    ES Journal - 2013

    I stopped trading once I was positive for the day. The amazing thing that I saw after trading was market breaks out of range to HH and then turns around and makes a LL. Looks like stop running on both short and long stops. While range was holding, I was able to scalp a little profit on some...

    System made 124% in 1/2 a year but ...

    You have not stated if you can back test results for multiple years. As noted the market may be in a bull market for the last 1/2 a year, and your system may not work in a sideways or bear market. You also need to understand why your edge works. I know why my edge works and is used by some...

    Rolled Back to the Old ET

    The avatars were cool, the current color scheme is better than that bright white you had. Also, spacing was too much. I am not sure what was the main benefit unless it was mostly on the back end.

    Windows 8 is Trash

    This makes no sense unless you built the computer yourself, you don't need to buy the operating system software. Each "OEM" say for example a Dell computer has a Windows license tag on it. This means that for example you can call the company and get a copy of the operating software for say $...

    Windows 8 is Trash

    I would say that Windows 7 is basically a fix to Vista to make it actually work correctly. I like it. The problem with Microsoft is that they will come out with things no one wants for example Windows 8. No one who uses a computer wants their computer to work like their cell phone...

    Increasing Size During Drawdown

    Assuming you still believe in the direction of your trade, I was able to do the following with real money, but it would have been better to get into a good setup in the 1st place. In futures, I placed a direction trade which went against me. After it went against me to the next pivot level I...

    A simple price action approach

    Many times in the past I previously like to try to pick bottoms and or fight trends, which caused losses. Today, I went with trend as market was making new lows, hopefully learning from my previous mistakes. My only issue was not going for more profit on this trade. I think one has to examine...

    My over 6-year trading experience in a nutshell

    I would say your IQ is that of someone close to a retard who has problems tying his own shoes, since the dumber you are the easier it is to trade. I bet I could teach a high school drop out my system and he would make more money than me. I always suggest that someone should either go to...

    I'm new and I want to trade for a living.

    1) Yes, you can make more from trading. Today and yesterday I made more from trading than I would at a high paying job, yet what I made is probably tiny compared to most successful traders. 2) However, to get to this level by yourself may take 5 - 10 years unless you have someone to mentor...

    Partitioning a Drive - Pros & Cons

    A hard drive failure will kill some sectors or a hard drive. So if the hard drive is partitioned, its possible to copy data from the other partition of the same hard drive that was not corrupted. However, once a hard drive goes bad, you need to replace it anyway, and so this is not a good...

    When is a swing point significant, in your opinion?

    Certain PA matters if it's in a combination with other factors. I profitably traded today. I then was looking at an old chart from another trader and saw an indicator that I did not recognize. So I went looking for it. I then found and indicator designed for equities that actually works...

    I have a system, now what

    Think of trading as a business. You are the owner / manager. Since you currently have a job and are not sure moving a paper trading system to real money is feasible, you have some options. 1) Hire someone to monitor the system for example a trader from this website who has the time to...
