Are you sure about that? Do you own a life time license bought a long time ago? When I opened my brokerage account a few years ago now, Ninja pretty much offered only their own brokerage (Dorman/Phillip) or Interactive Brokers. I know a guy who still trades through AMP, but that's because he...

I first started using NT7 around 2010, I think. Never had any issues, but I remember even then - quite a few people were complaining and saying it was an unstable and poor software. I didn't understand those comments as it worked very fine with me. When I got back into the markets a few years...

I thought Jack was writing a new book now...?

Forgive me if you feel I'm intruding, but this being a public journal I'm taking my chances. I think @hafez50 already gave you great advice and you should absolutely stick with 1 MES for now. At this point in your journey, don't focus on making $$$, but honing your skills and learning your...

What's your needs beyond an options table? Is it an alternative to keep using Sierra and just get whatever options table seems fine with you? From what I'm hearing - Sierra Chart is a superior platform compared with Ninjatrader. On another forum I know mostly everyone left Ninja in favour of...

I got the cheetah analogy the other way around and I believe it was Mark Weinstein who used it. Mark also claimed pretty much close to having a 100 % win rate. And he attributed that to simply waiting until everything was perfect before entering. Just like the superior cheetah who still would...

Your story is probably not uncommon... Being a winning trader ain't that hard. Being a consistent winning trader is very hard.

If you're messing around with single lots of micros - obviously you've got no reason to worry? By the way - I've had slippage on MES and have experienced times where I'm not instantly filled with limit orders on 5-lots. And this have been on a regular day. Pretty much never happened on the...

I didn't say it was - I said it might be. At least that's what many people on this forum have claimed earlier. It can be a bit noisy, choppy and with deep retracements, so maybe that's why. I don't have experience day trading other instruments, so I don't know. Some people have claimed that NQ...

Sorry to hear that, @hurricane_sh. Mastering the markets and ourselves is certainly not easy. It's possibly one of the most challenging things you can do in life. At least day trading. There are other ways to make money than day trading ES - which might be the toughest game in town. Good luck...

Excellent start, IMO. Of course, I'm a fan boy, so no criticism here. :)

I think you need more or better rules to guide your behavior and these rules should come from your own research/backtesting - not trading literature or gurus who tend to make unsubstantiated claims from cherry picked charts. A simple example would be that in back-testing a few years of data...

One of my all time favorite shows. Watched all seasons several times. Generally, the dialogue may be a bit scripted and unrealistic at times, but I still love it. I thought the relationship between Bobby and Chuck last season seemed very unrealistic considering their history, but turns out it...

I apologize if I sound too critical, but didn't you recently do the exact thing in reverse, i.e., short a strong trend higher that went 100 points against you? Regarding Friday - the odds actually were approximately 57 % that we'd close higher than we opened, so it's not a very clear short on...

This is typical for every forum as far as I know.

I don't seee much momentum on either side. We're already down - 2,23 % which is a lot, normally. If we trade lower from here - I'm betting it will be a slower trend down...

Back in long at 43,50. Stop @ 38,50. Targeting 2875. Trying to pick a bottom here. EDIT: Stopped.

So - consolidation/retracing higher before the next leg down or did we find a bottom here? So far - just as choppy as last Friday was at this point. Every low is bought and every high is sold. Last Friday NQ was the stronger one too and a tell we'd eventually go higher. Big picture - we were...

Stop @ 46,75. Will rather re-enter if stopped. Come get me. :) And stopped out for + 1,0. Will probably try to re-enter long.

Long 45,75. Stop at 39. Targeting 2875.
