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

    Well I do analysis live as I trade but I can’t very well post a chart that hasn’t yet come into being now can I? I take my trades and then try to show on a chart once I get snapshots. Hopefully, they will show my reasoning for taking the trade and my reasoning behind my decisions.

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

    I don’t listen to news...report...feds..or any of that stuff. There can be a bullish or a bearish response to any of them. Sometimes on bad news markets can go up and on good news they can go down. The way I look at these matters: Since whatever I need to know will show up in the chart i.e. the...

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

    I don’t remember to the tick but had a hard SL on trades 1&2...around 2978.50 if I remember correctly ...PA SL above that “give up” bar. On trade 3 around 2973. Trade 4 around 2970 but not sure on this one it could have been 2973. Anyway, I use bracket orders and adjust SL and PT as the trade...

    Here is 5 min chart with trades. 4 trades. All shorts. All averaged in but trade #3 which was a straight short of 2 contracts. Followed by a chart with some comments. We get an ORBO that closes the opening gap quickly. This of course is showing weakness since bar closed very near its low tick...

    They are, without a doubt, indicators. But it is generally the only two I use except for an occasional 60 min MA that at times I might throw up on the chart. Everything else is PA. I rarely look at vol but will occasionally throw up some volume bars. I generally can get a feel if volume is...

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

    Lol I said “no indicators BUT two MA’s.” In other words, that IS the only two indicators on my charts. I never mean’t to say they were not indicators. Maybe the way I worded it came across that way. Of course, they are indicators. However, I use them differently. No cross over signals..etc.. I...

    is market random?

    Bingo! Our Taleb disciple in another thread would not answer “what is market activity”. I had asked (don’t remember the exact amount) him what makes a market move 1 tick or 20 tick....etc. He responded “market activity”. I then asked what is market activity. No answer as of yet.

    A message to some day traders.

    I see it totally different. I’ve held stocks long time. It can take a very long time to make money with stocks. Plus as long as you are in the market you are at risk to any black buzzards or tails ..bad luck..good luck..(as the theory goes that is propounded here) so ANYTIME money is in the...

    A message to some day traders.

    Why wouldn’t a stop loss take an index intra day trader out of the market in the event of a black buzzard? I have NEVER had ANY problems getting out on a stoploss in the ES. 99% of the time right where it was placed even in a fast move in seconds like a mini crash. That to me is the advantage of...
