Thats useful information. Historically, from your backtests, did you ever before got 4 signals in one day in ES? What was the max. number of signals you got before in a day? These stats would help numerically saying how odd was yesterday.

Thanks for posting....That was a great chart! I want to show it efficient markets harping professors!

It obviously didn't work out. Price action was suggesting that just maybe we are putting in a short term bottom around 1.20. But, it seems we are going much lower eventually. Got stopped for a 50 pip loss. Looking at the big picture, I can easily see EUR at or below 1.15 in couple of months...

today there were 3 data points - we missed all. Claims are an important data point - they have been going up - markets will go down. 2-4 weeks from today, ES will be below 1375.

I have suffered the same thing - and I think now it is a very common thing that traders go through. We spend a lot of time developing an approach and then we move to another approach and so on. One quick solution for this tendency, imo, is to have 2 separate accounts - one for strictly...

I used to do things you wrote in the first para. No more. what was your yearly pnl for 2008, 9, 10 , 11 and to date 12? How many years hv you been trading? Because only a pro would write such things as you saying. My yearly PL was -50k, -20k, -10k, -2k year to date for last 4yrs. Most of...

i got doubly hosed today :D

short 2 cars NQ @ 2561, last trade for the day. Generally, I won't take a trade in the same direction as an intra-day trend after a reversal, but today looks very bearish to me.

yes agreed btw, out of NQ at 2555. Lost some money today. Now out of indices for today. Short euro now - looking for 80-100 pip move on this one. If this trade works out, will make all of the money lost on indices.

my stop on ES was 1342.5, got out there....NQ still holding on. have a sell order at 55. This selloff was bernanke induced....not the normal market action today. Edit: Btw, what is the rationale for stop at 37, if you can explain please.

Good point to add, but no margin. If Dan is reading, he should add :)

long ES @ 1350.75 long NQ @ 2577 B1S2 - Sometimes, I don't use initial stops. but mostly 3-5 points. Anyways, it seems noone posts in this journal anymore other than ammo, mastacoli and myself.

Dunstan, Continue please, I am following your thread. Have wanted to look at COT report for couple of years now, but have been to busy with my intraday trading and system development. So, if you can give a good tutorial on this forum, I for surely will benefit. As I am sure, many others would...

What a fitting reply! LOL :D

almost flat for the day. made +150 in ES and lost 150 in NQ Had twice opportunities to close during the day for +500 gains, but wanted the trade to run.

Long ES @ 1346.25 Long NQ @ 2570

I am wondering how much can a good signal provider earn on zulutrader?

Mate, I never had PFG as my broker, so I didn't lose my money. I started this thread since I wanted traders involved with PFG to have a specific place to talk about their situation, possibly getting their money back etc. away from the clutter that is to be found on many ET threads. To be...

Being very cruel indeed. Bwo lost his money and his client's money. Everyone here hates bwo, but still lets not be this cruel to Bwo. Seriously, this thread is uncalled for.

very good points again. As you said the most likely use of such a thread is to act as a confirmation tool for the OP.
