Interesting. Seems like this company is more into training and topstep wants to recruit traders who can already get the job done. Or at least that is how each is promoting itself. As for the topstep 5 day challenge that is now being offered, that looks like fun, but that's not going to...

Interesting thought, but what are the chances that a Chinese student would actually qualify for the funding, even if he passed the combine and other trials. I'm considering a combine myself, but my ultimate goal would be getting funded, not just testing myself or getting an education. I'm an...

OK that post sucked. I meant a penetration of the band. My entry was one part on the penetration and one part on the completion of the bar. It's 2 points these days on stop and target, and don't buy any lows or sell any tops.

Just a thought....I have followed this thread for at least a year and it's fun. Lots of characters here. I never look at it while I'm trading, but sometimes I look back to see what happened. I trade off the ES one minute chart and while I won't give away my 95% method (lol), i can say that...

I will be bold enough to play the devil's advocate and take the opposite side of this and firmly say, "NO." lol

Well...we are still traders here. I had a little set back due to a family emergency, but time heals all wounds and we will all recover (most of us, at least). I know better than to trade when under stress, pressure, duress or anything not conducive to a pure, calm, unbiased position. It...

If you are a trader still playing the lotto, you should just go ahead and shoot yourself...lencho.

I only take PERFECT setups and for some strange reason I'm only right about 70% of the time. I agree with all that say there is not a perfect indicator, or even a combo of well-filtered indicators. That includes price/volume studies as well. All you can do is to search for the holy grail and...

Indicators are definitely 100% accurate. They do exactly as they are told and process info exactly as they should. But they are not 100% profitable. That's where the human factor comes in and, hopefully, always will....lencho.

Thanks Romik for posting and keeping it honest. Most here just post their wins and totally fudge on entries and exits or play it after the fact. Seems like a total ego thing at times. I see tomorrow as a small day up if it breaks 1442 on the cash. After that open, I will play it as it comes...

Close your shorts, clear your mind, look at the charts, and think about it. You can always short after the next push up or if you are looking to go long, wait for 1442 cash. Hope it works out for ya...lencho.

correction...thats +1.25 on day...still not much better....lencho.

cover at 60.50 for 1.00 loss....net .75 for the day...I'm done.

Still short the ES. It touched my buy order at 57.25, then reversed. That kind of sucked. Still have a slightly bearish bias here, but mostly just hoping. If I wasn't in the green on the trade, I would scratch it...lencho.

Short at 1459.50

Getting short signals now on the ES, but I just cannot sell into this support at 56. Think i will just have a burrito and a nap...lencho.

Wanted to short around 60, but thought it might be out of revenge...and Bush has me a little nervous...oh well..there will be more chances today...lencho.

sold 1459.50...+2.25....now flat

long 1457.25

Here's one of my trades from a while back. It's one of my favorite plays. Basically an oversold or overbought move against the trend. It works everytime, except when it doesn't...lencho.
