ES Journal - 2014

The absolute last thing in this profession you want to be is someone else' liquidity.

It's profitable, scalable, and provides a valuable function to The Market, to stabilize the overshoots caused by price chasers.

But who knows, maybe some day I'll be able to move up to Trading Educator :eek:

The absolute last thing in this profession you want to be is someone else' liquidity. Everyone buying today's high-volume downtrend was on the wrong side, and they literally transferred money out of their accounts into the accounts of traders who were selling into a high-volume decline.

Post-It note for everyone's computer screen: "I will buy rising tapes and sell falling tapes with confidence. I will cut losses short and I will let profits run"

Get good at that, and the ES (or any other market) will become your own personal ATM machine.

Too bad nobody rings a bell to let us know when 6% range days are unfolding... only visible in hindsight. I covered ES shorts at 1755 before noon. My first trade was long and stopped out for -1.5 points but from then on, the short side was the only side to be on.

that's a great result today if your trading 2-3 contracts, everyone makes out big using price action on these trend days,
 
Covering my paper short from about 1761 at 1742.50
+18.50
drawdown=87pts more or less
let's see who gets the worst drawdown between me and pinkman :)
