ES E-Mini Daily Trades Signals

Quote from Trvlwanderer:

Ok, so now what?

The target DID NOT get filled.

The stop DID NOT get filled.

What is a new trader looking for signals on an internet message board supposed to do now?

The trade is IN THE RED.

Edit: Damn internet GURU's, always around to post the teaser or make excuses while they post the next one, but never really around when the "client" (sheep / follower / lemming / sucker) has a question or problem.

I guess we will turn this into a "buy and hold" since we are 2.25 points RED.
 
My Signal #1 was triggered to go short at 1178.25 at the open
Target was reached at 10:02 bar for a profit of 2.75.
As usual I deduct 0.25 for partial fill situations. As stated before My criteria is hitting the target and I deduct 0.25 from all trades (win or loss).

Total # of trades = 6
# of wins = 5
Total profit = 11.5 + 2.75 - 0.25 = 14
Total Loss = 5.5
Win rate = 83%
PF = 2.55
 
Trades for Monday 10/25/2010

Please do not trade this signals. Just use it for studying the market if they are useful for that purpose.

Ok, opened at 1178.25 so..............

Use signal 1 : SELL at market open (1178.25), tgt 1175.50, stop at 5.75 points (1184).

We have a risk of 5.75 points.

We have a reward of 2.75 points.

Let's see how this plays out.

Close.....touched the target of 1175.50, but would not have filled.

The target DID not get filled. I posted as it tagged it, but DID not fill. You will not get a buy to cover on the bid knucklhead.

You know it.

This trade is STILL OPEN.

I was hoping you would treat this as a real trade and we could move on, but you are proven to be a FRAUD.

Keep posting. I will.
 
You are a FRAUD.

This was proven in REAL TIME today.

3 little posts today that showed the target did not get filled and you show up after you Burger King shift and claim a successful trade.

You are a FRAUD.

Unfortunately, in the real world, it does not matter a rat's arse whether you 'deduct' a tick for hitting the target....

REALITY....the order was NOT filled...therefore it can only be reasonable to assume you do not trade a real time cash trading account for the signals you provide...

In the real world of trading , where people place their money on the line every day, your notions of trading are simply fantasy...period.

Yes I trade with real money but I have not kept 100% discipline in trading all the signals exactly the way they are. Sometimes I improvise based on market actions. I generally do a bit better than the signals in my real money account, although I do not keep track of the difference.
I keep track of past performance and deduct 1 tick slippage and $5.00 commission per each rt trade, even the losing ones.
Most of the trades don't have any slippage. Trade at open usually has some slippage but occasionally I get a positive slippage as well.
If the price is hit without going through it, I consider it filled. I realize that this is not realistic, however based on the past performance, the sum of the [unused]slippages pay for occasional trade that has a questionable fill.
I found this method to be both realistic and practical. If you have any other suggestions, please let me know.

This is how I stated I evaluate the signals when I started this thread. You can never exactly evaluate a fill. Even two different people who play the same signal may have different fill result. So we have to come up a way to evaluate the performance.

I have been using this method of evaluations for years and I have found it the closest to the real world in long run. I suggested the this method in the above post and asked for other suggestions.
Nobody came forward for any disagreement or other suggestions.
Still if you have any suggestions then use your own method and evaluate them for yourself if you are interested.

-----------------------

This is little confusing to me will you please explain?

for signal #1 if ES opens in this zone what zone will that be?
for signal #1 you have two numbers 1181.25 on the upper left corner and 1175.50 on the bottom left corner.
and finely the pivot levels are refrensed for what? other than what they are pivots.

Thanks for the question.
The upper and lower numbers (in this case 1181.25 and 1175.50) define the zone. In other words, the zone is defines as anything lower than 1181.25 and greater than 1175.50).
The numbers on the right are the pivot levels as you suggested.
The reason I display them next to signals is, in some signals I do not have an exact entry point. In the case of this signal # 1, the entry point is where the market opens on Monday (9:30 Eastern time). The suggested stop is 5, but if you adjust the stop according to pivots, you probably will get a better performance.
If you have any questions how to use the pivots, I will be glad to write a summary for you.

If you have any suggestion as to how to display this information so it is less confusing, please let me know.

Thanks
