    Matcha's Dow E-mini Journal

    Matcha, I know it's harder for you to make your choices in the heat of battle, than it is for us to make suggestions when the trading day is finished. Entering the market in that sweet spot between confirmed direction and our stop at the precise moment in time takes skill and knowledge. You...

    Matcha, Another nice job, well done. You sure picked the meat out of that spaghetti ! ! It's nice to see you grabbing those profits, we can only take what the move offers.... No hoping, no wishing and no praying (for more).

    Honestly,,,,, I'd rather have the skin removed from my inner thighs with a rusty cheese grater, than ride a 3 or 4 hour trend. :eek: I'm too impatient. You did well, you stayed on the right side of the day and you took your profits when they appeared, good job. Many traders use MAs to...

    Matcha Well this sure explains the quirks I've noticed with your MA Lines at the open. Once you have the bars necessary to calculate the average your lines get "back on track". Now, if we can only straighten out that 50 pt "wiggle" in your VWAP. I do both, I begin 1 set of charts at the...

    Matcha For a 20 bar ema to generate a true reading at the opening bell we need the 20 bars prior to the 930 bar... I noticed this on your 9-24-10 chart (seemed way out of whack). I always want to scroll your charts to the left and see what's back there!! Here's a chart of today (9-30) for a...

    Matcha Nice to see you catching a couple nice within the range trends, good job :) Your 9-29 chart reveals what I call a Search & Destroy Day. I identify these days by large bars in both direction at the open to, "secure the perimeter". The secured range usually ain't nothing special...

    Working on Consistent Profitability

    tlow A while ago I posted this on Matcha's thread. Last week I began my start up routine and as I was writing down a few notes I got a buy signal, the time of day was a bit questionable but prices pulled back and I took the long. Within a few minutes prices were approaching my initial...

    I have a few books from the early 90's with passages doubting if this Globex thing will catch on, if they ever do get it off the ground! The new generation of trading is computer driven and that means fast, real fast and precise. Your order execution has to be just as precise. Recently I saw...

    ND, Sorry for chopping up your post, as always it was full of meat and light on gravy (I love gravy :) ). Matcha, I agree, I think you had a respectable week. I believe you possess a rare quality to aspiring traders, a healthy disciplined approach. I must have been near the end of the...

    Po, But wait! there's more! I don't want to bang an old drum, but. I like Boli's list but there is another I like to keep me in the trade (trend). The Ergodic Oscillator, it is much more forgiving in the over B/S regions. I'm old school, and cut my teeth on Blau and Lane. I also hate long...

    Matcha Can you find any other similarities? Yes! The range, your good at this stuff all of us here @ ET agree on that! Remember that line in the Jesse Livermore book where he says, in effect ... "It wasn't my (Jesse) great forcastng abilities that made me money...... It was my sitting"...

    Matcha I warned this may get messy. Here is a chart of Tuesday 9-21-10. Again forget the histogram. As you can see from the open right up until 2:00 pm est the volume indicates a similarity to the midday doldrums. Trying to trade during the doldrums just ain't worth it, IMO. After your...

    Matcha Forgive me if this attempt gets messy. Other than posting a ** JH ** type mini manual I'll leave it to you to find the subject matter. This is a chart of Monday 9-20-10 Forget about the price histogram, look at the volume bars and the time of day.
