ES Journal - 2013

Quote from RichardRimes:

for 10 fning years SPX/ES went basically no where with heart stopping draw downs and some 50 pt upswings in the pre market that ruined many a decent trader...take a look at 1999-2009 before you make such an inane comment. The problem with the draw downs is you run out of margin if your trading ES and are quickly bankrupt before you have a chance to even add liquidity. The SPY is a much better dollar cost averaging up instrument because you are paid dividends to off set the long periods of doing nothing. ES is trad able...period

uvol dvol could be the trend day noon pullback or dsitribution...dvol is not flatlining like a normal trend day

Quote from hitchslap:

ES is perfect for cost-averaging, long only trading! Guaranteed help from the FED too!
We'll continue on upwards for as long as any of us on this board are alive. Mad to go short, but stubbornness is a powerful emotion

This totally ignores the concept of different timeframes. This strategy can go for 10 years and not make a penny of return.

Little Red Riding Hood took off her clothes and got into bed. She was greatly amazed to see how her grandmother looked in her nightclothes, and said to her, "Grandmother, what big arms you have!"

"All the better to hug you with, my dear."

"Grandmother, what big legs you have!"

"All the better to run with, my child."

"Grandmother, what big ears you have!"

"All the better to hear with, my child."

"Grandmother, what big eyes you have!"

"All the better to see with, my child."

"Grandmother, what big teeth you have got!"

"All the better to eat you up with."

And, saying these words, this wicked wolf fell upon Little Red Riding Hood, and ate her all up.

Quote from ammo:

would work for awhile then kaboom,don't run that risk in this style of trading,there are no kabooms to the upside as long as the us and every other developed nation is (whisper..bankrupt)..meanwhile the uvol over dvol ratio just slipped under 4/1, lowest today

More traders got killed predicting bear markets than bear markets killing traders.

You might be referring to speed, because frankly, this upside has been on going for over 4 years now.

If 666 to 1700 is not a sign of Kaboom, what is it ?

LOL. So true. They won't hear it though. You're howling into the moon.
