    Price Action @ Confluence Zones

    Do I identify areas of support and resistance, however, use a little twist. Instead of anticipating that they will hold, sit tight and wait. Look to see if they break, once they do, trade the back-test, fairly small risk and usually great fast reward. Watch the very first test, it likes to...

    is the market ever going to go down

    Directional preference should not be a concern. Trading the current trend for added probability is though. Up, down, sideways, should not be a concern for a trader.

    Price action - does it make any sense?

    Of course it makes sense but the kind that does, the true action that matters, I personally have not seen it posted in public. Some get close but they either choose not to post what follows or they just don't see it and never get there. Once you find about it combined with some statistical...

    2012: The Battle for Survival

    Neke, You making some obvious and terrible mistakes in your money management. I spend an incredible amount of time waiting for a good trigger setup. When it happens I expect it to go my way from the get go, otherwise what I had thought to be prime is rather dull today, this eliminates the...

    Short at new higher highs with a loose stop, cover during pullbacks. Buy weakness, particularly after a higher low has been established, distribute at new highs or get trail stopped and retry.

    ES Journal - 2012

    I believe a vast majority of shorts are trapped because every time the market gives a slight indication of downside, say, a daily red bar, due to it's exuberant extension all the hungry shorts run to short it, well today sort of nullified that as we completed an outside day reversal...

    is the market ever going to go down

    Try not to prefer a side but the unbiased one. Markets are constantly going through cycles. Pick the path of least resistance. At the present time dip buying is working beautifully, it won't last forever but until the path of least resistance is shorting I don't recommend it.

    Let Trade Run -- No Exit

    Intraday trends can be very noisy, therefore, if you use tight stops you will degrade performance. I'm a big believer of letting time work in your favor yet if you are daytrading you are limited to the close of the day. Have you tried a moving average cross or perhaps a certain number of...

    SPY is about to hit its 52 week high. What is going to happen?

    It certainly increases the odds. It's like a stranger stopping at the crossroad, you don't know where the person is going, but if you wait until the person chooses the path your chances of nailing the first destination will improve. Needless to say, there are times where a "change of...

    Trading with a Stop Loss in the Futures Market is for Losers

    Interesting to read all the personal choices. I suppose it's a matter of style.

    SPY is about to hit its 52 week high. What is going to happen?

    I have no idea. Think it's easier and less risky to let something happen first then follow the footsteps of the big money, no ?
