expecting NQ to close flat today while ES 3919
Here are the fills on just the futes that I talked about. Time stamps are there so one can easily figure out the pricepoints. My closing of the shorts was manually set last night at various prices corresponding to hrly chart from the earlier (1pm CT) session. I always scale in and out. As the trades took place, the fill ding sounds woke me up and I thought my stops were hit.
There seemed to be extreme pessimism in the the Euro mkts yet NQ's could not take out 12100 with any conviction. I would expected it to at least test 12000. That's what gave me the direction.
I'll only touch on my "style" as I don't want to fully expose it. All styles need to be constantly evaluated since the mkt will often change enough to negate any system. The key is to know when that change is happeneing so one can again tweek his/her style.
One of my most profitable style is to short a false breakout and long a false breakdown. It's the opposite of what most traders do. Take the NQ for example, I will fade the breakout when it makes a defined high and subsequently breaks below my defined "low"... this is always on a 5min candlestick chart. And vice versa for the breakdown.
The hrly gives me the general direction for the day and offers the key stop levels. I "usually" am not short when it is above the 50ma. Yes, this gives up a lot of the big moves, but do the backtest and see how dangerous this is. Anyhow, thats all I have time for. Good luck to all!

I'll bet you 1,000,000 sim bux that if you fully expose your system to us here, it will neither change a damned thing in the markets, nor your system. YOU ARE JUST NOT THAT IMPORTANT. This way you can touch on more than just your "style".
You sound like Gallagher, going on about "style". Look it up on youtube. Probably his best performance.
I'm not even going to go into how you contradicted yourself by saying the market changes enough to negate any system, so what is the problem, etc.
no way am I going to waste my time and go through your time stamped orders and try and figure out everything by matching up with prices, I bet most feel like me.
It is ironical you say that, because that is exactly what I do in my journal. I do this so if people were to think my trading claims were questionable, they could just look at their own charts at those times to see if that is truly where market was at time of entry and exit.
The difference between mine and this one is I show the actual entry and exit PRICES, which this user is not doing. So we do not know PnL. I may take a look and correlate them in a while, just for fun.
right, my point is that he wants me to go through the work of finding the price myself. waaayyy too much trouble
Open a journal. It bad etiquette to hijack a thread with off topic trading results.
How much is size? Are we talking 6:4 and full of muscles?
