I am afraid to look, LOL! But your idea is a good one. I believe it will help me focus on higher-probability entries. I will see how I can best do this on Multicharts. If not, then maybe it is time to pull out Sierra Charts which I have free through AMP.

Today was AWESOME. And I broke my daily record for this account. Got some longs, got some shorts. Kept everything on a short leash. Below is my favorite trade of the day. I have been working harder on "expansion trades" --where, instead of mean reversion, the market takes off (up or down)...

Accountability. One of the reasons I like doing this journal is because I consider all of you "accountability partners." Thanks! I take a lot of trades and don't desire to post all of them, but I commit to continue to post my 5-day AMP history, as I have done. So if you don't see it each...

AAPL earnings at/after the close. I should have been long ALL DAY. The FANG stocks are all very strong today. AMP futures doesn't have stock data, but Investing.com lets me use this live data for free.

Wow, what a run up today. I had some longs from the lows and I am currently trying some shorts from the highs. I like to take the strongest long and the weakest short. It seems like anytime I do something else I get bit. I am getting close to the $500 profit mark. Things are getting...

And I added a 3% line to my chart, just for fun. The 2% goal is the real goal:

Overall did well today at $63. Mostly longs off the bottom as mentioned.

I can see the logic in your lack-o-news consumption. I have talked with traders on the phone who have CSPAN or something else playing audibly in the background, and I just don't get it. I need it silent to see my setups. And I can see that the lack of even written news is simply another kind...

What a ride. The market is down about 2% (or more) today. I waited until it looked like we hit bottom and then started to nibble with some long scalps. I will know the true outcome only after I get my statement tonight. The market rolled over yet again mid-day, but I missed the down-action...

Perhaps. But I will try anyway.

On my old journal @easymon1 posted a great BeeGees mashup of Stayin' Alive. Staying alive is our MAIN TASK boys and girls. Tough to do sometimes. Hope you all do okay and even excel during this crazy virus, earnings, impeachment and NFP week.

Hi. Please join me (and my visitors) at my new journal. I started again with a $2000 live account using micros. https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/2-000-to-200-000-in-2020-at-2-00-per-day.339591/

Oh and I forgot to add the following to the list above "Break of Two" for reversals Big Candle Theory The futures/FX correlations FX vs Futures

@volpri The first chapter of your book is done! Very nicely said. I like the part about seeing the trades in the context of the larger timeframe. Also, when wrong, immediately reversing the position and going with the trend. So hard to do...

To the previous poster who asked about my basic trading style and the basic info I am sharing. @Deez: I am just getting started! I mentioned I will share the basics, yes. I feel this is SO vital. But I will soon talk about the following, and share related graphics: NYSE Tick (my second...

I love to watch Peter Reznicek's free weekly videos. Here is today's: Take-aways: Friday was the biggest down day in a long time, most likely caused by the virus scare. However, Peter loves to use the 20 day sma and the 50 sma, and we are still above them, as well as the uptrend line...

They have the same name as the OP!!! So clearly he has a natural affinity. Or maybe he is the founder himself? Haha.

Again, my only purpose in mentioning all the other websites is that EVERYWHERE I go I see traders not following sound principles but always looking for the holy grail: that secret that will get them $1M in the next 6 months. But you heard it here first. There actually IS a holy grail! The...

Futures.io is another trader forum. But out of respect for ET and Baron the owner, we won't elaborate.

I just got the AMP report for the day: 17 micro contracts total traded today. $13 in commission. $58 net profit. This gives an average net trade of $3.40 (If E-mini this would be $34 per trade and $580 total for the day.) The new balance is $2,280. I am still on track. Lets see what...
