    Market loss is 3x faster than market gain

    Update- I just calculated an average for time in trade from my trading journal. This was for wins, loss, and break even. Average long 45 minutes. Average short 22 minutes. I was shocked that it was this much different. I also calculated average result per trade. Remember I only trade ES...

    YUKK!!! what a crappy day for ES

    That's a really good point. I honestly hadn't thought about the rollover situation to the September contract. In the end it's just One day. There are plenty of good days.

    Trading Bitcoin With Leverage.

    My God you would think I said I was gonna kill the President of the United States. Although some people may like that. My best guess for what will go wrong with bit coin is government intervention. Already United States government has said that it is a way for money laundering and...

    Trading Bitcoin With Leverage.

    I don't hate the bitcoin or the owners. Oh by the way who the hell are the owners or the people running the computer any? Good luck finding that one out. I think what has got me on this one is the over excitement about this investment. When in my opinion it is a very very low-quality high...

    Crazy valuations... Crazy stock performance

    Ok here's something interesting. The major indexes are showing PE ratios from 20-82. SP is 24. http://www.wsj.com/mdc/public/page/2_3021-peyield.html Berkshire Hathaway, run by the smartest investor alive, Warren Buffet is sitting at a PE of 17. I venture to say that is a portfolio of...

    Once the no name exchange goes under and trading is halted on this and you won't have to worry too much about where to spend your worthless bit coins

    Trading kept simple

    I thought it would be fun and interesting to see what people are using to trade. I hope that I win the contest for the simplest, most non-advanced chart of anyone. I have taken away so many indicators over time. I learned it was just confusing me. below is an example of my one chart I use...

    YUKK!!! what a crappy day for ES

    I think we are getting way off topic... but I'll talk about anything related to the markets. Cause I love it. I am from the keep it simple group. I share a sample of my trade setup chart. I hope it is the simplest you have ever seen and that someone makes fun of me for how basic it is. I...

    YUKK!!! what a crappy day for ES

    comagnum... while you say that is easy to understand, I think it would short circuit my brain. I try to keep it simple. I trade from one chart, and could do it with only one computer monitor, I have a second for convenience, email, etc... a simple chart for price action with a volume piece...

    YUKK!!! what a crappy day for ES

    yup,,, I saw... I am just learning ATR, but I did have it up... so what is the number for ATR to be a go vs. no go ??? say 1.0 ??? or above appreciate your input. I am reluctant to add another piece of criteria for my trades, but if it helps then great. Maybe ATR is more important than...

    YUKK!!! what a crappy day for ES

    Punisher,,, Well, yeah that would have worked... but you had to sit and watch it go to 2420.0 at the low... that's 8 points off your first entry. You would have to run a 10 point stop. That's $500 loss per trade, I think that is just too much, at least it is for me. I used to run super...

    Trading Bitcoin With Leverage.

    yes, I corrected myself in another post. I guess technically it would be classified as an "alternative investment".. and yes, thankyou, the regulated markets offer all kinds of protection, order execution, safe keeping of your assets, checks and balances, etc... I guess people just want to...

    YUKK!!! what a crappy day for ES

    Punisher.... my criteria would have put me short at 8:36AM CST at 2427.5 and easily hit my 3 point target...BUT I do not trade the first 20-30 minutes. Many experienced traders advise that. by the way... how the heck is ES still trading and has moved 2434.50...trading should be done...
