Definitely technical on my charts - 1420 R level.....matched with a similarly strong R level on NQ.

Agree with Gnome - a solid buy

Anson Yes that is a good plan. I usually wait longer myself - but got suckered in last week when I was bored and upgraded my laptop to try it first!

Friday's intraday data is finally back.......... BTW - anybody who uses Fibs in their trading don't upgrade to R10 yet - because fib retraces and extensions disappear when moving between timeframes. So I've installed R8 back over R10 and its fine.

Latest from Esignal "We are in the process of restoring our db's from a master that successfully stored all the data today. Should be OK by Sunday a.m. (PT). Sorry for the inconvenience." :(

"Due to a severe set of technical issues, we have turned off the storage of bid/ask data on our domestic tick servers. " What a bitch :mad: Not use to trading off Daily charts with open positions! Jessop

DM I split my time between ES & NQ these days. I've moved up to hourly charts for main entries/stops/exits and use Daily & Weekly a lot more than I ever did. My golf handicap is improving with the move to position trades! Happy Trading Jessop

Another day when Esignal is not loading/displaying NQ #F daily views. The other big futures are ok - it seems to always be NQ is the problem. No Daily/Weekly views & no daily + MAs. Is this just me or are other people getting this. :mad: Jessop

2 years ago I was a Fib sceptic…..but I kept seeing tests of key R&S levels that I couldn’t fathom with my analysis tools. So over time I have seen their potential, back-tested the high reward zones/levels and have now added them to my trading plan as key reference points to be traded...

I've been sorely tempted by the ER2 in the past - but now I value much more the truly great symmetry the ES has :D

Try John Murphy's Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets for a basic start point, followed by Mark Douglas Trading in the Zone & then the Brett Steenbarger books.

382 means something to me - but this was backed up by two separate 'confluence' reasons to go Long in the ES

Sweet :D

A great advert for the ER2 is a day like today when compared to ES/NQ/YM - several good entries from 811.60, 813 & then 815.5.

Sounds like the ramblings of a Meth user ...

Rasl, I think this is a stage most people go through. I certainly went through 12 months of counter trend reversal trading all the time. It worked ok on range days - but I got flayed alive on trend days. I'm now sticking with the trend via tests of key R & S levels - I still play...

To work on my exits – specifically - To ride ALL winning trades to either predefined R/S based targets or predefined R/S based stops.

I changed my instrument this year too - from ER2 to NQ....and moved up to 10min TF from 3min. I learnt the tide/wave/ripple lesson....now I'm just trading for the primary 1-3 day swings evident in the futures.....not 2-3min ripple scalps. My biggest weakness is controlling my reversal bias...

I have to say that adding certain Value Area plays in to my existing intraday signals has improved my trading success rate & overall confidence in getting on the right side of the market, more often than not. Cheers J

Indeed...... I used to trade the ER2 but have recently moved down to NQ because: 1) my edge works better in the NQ and 2) my edge in ER2 didn't compensate for my variable discipline. If not always on your 'A' game it will chew up your stops. I feel much happier with the NQ and find it...
