You have an amazing ability to draw conclusions by filling in information of your own where none was provided by another.

You really have no clue what technical price action analysis is about. You know what’s easy? Putting on a trade when it seems like price has run too high or fallen too low. Trading without a stop and averaging down because price ALWAYS does X. Moving a stop to break even as soon...

I don't have time to educate myself about all the details of the combine, as I'm heading out for the evening shortly. So help me out, please: 1. I recall that three was a 5-lot limit. Is there a daily profit limit or can you rack up as much profit as possible per day as long as you don't...

In all seriousness, if you want to learn to really trade, just ask...plenty of great traders here who will help.

I found the psychology of trading is more important than the method because anyone with access to a good trading book, charts, and a spreadsheet can develop a plan that makes money overall. But can you trade it? As was mentioned, pro trend followers have a pretty low win rate, but the winners...

Do you actually get filled at high/low ticks in ES moves? I can catch fills in the CL at high/low ticks sometimes, but I don't think I've had such luck in the ES.

Next support test for CL with-trend swing traders is 87.50. If that breaks, there's a measured move target off the daily chart around 84.00.

Yes, it's light, and it's sweet, but never forget...it's very, very crude :D

I was talking with my friend today about this program and we think it's a fantastic opportunity for aspiring traders with very limited funds. Kudos to TST :) Really looking forward to seeing what happens when you cross a Mav and a Surf :D

If your trading has generated consistent profits without gimmicks (averaging down, trading without stop, edges that can disappear if too many participants become aware of them, etc.) then you should be able to firm up a business plan based on the amount of income you need to generate to cover...

Brother Surf, you entered a long position in the middle of a normal with-trend pullback. A pullback in a trend tends to continue pulling back until price reaches a key support level. In a nicely defined uptrend, "support" is generally considered to be somewhere in the vicinity of a lower trend...

LMFAO!!! You owe me a new keyboard :p :p

I trade based on all that, too, but rather than try to guess what those factors will cause price to do, I let the price movement itself, as it's being driven, trigger my trade entries.

Seriously, a sentence like that should raise the "biased propaganda" antennae of anyone who completed a basic junior high science class. The study presents a few questions: "There were some reported findings some considered strange, however. Rats that ate the higher percentages of genetically...

The fact you've worked manual labor jobs improves your odds of success, because most likely you aren't supporting the voracious appetite of a massive ego. The most successful novice trader I've ever met (3500% ROI over a couple years) works a minimum wage job. If you're interested in day...

Been short the S&P since the 14th based on a special "woo woo" indicator :p

Those of us who are trading for a living are...trading for a living. One of my friends makes her living teaching, another makes his living doing yard work, another makes her living running a small retail business, another makes his living working at Wal-Mart. What's the difference how you make a...

Brother Surf, I've been working hard for you this morning: My longs in oil have outnumbered my shorts! And I'm stepping away from my desk for a while...that's generally a signal for a very strong move :cool:

LMAO! Some guy in the TopStep combine lost 18K in oil yesterday. I recommended flipping the chart monitor 180 :p
