Mickey Mouse have me on ignore. If he didn't, he could have been on the right side of the market today... :) I haven't looked into it in detail, but historically, I believe wars generally have been bullish for the market. Ukraine was obviously different for obvious reasons. This ME conflict...

I believe this accurately summarizes the path and mental state of most neophyte retail traders trying to learn trading on their own. It's only too easy to think you're learning something of value, but actual trading is where the rubber meets the road and that's where most fail. This is not...

4400 is a good initial target. Let's see if we have the strength to hit 4448. I got trailed out of a long at 4395.25 which was hit just as I was about to give it a few more points to breathe. So, not initiating anything new here and calling it a day.

Keep your 15 minute delayed KISS TA for yourself. :) If you read what I posted here pre-market and later on in the ES journal the market today is behaving pretty much as expected.

Gentlemen, I believe we have lift-off. Let's see if we can hit 4400 at least.

Like I said, it would be a stretch... :) But if we start ripping it's a target to keep in mind as we've had plenty of days this year exceeding 2 % up to the upside. Watching for a gap and go or gap and crap (but still within the upper range of yesterday's range) on the Open now. Buy the dip...

So, you discovered the holy grail of short term trading index futures, arguably the hardest way in the world to make money, off a 15 minute delayed TradingView feed. Clearly with no experience day trading index futures. In principle, you know nothing about (day) trading index futures...

My trading model says today will be a consolidation day or continuation higher, so no shorts beyond a scalp at this point. I went long at 71.50, but I might be early, so prepared to take a stop out and re-enter at lower prices if so be. KISS. :)

Why can't you day trade? If you found the holy grail on index futures to the point where you can't believe anyone loses money day trading ES you're set for life. Just harvest and compound your stake. Give it a shot. :)

Watching for consolidation in the upper part of yesterday's range or continuation higher today. :cool: 4448 is a magnet above, but might be asking too much today.

4380 is a magnet today - and we can continue even further.

4360 today, yes? Maybe 4380.

If Jack's method is exceptional - why spend time on anything else? I hear you on having too many ideas and too little time. Admittedly, research and testing takes a ton of time. However, one only needs one good method/system for day trading.

This is intriguing because at one point you were a heavy proponent and student of Jack Hershey. Did you abandon that path completely?

I wouldn't recommend anyone to start and that would be 100 % more profitable than wasting away your money on KISS TA. Regardless of that, I'm not trying to mentor or teach anyone on ET, so that's a big difference. Anyone who's trying to do so on ET should be willing to take some heat and...

Re-read the post you're quoting as you clearly didn't get it. As for lines on my charts - there's essentially only one major trend channel and a flag within, including the most common MAs, so I wouldn't say there's that many. So it doesn't work now? Looking forward to the calls.

Gotta love the newbies defending Scat for his valuable teachings... :) I don't see many in this thread saying TA does not work. I think what irks most people is drawings on yesterday's chart chock full of contradictory signals claiming KISS TA requiring no skills (Scat's words) will make you...

I would disagree that PRM is the only true edge as it isn't an edge per se. PRM would only make you bleed out slower if you don't have a method with a positive expectancy. On the other hand, you might have a method with a positive expectancy which blows up merely on noise because you don't...

Always easy in hindsight. :)

So, you got stopped out on your initial short of resistance. You 'chased the breakout' and now you're in the hole on that one, too. Time to scratch it for a loss. Assuming 5 point stops you now need 10 points (!) just to breakeven. So, is this a retrace or was it an actual breakout that's now...
