question of the way the exit techniques work, or why the exit techniques work in particular with an entry...

Thanks, They I'll check it out!!!

A year or two after I started trading, I came up with an indicator that I referred to as "Move Range". This indicator essentially just kept track of the major intraday moves on a particular chart (swinghigh to swinglow etc.) It was a great step forward in my trading because it finally allowed me...

Nitro, Don't worry about it. I know I've said some things I wish I could take back. Anyway, good trading to you.

Nitro, I have to say that posting this kind of stuff just makes you look bad. I think I got out of the show off phase somewhere in junior high, but I guess some people never get past that phase. And the ironic thing is that you were originally going to challenge damir because of his...

You missed me? Wow I feel special.

Why would I want to do that? I don't trade anything like the method damir described, and if you read my previous posts, I believe that he could achieve much higher overall profitability by using a more selective entry and shooting for larger profits on each trade, rather than attempting to...

That's really a simplistic view. Using a non-directionally biased method of entry is no different than using any other type of entry. You still face the same challenges. In this case if you get multiple entry signals in the same direction that exceed your account's capital or your risk profile...

Good points alfonso. Individuals who are hung up on the term "random" should just substitute the term "non-directionally biased" on the entry, and see where that leads them.

The point I failed to make, and which is true of any system is that if this natural market tendency were minimized or absent for one reason or another, then damir's system would either have far less profitability or it might even fall apart. But I think that point is obvious. Assuming the market...

...until you are constrained either by your own account or by the maximum potential for that strategy that the market will support before returns start to go downhill. In general the shorter-term the strategy, the quicker returns go downhill by adding more trades or additional contracts...

What endorsement? You wanted a spoon fed explanation and so I gave it to you, end of story. Now the question goes to you: why do you feel that others are obliged to spoon feed you?

Ok last try. The ridiculous example proves the point - rationality must come in. But it is simply not possible to make more points than the market offers. That is the reality. As Horace said: you cannot give what you have not got. I'll rephrase to fit the situation: you can't earn...
