    Techniques for Day Trading the ES, NQ, YM, MES, MNQ, and MYM

    The myth of letting your winners run

    Make it happen Eastwood. Show charts too. That would be great. For years I lived in Honduras. Now back and forth. Many friends there. Believe it or not I introduced okra and butterbeans to the country back in the 80’s. I don’t think they had ever heard of either before then. Now okra is quite...

    The myth of letting your winners run

    Hershey I heard passed away. I think Sprout and Gaussian may be students of his? One thing about Hershey I never saw him try to charge anything, or sell a course. I did look at some of his ideas but they just didn’t fit, for myself anyway.

    The myth of letting your winners run

    If trading was simple we would all be very rich. Where are the turtle traders now? How many times did the belly up? It would be nice Eastwood if you would take some trades Like a month's worth on “simple” and post your charts showing the entries and exits. Even Doc Holidays draw while fast...

    The myth of letting your winners run

    Thanks! PA is price action regardless of the TF. I have on occasion fine tuned some 5 minute entries on a 1 minute chart and I suppose a younger, quicker person, could probably do it much better than I. But the PA is just too fast for me to trade off a one min chart. I have to “see” Patterns...

    How is retail day trading anything but a gamble?

    Oh mickey! Cumulatively monthly bars make sense. Ok. Agreed. Now dial down. Cumulatively weekly bars make sense? Agreed. Let’s go lower Cumulatively daily bars make sense? Maybe but questionable per Mickey. But why not step down some more. Cumulatively hourly bars make sense. Let’s get a little...

    How is retail day trading anything but a gamble?

    Let us not forget he also went broke and bankrupt 4 times “holding”. He was at his best short-term trading scalping the bucket shops. Reading the tape. The short-term “moment by moment” changes in price. The problem was he was cleaning house everywhere he went at those bucket shops and they...

    Techniques for Day Trading the ES, NQ, YM, MES, MNQ, and MYM

    Working in the garden bit stopped to eat breakfast and took a few trades. While my favorite trading is with ES and MES, what I am showing in this journal, works with the NQ and micro NQ. So over the next few days I will trade the micro NQ with small size so small account traders can see you...

    How is retail day trading anything but a gamble?

    LOL well wash that pig good. There is aways a reason for anything that happens. Something caused it. You may not know what caused but something did. And it will always show up on the chart. 99% of the time if price moves 1 tick an institution caused it. You may not know why they caused it but...

    Techniques for Day Trading the ES, NQ, YM, MES, MNQ, and MYM

    Indicators to some degree gauge current pressures and may or may not have much predictive value. Price patterns (such as wedges..triangles...flags) develop BECAUSE OF the pressures. They can have some predictive value. For instance, in a strong bull trend a PB is caused by two things. Profit...

    poorloser's journal and journey (to success?)

    Just remember in your search for high probability trades the reward will generally be smaller because by virtue of waiting for the high probability setup that has confirmation. By then much of the move has already happened hence less reward left to capture. But on the positive side high...

    CAD/CHF - Ascending channel on the 4H chart

    Yes, odds at least (60%) favor a successful BO south. In a bear trend a bull channel can be viewed as bear flag with continuation of the bear trend as the likely outcome. The least likely event is a BO north (40%). These things said it can break either way. If it breaks north (least likely...

    The myth of letting your winners run

    Just decided it was just plain and simple too hot for gardening so will rest and later today go back out there. So I might trade a little. I don't like averaging down in the last hour. So we will see. May just take a few straight scalps. So far all my trades been on the long side today.
