Columbus 5 Day ES Intraday Trading Exploration

Damn the posting is too distracting. I miss the short.

You have to be super fast with this thing. My 2 pt trade is already over in 2 minutes.

 

[martys]

I am gonna shut up for a while.

I can not imagine that posting your trades real time enhances your concentration. You are digging your own grave.
How do you watch times and sales and post on here?
Do you even watch it?

Good Luck!

Bought at 1180.25. Might not hold. I got two sets of things going. I don't know which one works.

 

[martys]

My entry is VERY poor so I give stop a little room at 1176.75

 

[martys]

I might just scalp this one for a point because of the poor entry.

 

[martys]

Filled. +1 pt.

I am in a losing streak so I just want to see some black. Sorry for the disappointment.

 

[martys]

Can two different sets of lines (bullish and bearish) work at the same time? In my experience, they can... as if the market is setting its potential to do two different thing simultaneously. It is just plain weird. I guess there is a 2 pt profit for this trade.

spike,

how do you ID the trend?

Do you use intraday data or daily?

We all talk about trading with the trend but I my opinion it is easier said than done.
