    Congratulations

    Thanks for all the responses. It's clear to me the biggest flaw my system had was the fact that since the ES was up over 40 points at one point it was in "bias" mode. I followed my rules and all, but to see that much money left on the table was eye opening. Funniest part was I only took 3 long...

    Congratulations

    If you caught the majority of that rare 100 pt move today. My system gave me 5 pts, slightly more than my target of 2 to 3 pts. If you banged it out, care to share some vague pointers? Only intraday traders need apply.

    Physical gold

    LOL Thanks Z I just may do that!

    Physical gold

    Thanks Spec...cannot do that at this time as it is in a safe until the estate settles, however I have no reason to doubt its authenticity. Purity is another matter.

    Physical gold

    Sorry if this is the wrong forum., but let's assume for a moment that I were given a number of 10 ounce physical gold bars as part of an estate that I were the executor of, what would be the best way to handle it. As a short term ES trader, I must admit I know nothing about this.

    Will take a while for the stock market to recover

    Fundamental for what?

    Now I see that I misspoke. I was referring to news driven events...I should have read more carefully. Carry on.

    Fundamental for what?

    For me, at least, FA moves the market immediately. However, because I am a TA trader, I wait for the MARKET to digest that news and act accordingly. Only because I am a TA trader who makes his bank on very short term moves. They both work...depending on your time horizon.

    The SPX has hit a cyclical top

    I believe he called for a CYCLICAL top which can take quite a while for it to play out.

    When it's windy better not go fishing.

    Take it from a 7 day a week fisherman...better to understand the wind and know how to read the water, then decide where and when to cast your line...the wind can be your friend or enemy if you know how to use it.

    Stupid CPU hogging websites....

    Funny you should say that... I ran the test from that link as well, and although the test proved negative for me, my AVAST picked up a threat during the scan: coinhive.min was infected with BV:Miner-T [Trj] Possibly a false positive when the popup arose, but noteworthy nonetheless.

    Stupid CPU hogging websites....

    That's odd. I find that ET is probably the most light weight websites that I frequent. If you are using Win7, try disabling active scripting. It has worked wonders for me. I'm sure that it can be disabled in Win10 but you would have to Google that procedure. Internet Options>Security...

    Is there a comfortable mouse?

    OK Gotta chime in here. I have been using the Logitech MX-500 mouse for over 12 years now...with no ill effects. It may be discontinued now, but can probably be found on EBay. It is a gaming mouse and very easy on the wrist. Never had a mechanical problem with it either. Secondly, I learned a...

    IB and AMP - are fills similar ?

    Not true at all. All futures orders are routed through the exchange as the term DIRECT TO EXCHANGE connection implies. I have used Ninja with CQG for years, both SIM and Live and can tell you that the reason front ends fill differently, is based on the strength of its built in simulator engine...

    Recovery Time between workouts

    Just maintenance at this point...Don't want to be one of those immobile arthritic invalids in my 60's.

    Recovery Time between workouts

    As a 57 y/o man, I can tell you that this particular closely verifies what I have found out about myself. I have worked out (strength and aerobics) for the better part of 40 years. I still work out 4 days a week with weight training, but admit I am lacking in the aerobics department. My weights...

    Matched High in SPY?

    Good eye Scat. I am seeing a DT in the ES as well: However, The 100K Vol charts are a bit cleaner and I will wait to see if the RS builds out and play that short accordingly:
