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

    Here are two LONG 1 point scalps. May be time to explain. We will see. Gotta run. Anyway 3 trades all winners. 8 points captured. No averaging down today in any of these trades. No need to. Plenty of chances to do so in the area I missed trading while typing but I have a one track mind. I...

    I am glad for you that you discovered MA’s are useless. For you, at least. For me, I find them quite useful but I probably use them in a different way than you did.

    Sorry but I have to continue the explanation in a new post as my 60 min limitation ran out for editing the above post. So here we go continuing the explanation: To recap from RTH’s chart. We got 6 bars from the open. 2 are bear bars trying to close the 17.5 point opening gap. 4 are bull bars...

    Here is a trade this morning. I will miss entering back in again for now but I wanted to get this posted and an explanation. This was a 6 point profitable trade. It is a BO trade. Usually on these sort of trades one can exit (locking in profit) then enter again on a Pb below their last exit...

    I am not trading right now. But I was trading "right now" and live when I took those trades. A range had been established and I was using range trading techniques. Upon awaking and look at those 5 bull bars on the open of the RTH's session I simply looked at the 24 hour chart and it was easy to...

    ROFLMAO I was not even watching the market until those 5 bull bars had been made right after RTH's open. I was snoozing...in bed..tired from my travels out of the country. So, I didn't miss any signals. I wasn't trading. I wasn't looking for any signals. I trade the day session not the...

    And here is what took place up to the close. Bears were able to keep any major BO's north from occurring. But there was enough BO's north and south for scalping plus trading several opportunities within the two ranges.

    I don’t remember saying that?? Of course I have losing days? Just not that many. I will do so ....post a losing day when I have one. I don’t trade everyday but I will post a losing day so you can see. I have losing trades and I have losing days. The former more often than the latter. As far as...

    Not sure what you are referring to. Of course I have losses. I just nip them in the bud quickly and reverse if the circumstances are conducive to reversing with a doubled up position. This said, I do have a high win rate. Mostly above 80% and not so often in the 90% range. And of course some...

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

    No in MOST cases I would not keep adding in that scenario (there are a few exceptions). Once I am doubled or triple in I will hold till max loss for the day and just get out if I am wrong again and probably just stop for the day. Why? My judgement is off and probably won’t get better as the day...

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

    That is what I did. I did scale in with more shorts as it moved against me. I thought I had explained that?? First trade I took a short (first red triangle) then covered that short on the same bar (green triangle). Then the next 5 red triangles were all short positions each one adding to a...

    Throw them all way IMO except brooks. He is the top price action trader educator in the entire trading world IMO. That I know of anyways. IMO he can teach all you need to know to trade price action but it will take awhile as he is very detailed and thorough. Of course, he has his critics...

    Also note that price is trading below all three MA's on the RTH's chart when I place my trades. Intermediate trend is down. Those MA's are 20 EMA 50 SMA and 60 EMA dashed line (but plotted on a 5 min chart) Another sign of weakness at least for a while.
