Thanks Anek for everything. Anyone who reads this, this thread is no BS, this shit works. If you were to focus just on this thread and add up serious amounts of screentime (most important), you should be able to take money out of the market. But don't expect it to happen overnight. 6-12...

The second part of my post should have quotes around it, as that was from Kid's post. I have started realizing, there is a point in a trade where it can get to a point of diminishing returns. As you say, past a certain high probablility point. Do I want to risk the 10 points I am in the...

Kid, Couldn't agree more. A couple weeks ago i had a stretch of 12 out of 13 winning days. During that period my winning percentage was around 38%, but my avg. win/loss was about 2.7. I made on avg. about 11 points a day, a very respectable amount in my opinion. So, a lower winning...

I've pretty much taken same trades you did today on NQ. Just got stopped for b/e on my short also. Might take the rest of the day off.

I've had some discomfort in my hands before from using a mouse too much, nothing like tingling. My only advice to alleviate it is to cut back as much as possible on the use. It will go away. I know this is hard, but that's the only thing that will really work. I think that also make wrist...

That's a genuine big body. Nothing wrong with that. Bet she's real comfortable inside.

Too many big guys pushing the market their way. That sounds like an advantage not a disadvantage. Find out which way the big guys are pushing the market, and join them (i.e. trading with the trend). It's as simple as that, but not as easy as that. Learn to trade with the big guys (with the...

I am a big proponet of the Fair Tax. I know the Fair Tax is not linked to spending, they are separate. But I agree that budget control is a first priority. Until this is done it makes no sense to talk about changing the tax code(which I believe is one of the most obnoxious things created by...

osho, I hear ya. Most days I am fine, but some days I have the same issues you talk about. Wouldn't you know those are the days I do the worst. Here is my suggestion, before you decide to switch it up. It may or may not work for you, but I am going to do the same thing. Trade from 9:30...

edpolton, I think this is a very good question that I have wondered myself. I just recently put up a time based chart with the volume chart. I draw trend lines on both. I haven't studied it closely yet, but my thinking is a lot of people look at time based charts only and some people...

Price will not neccessarily go up if traders are buying at the ask. This is something to look for at turning points in the market. Yesterday at market open there were a lot of large orders coming in at the asking price and above, but the market did not move upwards, instead in backed off...

Looks like a failure. I wonder if we will test yesterday's lows.

Yeah, looks like the market is taking it's lunch break.

DB confirmed. Watching for down ward trend line to break. EDIT: Down trendline broken. Probablilies say higher.

Touche. :)

I have a mental block on days like these. They are rare, so it is hard to think that the momentum can stay strong upward.

Nice me too. +6 Left some on the table, but the R/R wasn't there to stay in. EDIT: Wow I was wrong.

Turn your screen upside down. LOL. No really. You may be gravity biased :). You may feel more comfortable shorting because the mind is conditioned for things to fall due to gravity. I think I had this when I first started, but it sounds like you are not new to this. That's the only thing I...

This post is about T&S. I may not know what I am talking about so please correct me if I am wrong. IMO there are two ways to make a trade order, LIMIT (Passive) or MARKET (Aggressive). Most trades I believe are market orders being filled with the orders sitting at the bid or ask. So the...

r, Nice trade. That was the better trade.
