    Anything better than Stochastics???

    I too disagree. The stochastics can be used as a trend indicator and that is exactly when it stays above 80 for a longer period of time. Plus, a good reliable reversal in a strong trend is signalled by a stochastics divergence rather than some sort of stochastics crossing. Stochastics crossings...

    meditation as a way to calm trading angsts

    I am beginning to wonder if too much meditation does not cause brainwashing. Do you really believe in everytyhing you read including levitation, just because it has something to do with things as esoteric to most people as TM? Where is any evidence to support it? I think that meditation is a...

    SP E-mini trading diary

    Another great 20 point day, LongShit? Sounds like that. How about trying some meditation instead of snapping at your fellow trader just because he is doing better than you? You cannot afford a good shrink or what? Even making 20 pts a day?

    Trading times for Monday trough Friday

    More or less so, of course that depends on whether you have a trading setup or not, but usually one per hour does happen.

    Trading times for Monday trough Friday

    I am sort of inclined to believe in that, except that for symmetry reasons some times may be better than others. For instance 12:45 is the the middle of the session and at that time it is usually easy to figure out whether the marekt is more likely to keep its current momentum or whether it is...

    Trading times for Monday trough Friday

    Have you looked into the statistics for your times? It looks that they are pretty much what I use even if probably for different reasons. My times are 10:30, 11:30, 12:45, 14:15. These are times that often appear among those prdeicted by you. 12:45 and 11:30 are my most favorite times.

    futures trading courses

    I must say that I like your discipline of not trading beyond 60 ES points per month. Now, my question is: do you really stick to it or are you just a greedy bastard in disguise just as the most of us, I would guess, are.

    futures trading courses

    Such as Ed Moore's stuff. I definitely advise against dealing with him anyway and his stuff is the most overpriced piece of crap you can possibly get. Not to mention that it comes with no money back guarantee.

    man is this cheap

    What noise? There is no noise that I can hear running the puter with a 2.0 GHz Celeron.

    Trading times for Friday

    Not bad again, I went short at 15:04, close enough, but 14:30 was even better for a short today. That's one of my favorite times of all time, but has nothing to do with any type of particular analysis, just a matter of observation. The reversals that happen in the afternoon often happen during...

    Trading times for Friday

    For instance today there was a good setup around 13:25. I switched from a short to a long around 13:35, but actually forgot about it. I thought I simply exited my short position. Some time later, when I wanted to put on a short I noticed that my long was 3 ES points in the money. For this...

    Mentorship

    I disagree, but that's what most of mentors who sell their services want you to believe. You can become a good trader by simply working on it on your own. Some of the 'mentors' are only after your money. Of course, I am not saying this is you and your service, but I did have a bad experience...

    What types of orders do you use for ES?

    but stops are preferred for clearly defined setups and when you have enough time to place the stop order. Otherwise market orders.

    Funny

    I thought I exited my short position at some point today. Actually, I reversed it to the long... I tend to do this quite often. Some time later, I wanted to put on a short and when checking my TWS I noticed that my PL had increased by $300 (3 ES points for 2 contracts). Must be that beer...

    I don't follow them, but sometimes I check later on how they worked out and must say that they do pretty well.

    success rate trading S&p's

    A very long streak indeed, it certainly has a nice smooth equity curve, but I am not sure it makes great profits. Very often these things are mutually exclusive.

    success rate trading S&p's

    No, I do have losing days. That's part of the system game. You play the system and take what you get or you try to make money every day. These are two different things. It is simpler for me to play the system game, it just lets me focus better and take emotions out of the game as much as...

    Trading times for Wednesday

    Good call, Walther. I got in too, but only because my method suggested so. Not that I knew that ahead of time. I use what I call the convergence of timeframes to get bigger very often 6-10 ES pt moves like the one this morning.
