If you don't mind my asking -- that 4pt short at about 2113 was interesting, where did you have your stop? Thanks.

Anyone care to share charts of how they traded today? I would be interested to see how some of you handled the last hour of RTH and some of the other plays today.

PM session chart. Here are some reasons for the trades, starting with the first in the AM session, and continuing to the PM session: 1) seemed like a 50% pullback from the last HH, was looking at a micro level and missed the real 50% pullback 2) 50% pullback and bounce off TL. Stop...

filled 2093.50 and 2092 short. Stopped out on both at 2093.50 Probably too aggressive moving my stop to BE as usual. BE on 1st, -1.50 on second. Won't be able to stick around for the close, but here are my charts from the Am session and PM session. I need some criticism and advice to...

Hmm, I see. good point. I was planning on taking profits before the PP. Gave myself a 1:1 R/R about, from my entry, stop, target. Seems to me 2093 area we just passed would have been a good long due to two LL, HH, and confluence of two trendlines converging and a S1 pivot. I didn't get...

Thanks. I wasn't sure what the entry criteria were for triangles. I thought it was a break of the the trendline, or even last LH or HL for triangles, but I'm not sure. I believe it is a break of the middle high swing for W's. Could you elaborate on 2102.75 being an entry signal for what...

I kind of saw this as a triangle, so I expected significant momentum breaking out. Doesn't seem to have any what so ever, and the overall trend of the day being obviously down, giving that direction higher probability using this methodology. Might re-evaluate. Original targets were 2102.50...

Efnet! Haven't been on that thing in like 10 years or so... How about a newsgroup too? ;) EDIT: long 2100.50, stop 2097. Doesn't seem to be working too well.

I have no patience. Short from 2091. out at BE again.

Yeah, probably. Re-entered at 2097.25 test of TL looking for bounce. Was careful so out at BE on this one too.

out for BE on that DB + trendline break.

Tough day for me again, but I think I'm slowly learning. Not as fast as some of you though. :) Biggest problem is I get stopped out on noise a LOT. Guess I want to preserve my capital too much. :) Anyway, check out this article at newsweek on the psychology of decision making...

Oh, so THIS is why there is lower volume. YOU'RE not trading. ;)

Still going at it today. I figure more screen time is necessary for me. Missed the first hour of RTH, which looks like some opportunity was there. This down move is confusing me though. :)

Sorry Anek, was just trying to be honest with how I've been doing. Didn't mean to step on toes. I don't want to take up your personal time and you've put so much energy into the journal. All of the information needed is inside, so it is up to me for assimilate it, practice, and learn to use...

Got my ass kicked today. -6.5 points on ES. Didn't do well Friday either. Both days should have been good. I'm been devoting full days to this now, but am having difficulty. Congrats to those who are doing well. Very frustrating for me all in all...

I believe it is $300 if you just use them for charting, and $99 if you are a brokerage client but do not meet the minimum trade requirements. https://www.tradestation.com/fees/subscription_op.shtm Plus about $450 in data feeds (if you are a professional) which they say are "optional" feeds...

Hi, I'm attempting a move from equities to futures and have a couple questions for experienced derivatives traders out there active in the intraday frame. How many points daily do you average? (please tell us what you trade as well, and any comments on how volatility changes your P&L...

Hi, Looking for TradeStation fees, it looks like 10 roundturns of a futures contracts waives the $300 or so monthly fee. 10 roundturns ends upbeing something around $60 or so depending on what contract you are trading. Their brokerage rates look competitive to me. No idea about the...

Price action does not have to be a dogma, or the end all be all of trading. I think any trader worth his salt would keep on pushing forward and testing anything that showed potential... Only makes sense. But then again, I am not worth MY salt, so don't listen to me. Missed out on some...
