You got balls austinp. Looks like there are just mostly pretenders to the crown. I hope there is at least one real profitable trader on ET who does take you up just for the fun of it. I think that you post this challenge alone proves that you have some advice that may be helpful to some...

I see you used a different time frame of 3 min instead of 2 min for es. Also, the pivot I was using shows up as an early indicator that a trade may be approaching, but then I use the MACD as the confirmation to get in. Then indicator that I pay for then tells me the overall trend for the...

Well, I made $ 30 today real money testing this method with secondary trend signals that I pay for. I made this money on the er. However, I went back and changed the method a little for the es, included the expensive indicators, and added some pivots, to create a working es trade that would...

Hi Trader28, On this 2 min er2 chart for 09-07-06 in tradestation, where would you go long and short for this day? Please note that I want to confirm, I have it correct since I may combine your method with another one to see if it improves the win ratio and the best place for me to enter...

I think your long picks are good, however, I would not take them myself without hedging. If you decide to have both the longs and shorts listed I think it would be safer for myself, others who want more risk can do as they want.

Hi alphastocks, I wanted to know the min amount of money would I need to allocate to say thinkorswim to be able to do both the long and short portion of your hedge strategy. I currently trade futures. I don't plan to go long anything in Sept since this is normally the worse month of the...

I had an overnight es order at 1301, 3 contracts short, that made me a little money today. I then counter traded a little against the down trend for a nice profit. Much better than yesterday which was not a good day for me. August has been a hard month for me, hopefully rest of the...

Ok, please keep us or me updated on the new strategies. I do feel win vs loss is important since you do need to also keep in mind that on losing trades you are also still paying commissions. Also, psychologically, its easier for me to trade when there are more winners than losers, and...

I trade futures at home and pay $ 5 round trip per contract with Trade Station. Which prop firm are you with that allows you to trade futures? I assume you trade at their office and their computers. Can you bring in head phones and listen to a stream feed audio from that computer? Do...

Dan, Can you list which future contracts you are trading. I think you mentioned the ym as one of them. Also, on trade station, I get es quotes no problem, but ym seems out of whack. Do I need to pay for ym quotes separately, or is this just not a liquid market? For example if its not...

I actually got a call today for a computer position interview. I have over 8 years of experience doing computer work. I would probably need to get another 2 certifications to get some better work. But like you, I am thinking it might be better to do a real job again than trading. I like...

<< one other thing join a prop firm, sit around people who make lots of money everyday, they'll teach you something after they get to know you in person.>> Don't these firm's like Don's just trade stocks. And the reason you need them is because you can't use leverage like you do in...

Or its better to do non trend type trades.

The future symbol that I thought this would work in say ym, did not at least for me. However, made a small 1 point profit going long es as a scalp. Maybe should try longer term trades, not sure how long these trends last.

I am going to try mr. ball using futures. hopefully, we will get a little bounce.

I think it depends on what you feel comfortable with. I tried cfgtrading for forex, and it did not make me profitable. However, I think some of their people do make money trading forex there. I did not like that you had a small profit target and higher stop target so that you had to hit a...

Well, I went long GBP/USA and EUR/USA since middle of last week, and those were good trades. Market has been falling to crap. I almost went long GOOG before earnings last, but glad I changed my mind since I would actually have been down. ES futures have been good so far so hope that...

Hi, I just saw your thread but not in time for the web tutorial. If you have another one, can you let me know so that I can attend. Also, if there is a way I can use the indicators in trade station, please let me know.

Thanks. Many of my option trades replicate a fundalmental therory that I have regarding the stock to be over priced or under priced. So I guess you would say that I am a directional trader who sometimes sells option rather than buys them to take advantage of the fact that even if I am wrong in...
