Short at 8:08 1252.00 Buy stop at 1253.25 Buy Limit at 1250.50 If it continues to drop, will move stop to BE and let it run....

That is interesting NoD... I think it was Geez who said he wanted a system you could teach an 8 year old! Seems like he said that an 8 yr old would likely trade it better than us older ones because, maybe we think to much? *laughing* maybe we are all just big elementary school kids... and...

Sam was right in posting a thank you to those who have contributed. Thank you... Good people are in the truest sense the real treasure! And you all make this a special place.

Thank you Sam thanks for your input, And all who are so giving here... ...Yes Sam, we are in a special place! Best of the season and new year to you all!

12.21 trades 2nd trade in hindsight might have thought to wait for a pull back to the MA... I was thinking 1247.50 was a better entry than the one I initially had.

Thanks. I'm sure there are people trading here with worse problems than mine. Life just chews you up sometimes! My yard man was here yesterday and he was talking about linda ronstat. He is 1/2 hispanic and he was proud that she was the same. BTW my brother's X-wife worked for the...

How is it going Jas? Read any more of Brooks?

4re, plaease don't brake your wind-ie repy! Actually, your experince with ES helps me understand where I'm at as a new trader starting with ES. Glad you added that final thought! Thx

Why did I start trading ES? I guess the final push was talking... in a class there were a few who had been trading for a few years... and while they were all trading the CL they concluded that 'the ES was all you really needed'. That was their advice and the teacher was nodding her head...

out at 1250.50, 1:34 Whew!

Working with that detailed post of NoDoji's I'd heard that material before, but it was much clearer this time. Thx. With my one contract I entered an at market open buy stop at 1247.75 and a sell stop at 1246. Sell stop triggered and then stopped out at the buy stop. But... it seemed to...

Thanks SteveH, and I'll look at CL. The first time I saw the 1.8:1 was on Geez's thread. So that has been in my thoughts. I appreciate Geez most at the moment, because of his walking away from his computer and cking it every 5 or 10 min. ...actually I sit in frount of mine OK for the first...

Dang it, Nodoji ! I usually print out a chart of the trading day, and it took me 15 - 20 min maybe to look for a few patterns, track the up/down work, and run thru the bar by bar 'what would you do'. NOW I look at a chart with several columns under it... several I didn't have before...

OK! I've seen this argument before... where to start, ES, CL, 6E, NQ I sure don't know the ans to that. I know with ES you need the ~$5600 in your acct for a contract. Do you need more or less to trade the others? Ammo - this is not an advanced class. We are supposed to learn the...

Not trading so far today, family in for the holidays. And I'm thinking I need to do a lot of work to get to NoD's POV, even as just understanding it. It's like I'm taking my toe and stirring the leaves laying around the roots of the 'trading tree of knowledge and profits'... while there is...

That makes sense... I'll give it a try! thanks ammo

Thank you Redneck.

Hi NoDoji, and thanks for stopping by. I've been becoming more and more aware of the above as you've said it in more than one thread. And watching the movement of the ES it makes obvious sense. At the same time, I've been looking at starting small, like get 1 pt a day, consistently, and then...

Thank you Matcha, delighted to see you here. Your work is very much an inspiration to me. I always laugh when you talk about crazy brain. I identify with you and have hope! I picked the 'twins' because it seemed so simple, a good place to begin. Backtested some months without looking...

up/down, down/up twins are on pgs 18 & 21 in Al Brooks book.
