volpri, Are you rich from day trading price action?

Okay. I'll bite. If you discovered something which works and which isn't public or common (book) knowledge - why share it publicly on a board?

Voila. :) Main bias for the day exploited here, so probably done playing unless we get a deep pullback in the afternoon as the LOD should be in. Could be your lucky week. :) If the Week Low was put in today, I'd say we're looking at 4550 or more by week end. In fact, I'll say that's in...

Thanks for those suggestions re: trend lines. I'll add it to my research folder. I don't really put a lot of stock into trend lines to be honest, but I do like to draw them in on my daily charts whenever I can in case I can see something I won't without. Fact of the matter is that the market...

Wouldn't that depend entirely on the stop size/risk? Big difference between 5 medium size losses and 5 small losses, IMO. With day trading, it's generally hard to achieve those higher R/R ratios, though. It becomes easier with swing trading as the moves generally are much larger and you can...

Would that be season 6 or 7? I thought the first seasons were really good, but at a point it started declining and season 6 was complete garbage to the point where it seemed like a parody of the first seasons. I never finished it. Had some hopes with Axe being back for the last season, but...

Accomplishing a 90 % win rate is easy. Just use a 50 point stop and a 1 tick profit target. :) A 90 % win rate with a positive R/R - now that would be very impressive indeed and I'm sure only very, very few if anyone can do that consistently. If your R/R is 1:2 you can still do well with a 50...

Here are my daily and weekly SPX charts. I don't use this for any predictive purposes, but I like it for a big picture view of where the market's been, where it's at and where it might be going. ES completely filled a gap from the 11th of July this Friday. SPX not quite, but might be close...

I understand. The one software that comes to mind then which I don't believe was mentioned yet would be MultiCharts. I know a guy or two who's a happy customer, but I don't have any experience with it myself. LinnSoft Investor RT also seems like a very interesting software, particularly with...

To be honest, I would consider pursuing swing trading instead if you're not too deep in or attached to the idea of day trading yet. Or maybe consider day trading stocks instead of futures. If you think rationally about it considering the time both speant learning it and the time spent actually...

I never understood the need to ignore other posters - much less publicly announce it. I just scroll by or ignore by moving on. After way too many years on this board my ignore list is still empty, but I've understood there's many who are ignoring me. Each to their own. Anyway, you're doing it...

Academia and trading are vastly different fields. I would have imagined you had noticed that by now. Generally, as a rule of thumb, those who have something of value in their hands on ET generally keep it close to their chest. Understandably so. And those who may not, enjoy 'teaching' and...

MidKnight, You seem to have tried various software with mixed results. Curious - did you ever try NinjaTrader? I've torn my hair out multiple times over NT and often find that it seems like a platform developed exclusively by software engineers, not traders. There's tons of unresolved user...

Good morning, Sekiyo, I'm sorry to see you fail your evaluation program, but fortunately it was not a big monetary loss. Since you have a public journal, I assume you're okay with some comments. 1) $5000 is way too big a loss for your account size for any given day. This leads me to think that...

Easy come - easy go. Should close below 4510 today. Looks like 4485 before the Close.

The answer to this question (and others) will be found through studies, testing and research of your chosen market, not random answers from random people online who may or may not have a clue about what they're talking about. If you're trading the larger swings of the day, you can choose to...

4473. If not today - later this week.

How generous to be offering us a money printer for a small sum of money. These type of offers have helped me restore my faith in the human race... :)

Darrel Martin of Apex claims to have withdrawn $300K just from one funding company before he decided to start one of his own. Curious how many here actually believe this? I'm done believing a long time ago, so I call BULLSHITE on this claim. I would be surprised if this guy was even able to...

Okay. Thanks. I wouldn't say that's a substantial sum of money, though - especially if it's over multiple withdrawals. @Sekiyo have an ambitious goal of withdrawing $410K from Apex. I'm very skeptical if they would allow users to withdraw that kind of money and my take is that they would...
