That is terrific QT. As I recall marathon runners have a certain shelf life.

Profits come from your lot size. Net positive tics per day are simply the vehicle by which you drive your account. This is but one style of trading and it is the one that makes good sense of setting daily net tic targets, since it relies on daily consistency.

" Now you are entering into the ET spirit Surf. Here we have a wonderful collective group of souls all with differing points of view, differing rational processes, widely varying reading skills and abilities as so ablely demonstrated by your interpretation of my second paragraph and indeed...

This the part of ET that I just love and find very interesting. That notion "this is where you are very wrong" implies that the author is indeed very right. The only two things that we all know on ET are the Username and time of posting. The time of posting does in no way verify the time...

good luck to you Sir. extreme focus is a winning formula. Out of the reach of most I suspect. regards f9

'Trend' is probably the most used and least understood word on ET. In order to throw the word 'trend' about it must always be coupled to a frame of reference ( daily, 400 lots, 3 min etc) Winning trades are always with the trend or should I say 'a trend' Stop and think about it for a...

Yes I use capped volume bars, but I really have no idea what happened yesterday. I have gradually reduced my trading to as little input as possible.

That is pretty much it except I dont care what time it is. The ES is making new levels or it is not and how much momentum is behind each thrust is of vital concern. I am not bright enough to monitor every thing else. I tried that once and I will leave it to others.

I am with you T273. Only looking for momentum on ES pure and uncluttered. I hate bias it makes me biased. Just my .01

Yes I trade for a daily points target. It the sum of a series of small trades based on momentum in the ES morning session. Sometimes if the ES is going nowhere and is rolling between levels (my favorite type of day) I will continue trading ... not often though as I have other things to do...

Two different statements. Making money consistently does not constitute mastery IMO. The day I declare myself a master is the day you can declare me mad.

For all those traders watching HIGHS and LOWS forming on bars. Are you concerned with the volume of activity at the HIGH or LOW of a bar. Remember that you ( the trader) arbitrarily set the bar, not the market.

I have just bought a lenovo T61 and it is the best laptop that I have owned. However I want to increase the volume beyond the normal default slider scale. Any bright ideas gratefully received regards f9

hi bb, I havent used esignal charts for some time but I am sure that you will find it in the library

thank you G.

next question. can NT run two charts of differing frames side by side. ie 2min and a 5min many thanks f9

A very reasonable explanation. Traders, sim or real will always trade what they see if they are staring at a chart for their source information. How can they not! The implication of this thread ( omitting 'moron') is that different people see different things, a bit like describing an...

many thanks WT, I will keep your kind words and offer in mind. regards f9
