Can someone please tell me the value that they find in day trading the equity indices past 11 est? I'm having a hard time finding anything to do past 11 est, and I'm curious as to whether or not others find the same thing. Thanks.

your lady calls me "tripod" :D :D :D :D :D :D :p :p :p :p

Housing's gonna take an enormus beating......The Chicago Condo market is already begining to look somber.......perfect timing on the part of the CME to get these products up and trading. The word around the CME is that there's huge interest in these things, and that they should find good...

Funny, it's been really somber around the CME the past week or so as well....... Rumor has it that there are a number of short vega hedge funds that have had their asses handed to them as of late......

Get yourself a pimp name, and it's all uphill from there, Fadertrader....... www.playerappreciate.com

I pimped mad amounts of ladies for 5 years........it's easy cash, with the exception of the fact that occasionally I had to raise my pimp cane......and make suckas pay......It funded the account

I live in Chicago, and I'm sitting idly on the sidelines anticipating a massive crash in the condo market here......... There are For Sale signs all over this city.....and nothing is moving....

Thanks Nutsojob....... I'm glad someone appreicated it.:D :D :D

If trading doesn't work out, you'll find me driving around in a van solving mysteries. If I suck at solving mysteries, I'll enlist the help of the Harlem Globetrotters. Their basketball skills are outdone only by their penchants for explaining paranormal activities. :D

Biggest mistake I made was using stops that were tighter than a nun. Sometimes being too conservative is just as deadly as being too loose.......:cool:

I trade ES. Average 3 trades per day. I used to espouse the idea that the trend was my friend, and averaged many more trades per day. Now, however, I've become a trend fader, and have seen my success improve dramatically, and the frequency of my trading decrease considerably.

Niha- Thanks for the explanation. I now understand your approach towards exits. You're contributions to these threads have improved my trading by leaps and bounds. On another note, I'd like to ask if you make any sort of distinction between intra-day hammers that present themselves...

Hi Niha- I was hoping that you might be so kind as to answer a question that I have regarding the exit strategy that you have shared throughout this thread and the original "Hammers" thread. While your trading plan calls for entries that are, "price action based," your exits are not...

The best never rest.

In my case, entry and exit are the same thing. Therefore, neither is more important than the other. I'm a daytrader who always maintains a presence in the market. My concern is not the entry or exit level, rather, the reversal areas.......

Where are all the technicians in Chicago? Why can't I find anyone in this city, the derivatives capital of the world, who solely employs technical analysis to make their trading decisions? I've been all over this city, have spoken to some of the most legendary traders, sat in some of the...

John Murphy's book is a great resource. If you're into candlesticks, I think Steve Nison's is also a great resource. Best of luck

I trade ES and use the following simple plan to protect my capital: For every ES point I book, I allow myself to give back roughly 1/3 of it before I call it a day. This plan is only applicable AFTER I've booked a profit and am TOTALLY out of a position. It does not apply to positions...

1. Wake up at 7 am cst. 2. Eat a bowl of cereal or some fruit, and have a glass of orange juice. 3. Shower. 4. Throw on some jeans and a button up shirt. I've found that if I wear anything more casual, my attitude and attention span tend to mirror the casualness of my attire. 4...

Quietrader- I'm really enjoying your thread thus far. A wonderfully subtle demonstration of the "Know Yourself" theorm. A clear promulgation of the idea that one must know his psychological and social makeup before one can begin to find the most appropriate role for him in the market...
