    How much do you need to realistically make it?

    77, Bit, et al, I see where y'all have spent some time trying to figure out exactly how I trade. Why is that? Why not spend your precious, finite time studying & tweaking the methods = tactics you currently trade with? All of us can always improve our results thru constant study of the...

    <i>"No, you don't have his legacy right, obviously. Bad traders don't make millions, over and over again."</i> Bad traders lose millions, over and over again. I can think of two accquaintances who both made more than $1mil and lost more than that TWICE in 1999 - 2001. Neither of them trade...

    How much do you need to realistically make it?

    Dear <b>Traveler</b>, I never have and never would sell or offer any type of "system". A trading system is defined by entry, management and exit rules. When a method is assigned those rules of execution, it becomes a system. Any system offered to the public can be overwhelmed by lack of...

    Shorted four-lot 6E last night at 2828, trailed out at 2788 for +40pips due to insomnia at 4:00am est. Should have taken Nyquil, trade went more than 100+ pips by 8:00am if left alone. Made $2k when it could have been $5k Short 10-lot ER this afternoon at 718.00 and trailed to 717.00 when it...

    More mistakes than anything: This early morning in the wee hours I closed out an overnight 6E short trade for +40pips, woke up at 4:00am est and couldn't go back to sleep so I fiddled with the trade and booked solid profits. <b>Note to self:</b> stay in bed. You need more sleep. By 7:00am...

    <i>The trend is your friend 'til the end</i>... and the end of a trend is often well beyond solvency of emini fade traders. If they keep selling off tomorrow, please resist the urge to buy and keep selling into any decline. ES 1308 on the Sep contract is a critical level; roughly 1319 in...

    ES 1308 is critical support today... gotta hold above this if the upside has strong potential. Beige Book out at 2:00pm EST. If the indexes hang around below the daily pivot and act heavy, any selling pressure past 2:00pm could cave 'em in hard to the close. From now until then, ES 1313 has...

    All Positive... All The Time Our profession is mentally & emotionally taxing. Many times that manifests itself when traders blow off steam toward one another. Things then degrade rapidly from there. In my opinion, no one can be successful as a trader without maintaining a positive aspect...

    No question, 4re is making the +2pt ES objective work. I also agree with him that a +1.25pt daily target could theoretically make any trader methodically successful. But... there is a catch, and that is the demise of most aspiring emini traders before they ever make it in this game...
