    How does a edge disappear?

    One of the greatest. RIP good friend. That book obliterated my delusion of 1000% per year returns, betting it all, EVERY TRADE!

    Yikes. I forget how good we have it in the USA. Is cash still banned in India? In any case, hope and dreams keep you vertical, so don't give up! You can always try what I said at the beginning....

    ET Trading Survey.

    This thread is a valuable lezzon for new traders looking for The Secret. 1. If you give the reward before getting the payment, you get nothing! 2. Once you appeal to man's animal nature, the higher order angelic wisdom goes out the window.....

    Trading the ES live-the Brooks way

    Yeah you will need about 2-3x the average daily range for swing trading, and for day trading 5min bars it would be based on the biggest spike that you would expect, plus 50% or so. Getting shaken out with tiny stops is a guaranteed way to bleed out your account. Have you considered funding a...

    Trading the ES live-the Brooks way

    Another one that you might check into is momentum loss at the end of a trend. It can be seen as "the chop before the drop", as price action gets rougher when elite traders start booking profits. Then everyone starts booking profits and volume goes up while price gets nowhere. Not gonna lie...

    Semi Conductor stocks are weakening- not good!

    Epic timing. If you are not seeing the piles and piles of Benjamins that are possible with this guy, flip your monitor upside down! :D

    Are Elliot waves too subjective to be objective?

    I've tried using it and found that it is not determinate, in most cases. There are at least two competing wave counts at all times. Waves can extend and extend with subdivisions of internal waves, and the only real way to find a pivot is the old fashioned system of lower highs and lows, HSR...

    Trading the ES live-the Brooks way

    This is a fascinating thread, and I'll admit it pulled me in. The OP is goading us into giving up our secrets. That's why I'm here reading this, to see what kind of genius lessons can be learned.

    How to find an edge ?

    Great objective summary of a profitable system. Other factors (less important) are frequency of available trades and the surprise factor (overnight gap risk) and the "tail event" survivability. I go long tails whenever possible. :D

    How to find an edge ?

    It should be "obvious" by now that if you really want an edge, look at all the accounts of everyone who is losing and take the other side of their trade. This was once called "running a bucket shop", and there may still be brokerages that do this. How else are they gonna pay the electric bill...

    Really need advise on my trading system

    You can't get your money back if you already lost the majority of your net worth. The secret to attracting money is not needing it (similar to how you should conduct yourself around m'ladiez). So get a nice career and an education if that will help, and don't let your dollarz leak out again...

    Two for two, if you just reverse your buy and sell buttons! Come on do it, you know it works and now we all see it. You're sitting on The Answer, and it's between your ears, if you only do the opposite. :)

    Tire inflator keep blowing out the cigarette lighter fuse. Why???

    If it's like some of the slime or harbor freight ones I've taken apart, the motor has brushes that wipe an armature and if this area gets dusty or dirty, the resistance goes up. Also if the brushes just wear out it will short the whole thing out. Does it get hotter than before?

    Old school oscillators on the daily show we're already in the stratosphere! Hope those engines run well at high altitude, because the upper bollinger band is about to get bent.....

    Trading the ES live-the Brooks way

    Sweet journal bro, and I made it to page 20 and had to share with you an epiphany I had. It seems you are looking at just one timeframe. Something that helped me was to look at two or three. Many times the same patterns appear on different time frames. However, they behave differently...
