LOL. I didn't mention anything on FED, right? I applaud B1S2. The situation is the SHORTS doomsday view got smashed by the job increase prospect and the LONG figure that if May already got 2.5 millions job added, June and July are going to be better. So people who feel left out would rush to...

3200. The push is real strong, no sign of weakening. Shorts should listen to B1S2 earlier, like a couple months ago.

If he traded 100 lot then 1 point per day would net him more than 1 million a year, and risk is low as he can really focus on, and only trade the best/optimal set up based on his long trading career presumably. In some lucky day then the ES rush 5 points with seconds after he entered, he then...

It is said the market is always 4 months ahead of the economy. If people think the prospect of economic situation is better 4-6 months from now, they put in money in the market. Investment, in essence, is always about and for the future. right?

Unless it is a 100% win rate, right? Serious, though, in a scenario like the following, win rate is valid and accurate to determine profitability: say, you trade option, every single trade you put in a fixed amount of money, say $1000, you either let it double or go to zero; if you have a 60%...

100 million contracts a year that is about 400K per day and it is about 25% of the entire daily ES volume. I wonder if Goldman Sachs would take up that kind of volume. Let say, he made one point ES average for those 100 million contract (some gain more than that and some lost but average P/L is...

ES gains almost 900 points or 40% from its low in March within just a little more two months. If you bought 20 lots at that time and kept it, you gain almost one millions. It is truly surprising that the market has such strong strength, probably people figure that the market is going to bounced...

Spy recovers/bounces about 35% higher since the low on 3/23. By the standard of 20% BULL/BEAR market criteria, do people agree that we are in a bull market now? Even if you calculate from the all time high, SPY is now only lower than less than 13% from ATH, so it shouldn't be a bear market...

The market is flat, probably those institutional traders are on their way to the long weekend fun already.

Impossible. NQ and dbphoenix write differently and their mentality and personality are different if you really read most of their posts and analyses them. Dbphoenix is very knowledgeable but he mostly made after fact analyses, while NQ made many fabulous calls in advance and the numbers were...

The ignore/block feature is a great tool that helps make browsing ET fun. I have a long list of them and most of them are toxic people that are either moronic or foulmouthed, and making them go away is a good way to avoid wasting time and energy. Occasionally I would log out to see what is...

So you are making about 10-12 points per contract, for a total of 60-80 lots? Great job!

Sane traders should be able to keep their bias in check, and focus on capitalizing the opportunity that market offers, up or down, not like a one-trick pony. It is always easier and more profitable to GO with the trend than go against the trend. If you don't have a solid and reliable charting...

Of course that is one theory and may not be true.

I think you will beat him easily and handsomely in trading ES, but Jim has a different talent running a show.

2785 to 2885, 100 points in two days! If you started a trading signals service, you can make other people lots of money. LOL. Of course I am just joking, talents like you would not even bother to waste their time to peddle for peanut money.

Excellent! For almost every truly successful trader, he/she mostly always has obtained/acquired/distilled something out of ordinary wisdom and reach the realm beyond the common platitude that if you are smart and work hard and follow the plan you can succeed, for trading is such an unusual...

You got some magic power in calling these numbers/levels so accurate IN ADVANCE! That is a true talent.

Every trader has his own journey and some became successful after a few months, some after a few years and some takes longer. Now the OP realizes his problems but he figures that he has a good skill in recognizing the trading signals as he showed last Friday he caught a stream of profitable...

To OP: As you would be aware there are lot of losers at ET, and it is the reality as trading is a hard business and only a few can really excel. There are decent losers who will try to learn more and be successful eventually, however there are some toxic losers who turn their failure into...
