+$122 Day +$388 Week Did not trade the ES 1007.00 short trigger, (yes I'm an idiot). Decided to wait for consumer sentiment #. Was watching ES and ANF for a trade on the news. ANF has high short interest so good numbers could mean a further squeeze and bad should be a nice sell off the gap...

+$122 Day +$388 Week I decided to post again because Jeg and Geez are posting and I cave in to peer pressure. They assured me they were only posting because I stopped posting. I sincerely hope I don't scare them away again. (P.S. I may cave in to some peer pressure, but I will NOT...

I prefer ticker tape to toilet paper anyway :D

Agreed 100%, Topper. IMHO the ONLY thing you need displayed on a chart to trade effectively is a moving average that works in your time frame.

I'm still dizzy from steve's post, too, but I secretly believe it's wormed its way into my subconscious much the way Alan Farley's book did long before I had any clue what "slow capitulation of the rising wedge" meant. Hog, when I traded ES today I really was in the "now". I just grabbed that...

What are the names for these indicators and how do you use them?

S/R is my church and the 20-period EMA is my god :cool:

And bring a laptop if you hit the can at 8:28 a.m. on a news day.

David, I moved the initial stop because I wanted to lock in a profit. The fact that I had a decent profit showing that more than exceeded the prior loss made me react too quickly. A professional trader treats every new trade as just that: a brand new trade. Had I treated the second entry as...

(psssst! Hermit, wrong guy...) :p For the record I can never again watch price approach S/R levels without becoming a big dog sniffing around and peeing on the fire hydrant with all the other big dogs. I LMAO every time I see the price pushing a level.

I told you I was ADD :eek:

There was no need to step back this morning after stop out. The opening range trade was pure discipline to trade the short trigger with a 6-tick stop. Nothing wrong there. Second entry of the opening range trigger price was based on confirmation that the first trade was valid. My only mistake...

Yes, one day down :cool:

Sorry, didn't trade any of these, saw this post while I was busy practicing my ES trading this morning and had no time to make a pick from the lists. For the record, I'm generally a counter-trend trader, so these lists present a challenge... As usual trading was easy today. Only traded the...

+$83 No sim today. I know how to trade, I’ve paper traded ES for weeks, live traded a few times, sim traded and no excuse not to just plain trade. Thanks to all you guys for getting on my case about this. After all that I royally screwed up my ES trading. Pre-market I really, really...

OK, I'm game, you pick, I'll trade it.

Trading is easy, very easy, damn easy. The 100% return I seek this year is just a bit harder.

The attached P/L from my demo account is proof that I have a serious crisis of confidence trading real money.

+ $36 My sim account was not working correctly at first this morning. It worked for ES, but not for my RIMM experiment. It would not lift any RIMM orders. Later it lifted a RIMM order, but I was too busy to continue to mess with “the experiment”, so I closed the position and worked on my...
