ES Journal - 2014

Models are telling me to trade on short side at 188.88 for today. But "it may not reach it", said my head to myself. It is now 10cents away from 188.88. I am looking for weak stocks with low spread put options.

Edit: now at 188.87.

My models are telling me to strip my shorts, and go long and hard...

beautiful strength. Missed the move so far, unfortunately. Asleep at the wheel.

It's okay to sleep at the wheel just go long wherever n hold, you will come out ahead in the end. It's whether drawdown can trigger liquidation or not.

bored. Long SPY here at 188.50.

Will close if it gives me 50c or so. Otherwise hold for the T day melt up

Looks like you got some serious price improvement! What's your average now?

"Fade the stupidz" might be going stale, time for another optimization :eek:

I don't think he's trading real money because

1. This thread is about making live calls, not posting P/L blotters

2. He said a trader is better if (s)he can go countertrend and not blow up

"Fade the stupidz" appears to be going thru a drawdown. What's the montecarlo estimate of how deep and long this period will last? What could indicate that it's over? Might the vix have something to do with it? Do you think subscribers would buy a subscription service that needs to be reoptimized every month?

From what i've seen of your trading, the market goes where you want it too!
Been keeping an eye on this thread as i'm gonna try my hand at trading NQ (1 contract) soon.
Your live calls have been out-of-this world!
hundreds of ticks profit on multiple days etc. Feel free to share the knowledge
