Good trading NoDoji. I actually like Doji's but maybe that is me. Anyway, having the similar problem with real money which is like to over trade when losing and under trade when winning. After having 6 winning es trades in a row this week over multiple days, I did not want to have a...

What I am talking about is for es, you have a graph of the yen. Is this for only trading the yen, or do you trade es futures? If so, can you include a graph or chart of the es with that data?

I don't understand the chart, can you post a graph or something?

If you want to trade the index, than why not just trade ES, you just need $ 500 margin if you plan to hold the trade just for the day. You could fund your account with just $ 2,500 - $ 5,000, and trade until you get good enough to add more money to the account. The benefit also of trading...

Did good today even after waking up really late from getting some food poison from port wine cheese (note to traders don't eat this type of cheese if you plan on waking up early and don't want to be sick). $ 87 profit from 1 trade es long today. Volume analyse worked today for setup even...

I agree its hard to time exact price to get in on ES, but usually if you are right, the market will move at least 3 points n your favor. If you want to make money quickly, go for 1 point, and get out. Something I added to my trading lately is time zones. These time zones will help you...

Yes, stocks are moved by the market up or down. So I guess futures could be a leading indicator. Made $ 50 today, 1 long trade only on ES. Should have held longer. In sim, I did 3 ES trades including a short all profitable. On stocks, I had orders selling a bunch at open, and buying...

I woke up late today. After I got in my trade which I had stops and targets set, I went and took a long shower. This will be my only trade today since I got a doctors appointment. The money I made will cover the cost. :-) Anyway, my advice is to decrease the number of trades you take per...

$ 192 commish seems high, were you getting in and out a bunch of times before making a profit? How about doing something a little different. Instead of posting every trade, try posting one trade when the market is moving slowly including setup, and then end of day just do a summery of your...

You need to have patience my friend. I was long at 991.25 and made profit. If you are willing to have a 2 point stop, you can't have a .25 profit target, long term you will lose money even with a 75% win ratio.

I had to go in ambulance once, very expensive, so if you can drive yourself to the hospital or have a friend do so, much better. I just wanted some advil and water. They would not give me anything until the doc saw me. Then instead of giving me advil, they gave me morphine which is not what...

It took you this long to figure this out, I am starting to worry about you?

Very good trading, you had lower $ amt for your losses and higher $ amt for your win plus more wins than losses. After a certain number of positive months, you may want to double the amount you risk per trade with a goal of earning over $ 100,000 per year on your trading.

Well the good news, is that I get paid by people who I trade per month even on days that I don't win big.... I agree that I need to get rid of both negative and positive attitudes. I did previously buy 2000 more shares of SUF at $ 1.15/sh which I am holding for a longer term trade and got...

I woke up really late after seeing a late night movie. I thought to myself I don't even really want to trade on Friday. Then I open my charts, saw I missed a perfect trade if I had woken up earlier. Then I saw a trade that matched all my signals, so instead of taking it with real money, I...

So does this work with futures? I went to their site and it talks about stocks. Or do you trade the index not the futures? I would assume if I want to trade the index, I would have to go prop. I assume Ninja trader would still be able to give the same indicators on the index rather than on...

So, I have ninja trader, obviously, if I buy on market then they can't see that order until its filled, but for my stop do they see it or not?

Let's assume I sell 3 naked call options on the S&P 500. To protect or hedge my position I would want to be long the es future. 1) Would I go long only when my indicators tell me to go long. 2) Go long when the call position starts to go against me.

Why is that Toyota came out with the 1st hybrid cars and not the US auto makers? Maybe if we made more fuel efficient cars instead of gas guzzling SUV's, then they would get more customers.
