Yeah, you are right. True is these trades rarely do work. Been doing alot of thinking over the weekend while going over charts. Will hopefully do better this week with things a little more organized in my head.

Thanks babykuttan! Indeed they use market profile in their own way and are also following a guy called futurestrader71 who also uses MP. Looks like they are also in the learning and testing process. There are a quite a few guys now on the net claiming to using MP but not sure how many are...

As I mentioned I went to sim. Took only one trade since. Took a shot at the potential double top. Didn't work. Trades so far: 1/18: W:2 L:1 E:0 Won: +9 Lost: -2 Profit for day (in pts): +7 1/19: W:4 L:0 E:1 Won: +6 Lost: 0 Profit for day (in pts): +6 1/20: W:2 L:6 E:0 Won: +3 Lost: -28...

Conclusion: I currently suck. Yty's bad results are due to forcing trades and lack of strict trading framework. My trading has been too lax and not enough strict rules/controls are in place. Having spent a long time on systems and technicals, I have come to the conclusion that I like...

Yeah I know. Some people have a funky way of trading the a-d with the tick but I just never got into it. At the end of the day we all need to find our own road to success. tough.

I used to watch the a-d alot. Just because it was negative is not a reason to not take the excellent reads you had. Go back and take another look at the a-d. I bet the change in a-d was significant. When a-d is negative and then changes considerably then its a bullish sign so don't take the...

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you my big screw up day :( Yty I was annoyed that I had some great oppties that I missed. Today I was determined not to miss them. Unfortunately, I continued to miss great oppties as the market moved I could enter with my limit orders. Especially in...

:( Just wiped out my previous days gains. Tried to get short at 1st yellow arrow. My price didn't get hit and market dropped. Then tried to get long at 2nd yellow arrow. Price didn't get hit and market went up. Finally I got in and lost a sh*tload. Decided to add to my short...

FESX Market Profile for last few days ""

Thanks for the instructions on posting. Will try it out! Nice job on the trading and sticking to the shorts. I would have been very frustrated after the first 2 shorts came out as losses. Personally, I should have done much better on my STOXX trades. Didn't have enough patience to ride...

Took another 2 trades, but can't say I'm happy about them. A little bit of a revenge type. I kept trying to jump in to participate in the trend but the market didn't let me and now I am trying to squeeze some of the profit I believe is owed to me. So I'm shutting myself down for the day. I...

Nice discipline! Hey Matcha, stupid question: how do you get the attachments to show up in the posts? I switch to FESX from YM and started a journal. I've been attaching my trades but they don't show up. You need to click on the file in the post to see it. Thanks and good luck today!

Stupid Question: How do I get my attachments to show up in the post? I see that in some journals you can see the chart without having to click on the file. How can I get my posts to look like that? Please someone? anyone? Thanks in advance.

Market opened higher today and proceeded to drop down into yty's balance area. See market profile using TS Price Distribution. Note: I drew the 2948 and 2935 lines yty! FESX has dropped into that area and has been rotating in it. Magic :) Won't look for any more trades today unless I have a...

Like I said in my previous post, I was going to try and short. I shorted a little early afterall at 2942 and got some serious heat as the market moved against me to 2946. Fortunately this was on little volume. The next few bars had even less volume and ideally I should have shorted at 2944 or...

Had 2 trades so far today. In the first I looked for a bounce off of yty's activity (MP balance area). I went long at 2944 (1 pt above the low of day). I then got a little scared and thought the push down with the first high volume of the day was bearish (this bar is always above average...

I'm amazed at the difference in commissions & fees! When I traded the YM I paid total $4.72 round-trip. For FESX it's $2.4 !!! That is huge! Well today I looked to short 20 min into the open at 2955 but I got greedy with the price and missed an excellent entry by a point. I hope today...

Something really really weird just happened on my TS. There must be some bug in the new version (9.0) they released. Will explain in a bit. As you saw before my short didn't work. There was no way I was going long as an upthrust formed on the 30min chart at 12:30 and I wasn't going to...

FESX continues to rise. It looked like it would stop. The candle shown by the yellow arrow looked like sellers were coming in. In addition this was around levels not seen since April last year. It looked like a decent shot. I shorted 2938 but got out at 2940. Perhaps I should have been...

I did my first trade on the FESX March 11 contract. As this was my first FESX trade I really should have simmed it but I was excited and decided to put on a real trade. I initially wanted to get in long at 2916 but it got away from me :( I saw the DAX break to a new high while the FESX...
