I use eSignal, but don't know of any way to Highlight orders over 50-lot. I can, however, set the T&S window to only show me trades with Size over 50. -Fast

In that case, I better not mention the cars I've gone through :D -Fast

Joey, I like how you keep your dollar-risk the same on every trade by adjusting size. And yes, you're boring :D -Fast

t_a, I'm new to watching T&S (just added it to my setup today). What, exactly, am I looking for on T&S? If shorting, do I want to see decent size going at the Bid? By the same token, do I want some good size hitting the Ask to go Long? -Fast

t_a, I will play with eSignal and see how I can do this later tonight. Do you think 50 is a good number to filter by though? Should it be set higher/lower? Thanks, -Fast

x-or, thanks for going through the journal. I appreciate the feedback. As an expirement, here's what I will try next week. On Tuesday, I will trade ES only and on Wednesday, I will trade NQ only. This should provide some interesting results. -Fast

What'd be REALLY funny is if someone took your "priceless" system and actually put a price on it and sold it to a few suckers! That IMHO would be "priceless" :D -Fast

LOL...my journal is anything but impressive :D -Fast

Chris, thanks for your great post! I've added a T&S window to my setup and will be observing T&S going forward. And you're right, I was looking for any reason to go Long, and the TRIN was good enough of a reason so I justified all my Long trades. In the beginning trading is a constant...

Joey, first of all...I appreciate your criticism :) I do have a plan, but my problem yesterday was that I put too much emphasis on one part of the plan. I use the TRIN to get a feel for overall market direction and since the TRIN seemed bullish to me at the time; I didn't get into any...

I subscribe to it, just to keep tabs on all the economic reports and earnings. It's only $9.99/mo. -Fast

Yep...had Quote issues today. -Fast

Btw, everyone....feel free to post on how YOU feel I performed on any day. It's OK...I can take it! That is why I maintain this journal...to get feedback from YOU :) -Fast

Probably should have been 1 star today considering I didn't really follow my plan. I always stick to my stops though, and that's the reason I don't have any huge down days. I don't rate the day based on points-performance, but rather on how I actually traded and not only missing but fighting...

October 15th (Wednesday) Followed Trading Plan: Total trades: 12 (7 Longs, 5 Shorts) 8 Winners, 4 Losers 9:43 AM - Long 1 ES 1051.00 9:47 AM - Exit 1 ES 1049.50 (Stop-loss hit) Result: -1.50 Notes: I should have entered short right off the open; that is exactly what my charts were...

I'm assuming 7 hrs day; 5 days a week :confused: Scientist; check your PMs once in a while :) -Fast

Awash, nice trades man...all profits! As far as adding to a position; I definitely plan on doing this once I increase size. As far as how/when to add; I would only add if the higher timeframes were still in the direction of my original entry. So, I would only add for trend-trades; not when...

That's a lot of work :eek: -Fast

LOL...true. Us 1-lotters have to stick with IB :D -Fast
