ENFJ... score was 11 - 25 - 25 - 11 thru the four categories. http://typelogic.com/enfj.html Hopefully that extrapolates to +11, +25, +25 and +11pts NQ in the first four sessions next week :)

<i>""Took 6 mins to build the basket, pass to trader, and get this in the market."</i> That's like saying, "sun was late coming up today because we still rotate the moon by hand in these parts"</i> Qs and SPY are the most ultra-liquid shares instruments that exist. The broker owes your...

The ER2 used to be expansive, dynamic and directional. For whatever reason(s) including VIX at 16ish, this symbol is muted more days than not. Choppy, deep pullbacks and sideways buzz. Reminds me of ES with a fraction of the liquidity. CL is now what the ER2 used to be. While we managed to...

The truth is, we learn to see the same things using different tools. What the dome guys identify and confirm as support and resistance via "walls", etc are likewise visually clear on a bar chart. At the exact-same moment in time, chart readers have seen a failure pattern of some sort and...

Typical gap & flat day for the indexes. Opened higher, squirted straight up off the bell and strung sideways in a narrow range for hours. Many times these type of sessions tip over in the final hour of trading, especially when it's extended in one direction for several days. Same story with...

<i>Any advice, guidance and help is HIGHLY appreciated. I am readily prepared to travel to any part of the world and learn at least the basic skills needed to make this a long-term profitable business activity. As a student, all I have is 10K and a HUGE motivation to learn and keep learning how...

<b>Tuesday</b> By 11am est I was up +$500 per ER contract, trading ones and twos. By 3pm est I was right back to $0, period. A total range of 6pts from opening bell thru 2pm est? Four swings inside a 4pt true range? Are you freakin' kidding me? This is the ER we're talking about. Went...

<b>Monday</b> Started out short and holding for +5pts profit to the daily pivot point. For the third time in six sessions, ES and NQ tagged that price magnet while ER did not... turned abruptly and went the opposite direction. Curiosly, buy signals in the ER (1min chart) blew away inside...

<i>"You can see market turns on the DOM before you see the price prints on a chart."</i> You will see a lot of b.s. on the dome, too. Learning to filter out reality from phantom orders is a mental lag that brings dome action to par with price bars. When a price bar closes on a chart, it...

<i>"Consistently pulling $5k a day from the market is one thing...</i>" One of the main features that kept me visiting ET in general was watching szeven, lescor and a few others sharing performance. If I recall correctly, szeven had losing days. He had a few painful ones at that. Same is...

<i>"Your current situation will not last. Mark my words. It will not last. Been there, done that and seen it. So put the extra time into a new venture or expand your trading. Most important is that you like whatever you are doing. It is actually a good idea to supplement income if you have...

Friday was a little better. Clear breakout pattern to the long side early, stopped me out for +2pts and promptly ran 7+ in favor afterwards. Caught +4pts downside on the morning drop, was up +5.1pts ER by noon est For those who scoff at "quitting too soon", apparently they've never sat...

<i>"Definitely struggling with this market lately..."</i> <b>Thursday</b> was another go-nowhere session for all eminis. Tight-range swings, no direction either way. Had ample chances to breakeven for the session, but held all trades for distance where none existed. I've traded the ER2...

<i>"Strategy really is about the least important aspect of consistent profitability!"</i> What happens when you apply all of the management stuff to a worthless strategy with negative expectancy? The OP is starting from square one. Cart before the horses

<i>"Your biggest problem is going to be impatient. Few traders are going to be successful in 6 weeks or 6 months or even in a couple of years. I will give you ONE piece of trading advice. UNTIL you can make money on paper regularly, don't go anywhere near your trading capital. Some will...

<i>"I believe Jack has stated the inverse. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showt...653#post1899653"</i> I believe Jack and troops will inevitably evolve to higher levels of trader's skill and ability.

<i>"Volume Analysis is useful to those that need it. However, there are some price action only traders that don't need Volume Analysis simply because one of the following approaches is being used: A) They see volume within the price without having to plot volume on their charts. I notice...

<i>"As a student, all I have is 10K and a HUGE motivation to learn and keep learning how to do this"</i> Your two assets, 10k and motivation are unrelated. Until you develop trading skills to #1 breakeven and then #2 profit consistently, money doesn't matter. $10k, $100k or $1mil in an...

<i>"Bentley, schmentley.... where's the Veyron indicator?"</i> I lived in Parker for a couple of years... downtown Denver in 2000 ~ 2001 used to look like lakeside Chicago with hot autos aligned. All those gazillion tract houses popping up like pressboard mushrooms at that time are now...

... or, we could just keep playing our game. Take the pattern signals, hold stops, cut losses short and let profits run. Trading really is just a numbers game with patience and discipline applied to a mathematical edge. Not shown here was long ES 1417 for par, short 1417 for par, short...
