    Ok so don’t listen to those that talk and don’t listen to those that don’t talk (because they know what they are doing while the former don’t). And the reason you can’t listen to those who don’t talk is ...well...because they don’t talk. Conclusion: spend your time on ET ROFLYAO AND indulging...

    I'm having trouble with my trading

    1) With the ES I don’t like to risk more than 5 points per contract and prefer to keep it within 2 points. Nevertheless, i set SL ‘s based on PA to the left. If the logical PA SL is more than 5 points I would seriously consider skipping the trade or waiting for a PB and possible resumption that...

    Uh oh you mean you would just let a Newbie take his/her own course and offer no structure or interference? I mean as a layed back Laissez Faire person you don’t like interference...most likely ...probably..... but a poor lost soul beginner could use some help or they wouldn’t ask. You wouldn’t...

    I'm having trouble with my trading

    Helped perhaps for leadership of men and gals but humility means little for markets imo. It don’t care you are proud..humble..a jerk or meek. Just don’t care. It will empty the pockets of all...rich or poor.

    I'm having trouble with my trading

    Well look at it this way. It is a good thing to structure a trade and plan, but the market knows nothing of my plans or my structure. So, if the market doesn’t go per my plan I have a choice. 1) Adapt my plan to the market or 2) be bull-headed and stick with the plan as in “damn the torpedos...

    I'm having trouble with my trading

    You can also do a measured move up based on on the height of the sideways move at the bottom of the chart. Look to the right at this price level (top of the blue MM) and you will see a small pause in PA as some bull take some profits off the table at this level. The larger black measured moved...

    I'm having trouble with my trading

    Here you can see the measured move up. There was no PA reason to exit before the initial PT was reached. All bull bars....with gaps up to the measured move and no PB until MM was reached. Why exit at top of MM?. Well we got some sideways PA..means profit taking by the bulls. And a quadruple top...

    I'm having trouble with my trading

    I realize everyone has their reasons for entry and exits. I know it is hindsight but but if you will indulge me I will show you how I would trade this PA. There are many things that can be said about this so I may post the chart several times to explain the concepts without trying to cram it all...

    I'm having trouble with my trading

    I don’t agree. There is no conspiracy between institutions and the myriad of successful traders to screw the majority of all the wonderful traders on ET. It is not like they are sitting around saying “uh oh here come the ET’ers. Lets screw them out of their little trading accounts.” Traders...

    I'm having trouble with my trading

    Surely you are kidding. I got married in 1978 to a beautiful, supportive, caring woman. Why would I want to screw that up with hookers and on top of that screw my trading mind up with drugs? I trade futures not wives or other women.

    I'm having trouble with my trading

    The downfall of many traders is the get married to their initial trade structure and resist divorce from it. Then the market forces a divorce followed by chap 7 bankruptcy and ruining of ones credit, reliability, consistency, to oneself. “To thyself be true.” Do this enough and it can result in...

    I'm having trouble with my trading

    I too prefer high probability trades. However a trader has to consider risk/probability/reward from two angles. The INITIAL risk based upon ones preferred risk methodolgy...points...$$$..catastrophic...PA based...etc. Then a trader should consider ACTUAL risk. That is, how much the trade went...

    Arguments for certain profit targets for Intraday trading.

    Yes greater profits with smaller PT because generally smaller PT are hit faster and more often. In addition, after you jump out the market is usually (but not always) going to go back below (except in strong BO) your exit (in bull case) giving you the opportunity to get back in at a lower price...

    I'm having trouble with my trading

    Just remember high probability then you probably have to settle for bigger risk or smaller reward or both. Whereas low probability trades can have smaller risks and much larger rewards if they work out. But when they don’t work out loss is smaller.

    I'm having trouble with my trading

    There are different stop levels. X amount of points. Max amount $ one is willing to risk. Catastrophic SL. SL based on PT desired. Price action SL’s. I prefer PA SL’s. If a trade with a properly placed PA SL is too big of a risk for me then simply best to pass on that trade and wait for another...
