    Is chart trading dead? (At least when it comes to ES)

    Regardless of the consolation prize, you always remember that you choked when having the chance to grab the brass ring. In trading, it seems the opportunity for that is a routine experience.

    I don't know if you follow women's golf... but at the year-ending CME Globe championship this year, Lexi Thompson had perhaps the most pressure-packed short putt in history. If she makes it, she wins (1) Player of the year, the CME championship, $500k prize money, and 2 Hall of Fame points...

    Back in my professional bowling days, one old-timer used to quip, "the mind is the Devil's weapon". True in trading as well.

    I recall Rotter's name. I don't know, but perhaps Rotter was a "front-runner" ala SAC Capital. (??) If that's the case, can't logically compare him to anything. But just because "one guy" made it big with that/any kind of thing doesn't mean it's the "norm" and that ET traders should be able...

    Krugman: If We Survive Trump, ‘Make Pink Pussy Hats The Symbol Of Our Delivery From Evil’

    That's true. Not only does he have "partisan block opposition" from the Dems, he has to overcome the resistance of the Republican Establishment elites/RINOS. I'm a bit disappointed but not surprised he hasn't been able to "deliver" all that much so far on his campaign platform. I'm still...

    Biden/Obama ticket 2020

    Can an ex-president run for VP? In the case of a "Joe/Odumbo" presidency... that seems like a really bad thing. Joe would likely end up being a string-puppet for Odumbo's policies to destroy America yet some more. Let's hope Trump has enough success with MAGA for enough of the voters to go...

    And from what I've heard, her dick is equally large!!

    A lot of what OP said that "Grady said".. sounds like BS to me. The notion of trying to scalp the stock indices for "2-4 tics" is ridiculous.... waaayyy too much noise for that.

    Ditto. To be a really good trader you need to (1) have clearly defined what you should do and why... that's where K.I.S.S. comes in, (2) be paying close attention so that you see what you're supposed to and "on time" (easy to mess this one up), and (3) be able to size-up the situation and pull...

    Good post. I was going to chime in with "Grady is full of crap", but held my tongue (not sure why... that's not like me.) :) When you explain it from the broker's "account churning, generating commissions" perspective, makes perfect sense.

    Is chart trading dead? (At least when it comes to ES)

    Not really. Both tend to make their reversals at the same time. With higher NQ volatility and more violent reversals, more difficult to catch it close to the best trade point.... IOW, "more left on the table"... not to mention the more common "air pockets" in the NQ "net" = "not that...

    ES and NQ not so different. Point value of NQ is 40% of the point value of the ES, but NQ is about 2.5x more volatile.

    Krugman: If We Survive Trump, ‘Make Pink Pussy Hats The Symbol Of Our Delivery From Evil’

    Trumped talked a lot about "draining the swamp". Not much draining so far.

    1. ES charts were fine this year, as always. Yes, volatility was low much of the time. That only means you should expect to make your gains in smaller chunks. 2. Spend time on becoming a better chart player. When you get a handle on that, you won't be listening to anybody for market...

    23 Cryptoidiots had embolisms when they read this treatise

    No, this.... to be suffered by some Bitcoin devotes... at the notion of blockchain not being "all that and a bag of chips". You know... like when you were a child and learned the Easter Bunny wasn't real.:) apoplexy noun 1. stroke1(def 6). 2. a sudden, usually marked loss of bodily function...

    Is volume analysis useful in index futures?

    No, not really... quite the opposite in fact. Eliminating volume considerations from my trades has been a big help. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
