    CL Redux

    Out of respect for the OP rules of this thread, I'll just add this much before unsubscribing. Anyone who claims to trade anything with 100% win rate, no losses ever, no stress in averaging down=against to the point where it's so boring that a nap is necessary, is without question completely...

    Grinding it out, day after day

    That's one fundamental difference between the worlds of stock trading and futures trading. Enough players can step into an illiquid stock or stocks and destroy them. But that cannot happen in the futures world... it's a game of hedge funds and HFTs who totally control the tape. The actual...

    Oh c'mon saxon... how long have you been doing this now? Four - five years at least? Averaging against aka Martingale fighting the market is the epitome` of trading to you. How does this time differ from all those other times where burning thru a pack of cigarettes and all your fingernails...

    NinjaTrader 7 Released!

    Ray... for the life of me I cannot see where NT-7 charts can be set for tick or volume bar settings. When I click on the timeframe tab, all I see is time-bar default settings. Having used NT for the past five years or so, I should know what to do. Where are the chart setting choices? Are they...

    CL Redux

    fwiw: I took +50 cents out of a 102 cent swing, and I feel nothing. Not disappointment, not elation. Nothing. Just routine business operation Any idea how many years it took, how many thousands of micro-analyzed trades, how many days of give - take - give - take from bell to bell, how many...

    CL Redux

    CL traders have to always keep in mind that relationships with S&P, DXY, EUR are only semi-correlated. The ES and DX are just derivative markets... paper contracts and nothing more. CL has crude oil is a delivered underlying instrument. When it's time to adjust size via the hedge funds and...

    And you honestly believe you are the very first person on earth to discover this simple fact? That literally thousands of other traders smart as and much smarter than you overlooked this simple holy grail? There can only be two endings to this story: #1: you are a superior mind who has it...

    CL Redux

    The only sad part to this story here is that some unsuspecting readers will actually believe you have something of value to share. If you actually, honestly believe what you wrote, that post above pretty much says it all right there. Good luck with that :cool:

    CL Redux

    Traders are naturally an intelligent, intellectual group of people. They got where they are today in part or whole by processing information. Logic & reason. If you are stumped by a puzzle or task, just gather more information and sift out the facts. So they approach trading the same way...

    CL Redux

    no one ever succeeded on a long-term basis trying to micro-manage every single trade via logic & reason the only way to succeed long-term is take a large sample size of similar trades, manage them in similar fashion and let the profits exceed losses. methodical or systematic, that's it a...

    Does anyone here comprehend plain english? I said nothing about the OP other than there must be some motivation to know whether IPs can be read or not. Capiche'? I don't care if the OP here is my longest standing client, long-lost relative or complete stranger. I said nothing specific about...

    I didn't say anything about the OP. I made general statements of facts in reply to the questions and speculation that followed. I don't know and don't care what motivated the question. Merely replied as I'm familiar with the process. There is no valuable information in this thread. People who...

    CL Redux

    fwiw I only day-trade anything right now. When the indexes begin trending again, I'll do some ES swing trading. Everything else is intraday only for now by personal choice. ZS is great for straightline $250 to $500 per contract moves... few times per day on average. Not quite as violent as CL...

    CL Redux

    you might want to take a peek at ZS package, too. The tick size is same 12.5 and it's a breakout = breakdown trader's wet dream. Or should I say fantasy? Or maybe better not say anything more?
