Some people here are as dense as a robot. :D

ET is like Ashley Madison. It seems like there are lots of women to talk to who want to have sex with you, but when you dig deep, you find out that you're either talking to a robot or a dude with multiple aliases. (and yes, here at ET, sometimes you swear you're talking to a robot, and we all...

I take it you're eliminating the overnight action of the ES on Nov 8 where it hit limit down of 2028.50?

Our of curiosity, what is it that you think the next level is? If its more transparency, you lose your multi-alias edge. :D

For your information, I don't think highly of B1S2, and I don't even think highly of Baron sometimes. I also don't think highly of you, or your old name Jimmie Barton. As you can see, I'm nobody's minion. And on top of all this, I think you may be one of Baron's minions because you post so...

@A2x2 This isn't my thread, but in my opinion, as I read your journal, I feel that it has lost its value from allowing big mac (aka. Jimmy Barton) to infest it. First of all, I highly doubt he is even trading with real money. I know you yourself are on SIM now, but you are treating as you...

I couldn't agree more. I don't know very much about options, and it initially seems incredible when you see 100% gains... but when you consider that a SPY call or put goes from $1 to $2, and hence 100% gain, this means $100. So then you think ok, just buy a few hundred (never mind the...

Many people here think that capitalism exists in a vacuum. I'm all for people having to make their own way and work hard, but the version of capitalism that we have today is perverted. Apple sells as many iphones as it does because the general public has many basic needs covered that allows...

Well then, this a whole different thing entirely. Buying low and selling high will more than likely always work. :) And cutting losers quickly and letting profits run will probably be a money management strategy that will also stand the test of time.

I actually tend to agree with qxr1101. When it comes to trading, there is hardly any specific information out there. Compare this to any other discipline. In medicine, surgeons don't go around keeping key aspects of open heart surgery secret. Engineers don't hide their careful calculations...

You're kidding.. right? You expect that whatever you design will work 10 years plus? I think if you found a strategy that you could milk for even 2 years you would be golden.

Glad you found it helpful. I watch both markets, and cross reference quite a bit. I almost need to see what is happening in one before I take a trade in the other. (ie. a short might setup in ES, but NQ is just above the LOD... so no way should you short because a bounce will happen, even if...

I actually don't agree with this. To keep the same dollar value, you now need to buy twice as many contracts, which means you're spending twice the commissions, and I doubt they dropped the commission price per contract. The algo guys of course pay next to nothing so it doesn't matter to them...

Its funny you say this actually because once again, I see it completely opposite. I used to trade the NQ but then realized that the all the spikes were playing on my nerves. When I got into doing some stats analysis, given that there were so many levels, it seemed to make it more difficult. 10...

Ohhh.. nice! I do wonder how trading works on this level. First I wonder about fills because although clearly ES can easily handle this volume, it is sometimes difficult to get filled even on just 1 contract when you're at the back of the line and need price to touch this level multiple times...

I actually don't see it this way to be honest. He is swing trading, and using stops that are easily 10's of points, so a big account is I think necessary. If he is going to use a 40 point stop lets say, this would be $2000, so this would represent 1% of his account. This is of course very...

Its interesting what you say because my gut feeling is the exact opposite. I didn't know exactly what you were trading before, so the rationale would be different depending on the instrument, but for futures, since I know this is what you trade now, I think what I said above sticks. Points per...

Out of curiosity, what does this 16.2% represent? I ask because when trading futures, its kind of an unnatural way to summarize performance. If you have a 5k account or 10k account, a percentage would be different, but the number of points you make per day would be the same. So I'm just...

@Handle123 I read the Dome and 3 ticks on soft mental stop, I look at the volume on price levels on the Dome, so in ES, first 20 minutes of newest method am now manually trading/testing, risk 3 ticks and looking to target 8 ticks, but Scalping it is never in stone to get 8 ticks as I have to...

Never mind this jimmie guy, but in all honestly, speaking from experience, perspective is what you don't need. If you want to go short, you don't need to hear that someone went long. If you are wrong, you will find out via your own trade, not because someone else made the better guess. You...
