    Trading the E-mini: Results Comparison

    Yes, I agree. 5 to 10 points are doable. But even 2 points with size can be good. Just don't forget SIM fills are different than real live trading fills even though SIM is live data. On SIM you can capture 1 point with a 1 point move. Live trading usually will require 6 tick move for entry and exit.

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

    No wonder you having a hard time. Trying to quantify horse shit. If fresh it just slides thru your fingers. Very slippery stuff which apparently you have tried and failed??? You must let the sun bake it first. Much easier to quantify then. But since you are.... nomad...always on the move you...

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

    Unfortunately, there is no other way but hard work, dedication, and practice. Around 1500 pages in the trilogy depending if you are examining the hardbacks or digital versions. I have written in the first page of my hardback Brooks book on "Trends" (of the trilogy) "Nov 27, 2011." So you can get...

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

    Yes, it is a tad confusing. LOL Takes min 5 years pressing hard to begin to understand the concepts and how they fit together into a structure that becomes tradeable day in and day out ..algos..htf's..or no algo's and no htf's. It is all in the trilogy and videos and it is ALL very subjective to...

    Sim VS. Real Money trading

    That is what i am saying. On a sim orders get filled when it touches your order (whether that be one touch or three touches). But in real trading most of time it is going to have to trade THRU your order by a tick for your order to get filled. There are exceptions but most of the time it will...

    Sim VS. Real Money trading

    There are at least a couple of reasons. 1) on most sims i have played around with they are unrealistic in the sense that a trade will execute if price reaches an order you placed i.e. if the price in the market is touched. In real trading usually price is going to have to trade "thru" your...

    For the Mini's does volume matter?

    Understood. What really matters is what price does..whether it does it on low vol or high vol. price can move up on low vol because sellers are backing away and price has to move up to find sellers. When demand swamps supply price can move up on high vol. what is more important for eminis is vol...

    For the Mini's does volume matter?

    That tend to be a slower time of the day..vol on emni more important on exhaustion moves. This was a small pb trend one of the strongest type trends. Way to trade it is long on pb ...scaling in..limit order longs after 1 or 2 bear bars..keep adding..or exit and start over.
