So now I will start trading again. Only two trades thus far taken this morning. ROFLMAO.

What kind of day is it panning out to be according to my descriptions in previous posts in this journal? Anyone know? Hint look at the naked 5 min chart in my post #1352 above. Apart from a understanding the phase of the cycle (larger context) it is important to try and decipher "what" kind of...

Ok thanks @cafeole. I am posting a chart of the 2 min chart highlighting your entry bar and exit area. I want to trade some more and have not been able to for all the annotating (which I don't mind doing) but I also want to trade. Your entry and SL gives me the opportunity to explain something...

Could you look at the TIME at the bottom and tell me which candles? The time of the candles on that 2 min chart I posted. I think you are talking about an entry on the opening bar of RTH's (on the 2 min chart) and the SL on the next bar but cannot make any comments unless I know for sure.

I am posting a third chart to later make some comments on. It is the same 5 min RTH's chart in my post #1341 BUT with the annotations removed. In other words a naked chart. Will explain later the charts and concepts...trades.. in these 3 charts that are in these two posts (#1341 and #1352). So...

ok here is the 2 min chart. Which candle has your entry and which your SL? you can reply by just stating the time of the candles.

Can you specify the time of the candle on my 5 min charts? Not sure which one you are talking about on my chart.

Here are a couple of trades I took this morning. I want to show them from the perspective of 24 hour chart 5 min chart and RTH's 5 min chart. I am posting them here but will explain later as I am missing out on more trades with all this typing and annotation. I type slow and it takes me a while...

Well good. Glad it worked.

Just eyeballing it and watching what I call the dynamics. That is, not just the size of the bars, their reach, and direction (bull bars I view as the bulls in control on that bar. Bear bars the bears won the bar) but more importantly "how" they make the price which they make. The speed and...

Yes. it was a typo. J.M. Hurst

I am a believer in volume. That is what my handle stands for Vol (volume) Pri (price) VOLPRI! I just found that for scalping 1 to 8 points in the ES I don't really need to look at volume (most of the time) to make a decision. The range of a bar it's open, it's close, its spatial relationship to...

A word about grabbing profits: LOL Perhaps I have not explained things clear enough. I mean I grab them as the market gives them to me and enter again if price volatility continues to give me reasons to do so. Zeitgeist "par excellence" in "times" of volatility whether on one bar, or many bars...

I suppose I didn't explain clear enough. I mean't grab them as the market gives them to me and enter again if price volatility continues to give me reasons to do so. Zeitgeist "par excellence" in "times" of volatility whether on one bar or many bars. LOL. No reason to let volatility go to waste...

Good luck. I used Sierra for quite awhile. Then just simply, over time, got away from them. The fiasco with TT routing in Feb was enough to keep me from signing back up. But now I hear Sierra is working on their own direct routing to CME so I am getting things ready to go back to Sierra. I did...

I have in the past but find it takes up a lot of my time and I am already spending a lot making this journal. You are free to ask any questions here. I just don't want to drift too far off topic. If I want to answer them I will, but if not, I won't. I just can't get into long discussions over...

Well thank you! You must be a person that sees things like I do. I know short and sweet and concise is often times good and necessary but often I had rather just have some meat to chew on and think about. Whatever, meat I attempt to dish out in this journal ..well...a trader can just throw it to...

You are forgiven but I did not advise it, remember that! My rule stands SIM ONLY!

I am just showing how I trade. It took me a long time to figure this stuff out. Here is to hoping it is indeed useful. The catch is that a trader has to practice the concepts, over and over, to learn them well and to see if this style of trading fits their personality, their lifestyle, and their...

The phenomena of disappearing profits: Even scaling up as price moves in ones favor i.e. adding to a winning position is a hard row to hoe, if one is scalping. Why, because often a scalper will see a profit on both entries, refuse to take it, thinking the move will continue, but instead it pops...
