A quick question about the light blue carryover channel you have. I thought about drawing it in using the same points from Wed you have, but the 16:00 bar from Wed appears to throw the gaussians off for the whole channel (ie Red vol is the greatest over the whole up channel). Would you mind...

If he loses, whats gonna obligate him to pay you anything? Seems like he can just walk away and stick you with the loss.

You're on it :D Just start at the beginning and there are some links to help out as well.

Maybe this will be helpful from my perspective as this helped me off the open. I had a up carryover channel traversing higher into the close of yesterday. The channel was formed using (10:20, 12:00 and pt 2 vol exp at 14:20 for Tues). The way I see it is, as long as prices are going higher...

Cash, you cant be serious that you get bored off your ass during the day. I know you are not a daytrader but you certainly could spend some time learning to read/gauge price action of your stocks or the futures. There is a TON to be made everyday, intraday. I suggest trying your hand at this...

Classic :D

See, this is where your thinking is wrong. You are trying to "beat" the market when in fact all you have to do is pay close attention to the signals the market gives out and play along in the direction of those signals. "Beating" the market implies you are head to head and one side must win. Of...

I sidelined as well, I could see the gaussians fine however could also see that we werent moving. Better to not get involved w/o the finer tools than to push it when its just not there.

This is a confusing thread already, are you a guru or do YOU need futures help? It sounds like you have a method that works for you, and you say here that you do well. But in your first post you ask people to share their methods/edges which doesnt make sense to me if you are already a guru.

You never mentioned if you are successful :)

I've been acting under the assumption that we can have an FTT if price touches the LTL however if any volitility expansion occurs then we cannot. I guess what I should start thinking is that a touch of the LTL on less volume than the previous low COULD be a signal for change however def is not a...

I agree with you 100% when peak volume fades like that at newer highs I also see this as a good sign that the mkt has run out of steam at this particular time. However, after we BO the upchannel at 15:00 (on my chart I have an upchannel ) on increasing vol we are definitely in a down channel...

Spyder, I saw the 15:20 ES bar as a potential FTT as it went slightly lower on less red vol and also just touches the LTL. Price then shot up nicely on the very next bar giving me confidence that the FTT probably legit. My question is, what specifically tells you that we arent going to make...

This reminds me of my favorite series 7 question I remember from 4 years ago. It was something a long the lines of this: Grandma Ethel is a very conservative person on a fixed income. As her registered Rep, what would be appropriate to advise her to invest in given her situation? A...

Sometimes 3k will suffice :D

After the 15:22 bar formed on the YM, the ES was 8825 by 8850 (I was short from 8950). This is when I should have reversed again (I believe). Instead I waited a little longer, possibly in disbelief, and made only .50 instead of the full point. Still a profit however I want to be able to see...

Yeah, I mean I thought for sure that the 15:10 bar would form a new pt 3 down channel but then price stalled from 15:20-15:30 and then obviously went to new highs. I think my short from 8950 was the right play for all we know the mkt could have really sold off from that point. Instead though we...

Hey Spydertrader I was short today at 8950 at 15:10 and felt very good about the trade, the 15:15 bar BO my RTL and everything seemed to be going great. Obviously, as we know, price shot up at the end of the day. I got out and still made a profit but feel that I should have noticed earlier...
