    Salty the market rules. That is the rule I follow. I have my tool box of techniques and tactics but I do not try to box in the market to my rules rather I use the tool that is appropiate to what the market is doing. Any rules I could make up ..well they don’t change the market to my favor...

    Just to clarify I am a 100% discretionary trader and my focus is ES and NQ. Occasionally, may trade YM. I think it best to learn one or two instruments like the front and back of you hand. Learn the nuances thoroughly. Learn to focus on what your are doing. Practice and practice and practice...

    Review of One up trader

    IMO these operations are making money off fees. Just save your own money ..practice...practice...practice until you find an edge ...then practice more until you execute with consistent profitability and are good at trading your edge THEN, and only then, trade your saved money live.

    I did sneak in a few more potatoe chip money trades before the close. Here are the updated stats. The latter trades were all winners. They upped my win rate but lowered a little the average win amount since they were scalps. In the end net was over $1900.00. That is what counts but still not...

    Had a meaningless day this morning in the NQ. All winners. Average win good. Over $1000.00 net. Had a terrible performance in the ES. It was almost a meaningful day! In the end I was net profitable and that trumps all other stats. But trading requires intense focus and concentration with good...

    Took a couple more trades. Meaningless scalps. Since they are scalps that lowers my average win but still since no losses still ok

    Last year I saw those two monkeys that went to space. Took some pictures. Here is one. This was at the Smithsonian Space Museum in DC. That monkey made it there and back but died a few days later from an infection derived from some sensor wire placed in his body (if I remember correctly). The...

    I agree. Others want volatility. I don't like the drawdowns that comes with volatility. Gotta go.

    One other tiny note. See how you can make money entering on just about any bar. Just look at this sideways action on the above 5 minute chart. See, every bar has bulls and bears tugging at each other..pushing at each other...dial down to a 1 minute chart and you can see this action better. I use...

    Another meaningless morning in the ES in this sideways movement. 7 total contracts traded 6 winners. One loser. Net $612.50. I gotta stop and go to town to pick up tiller #1 carb and drop off tiller #2 carb (always best to have a backup in life). Getting close to garden planting time. Fresh...
