    Very tight stp.daytrading the ES ??

    It has been my observation if my timing is good I take very little heat and the trade usually goes my way almost immediately. Hence,would I be foolish to use something like .50 or .75 as an initial stop?Or,will random noise chop me out too much? I don't have a problem(that big of one that...

    Again I thank everyone for their feedback,insight and suggestions. I do have a system/approach-when followed-that is consistently profitable. I think,upon reflection now,discipline and awareness of this behavior will aid me on the path. I probably also need to work on my concentration and...

    Why do I do what I know I shouldn't be

    Thx.. I have had success being a contrarian in stocks and options at times...maybe I need to learn to mentally separate the two approaches.(It is my e-mini trading where I "fight" the market.).

    Why do I do what I know I shouldn't be

    Like trying to pick a top/or short a strongly trending up market...instead of entering on a pullback to support/or Fib. retrac. which then kicks off another up leg? Is this self-sabotage? A rebellious,contrarian side? What is wrong with my perception/filters that would induce me to be...

    S+P Premium levels as timing tool?

    Intraday purposes. Has anyone found it beneficial to monitor the prem/discount levels as an aid to entry/exit timing? Or,is it too random w/too much noise to be of any good? Also, why is it I see the futures price always move before the index itself? Frontrunning before a large order or...

    Implied Vol in intraday trading.

    Does anyone use this-primarily at extremes-to fade,etc...in their futures trading? I am already using the VIX but an article stimulated me to think about the actual option IV expansion,shrinkage,etc..as a possible very short term timing tool for the e-minis. Does this make sense? Maybe use...

    S/R Emini Journal

    Yeah he must be pretty smart...getting over 300 subscribers to pay $300 a month produces a pretty nice cash flow I'd say. Did more talking than trading during my membership. 7k for a 4 day mentorship too. If hes so good at trading why is he running a chat room ?(other than the 90k monthly...

    Average down/up -intraday e-minis?

    I'm torn between these two.See the pros and cons of both. 1-establish 50% position(long)...complete on .50-.75 retracement(if happens). STP whole position say for 1.5 loss. OR- 2-enter half and then complete on mkt. confirmation(eg .50 move in desired direction). Still use 1.5 STP ; scale...

    TRIN losing utility in intraday trading?

    I feel as though its usefulness has declined some possibly due to emergence of so many alternative instruments-ETFs,funds,derivatives,etc... 1- I have seen the mkt.react contra many times to "theoretical" expected behavior at extreme TRIN readings. 2-watched mkt. move counter to the trend of...
