ES Indicator Journal

NowIsNow -

Your point is taken, the point of this thread was to keep strictly to my ES trades. I see how it can be a bit confusing to some. I did not get a "sell" indicator call until later in the day, and I did post that ES short at about 914, so it is not like I completely disregarded my ES trade for the day.

I will do my best to keep to just the ES in the future, however there will be times I may post other trades I am in or will need to change my time frame based on unexpected events or news. I am sure you already know about the "stress-test" results being leaked today unexpectedly. That is why I chose to focus on the NQ, to avoid more of the financial exposure the ES and YM have. At about 12pm est today it was pretty obvious the Nasdaq was by far the weakest of the 3 main indices, also another factor in my decision.

Just between you and I, I trade all types of instruments, ES,NQ,YM, Crude Oil (CLM9), Gold (GCM9), Copper, Nat Gas, Equities, basically when I see a good set up I will put capital at risk.

I hope this clears up any of the confusion, and if you feel there is no point of this thread to continue, I am sure there are thousands of other threads to contribute to.

Again, thank you for the comments.

Wow, that's super helpful: a chart with an arrow. I suppose some of the readers here couldn't figure out how to find that price on a chart!

So, how much are you going to sell this indicator for?

The suspense is spinetingling.

It is obvious you are making an effort to fill in the gaps, but it may be more beneficial if you had posted 919 entry in a timely manner...also this scrpt reads upside down....the close before the open,whereby the chart could appear to "fit".

Now, don't you know that's how these magic indicators work? They get you into winning trades after the fact and make losers vanish!

For example, he posted the Exit today from a short yesterday with another Sell at a higher price and miraculously booked it as a winner--but that's what happens when you manipulate trades that never happened.

What price did you cover this at?

Perhaps you decided to ignore a big loser.

These paper trading journals are worthless. This one in particular. It's obvious by the lack of views and participation from other members.

Nice try nadeemrock.
