    Time-based stops

    I suppose i am different than many other traders. At times I will adjust my stoploss and or my profit target AFTER entry as market action unfolds. I WOULD ADJUST MY ENTRY SOMETIMES BUT CANNOT...ROLMAO. So, yes if market is taking too long to move in my direction i will declare "mutiny" in the...

    Ready or not, I went live 7/27

    You are prob right. If he was counting profits we prob would have been the first to hear about it, right after his wife. I hope he is not living in a tent in the back yard subsisting on cherrios.

    What are some useful things learned from Al Brooks price-action books?

    The framework is in 4 books by Mr Brooks. And a set videos if you like visual. It is all there. ALL THERE. ALL THERE. @Just trading...IT IS ALL THERE FOR ANY TIME FRAME YOU WISH TO TRADE. Did I say it was ALL THERE? Granted it will take a few years first, to just begin to understand it. Then a...

    Rough day

    I only had time for two trades today early in the session in ES. Visitors came by. Both trades were winners. Net 175.00 per contract before comm. deducted. But i saw later on it was a good day for trading. At least i perceived it that way with the methodology for trading that I use. Much more...

    What are some useful things learned from Al Brooks price-action books?

    Who can be sure "numbers" will extrapolate better than "patterns?". I will answer the question. NO ONE. Just because numbers are an exact science doesn't mean diddly squat. Why? The market is inexact..uncertain..based upon fickle human nature and emotions such as greed..fear..cannot be hemmed in...

    The better way. The Brooks Way. Three things. 1) You gotta be hungry. To gain strenght and grow those wings for flight. If you ain't hungry you won't study Brooks. (Study, not just skim or read (like most instant grits or instant oatmeal people want). Open that mouth WIDE. Picture will explain...

    Rough day

    Some of that probally has to do with your philosophy of the markets. I don't believe in noise. I personally think noise is a myth. All movements happen for a reason. Even 1 tick movements. You have to judge the context. I see no problem taking 20 even 30 ES TRADES in a day. Where there is...

    Now if it is a tight range in grinding up tight bull channel that is a very strong trend even if just crawling up. You buy pb with limit orders on bear bars that pb towards the 20 ema. That is not a tight sideways range but a tight channel. There is a bit of difference. You can hold such a...

    What are some useful things learned from Al Brooks price-action books?

    Thats right. All I look at is the chart. No news. No tv. No pundits. The chart will clearly show the reaction to the news. THERE IS A BULLISH REACTION AND A BEARISH REACTION to the news. One side will win. The chart will show which side. Yes, even in the tighest trading range you can scalp...

    Rough day

    I made 7 trades in the ES today. 5 winners. 2 losers. Net before comm $250.00 per contract. I could not trade all day today. Yesterday was my rough day. Trying to do too many things and trade at the same time yesterday. PA trading, at least for me, requires intense focus as I am getting quite...

    Brooks works are full of golden nuggets. But you have to dig them out. Most will quit before getting there. It is complex. You have to dig thru it all.

    Trading the E-mini: Results Comparison

    The kitty cat is for some reason obsessed with this theme. It has been years since i talked to an IB or FCM about a trade of mine. All is done online now. So I could care less. Kitty seems worried about talking to Fcm and not using floor lingo....."Handle" is floor lingo used in the pits which...
