ES Journal - 2014

So Handle, you trade your largest size in the morning, and then taper off as the morning session ends? How many cars will you trade on NQ? I'm interested in looking at it now, since I'm a bit bored with ES, and the NQ seems to offer a slight variation of the same thing. It does seem a bit "jumpier" than ES though, and just wanted an opinion.

It was a joke. Seems like most missed it, or it was just a bad joke. Probably the latter.

I was just trying to say that volume is lol low right now. I haven't traded for a good week and a half.

Actually, I have recently been going short Indexes for past month and half, and all hedged according to my Trading Plan, I started going long in Nov 2008 till found near bottom in Mar 2009, many losses in futures and many gains in options till it stopped going down, got out of the longs in July 2013, but didn't have sell signals till recently, so was waiting.

I am strictly mechanical trader, I know my limits and thinking is not one of them, I can't backtest thinking, so I don't do that when markets are open, when I am not trading, if I found a new pattern and can code it, I will test it.

All my methods are geared on not taking a lose, and not making profits being number one. Two years ago I finally made changes to my long term methods which had been in place for 18 years, I found very low losing percentages in certain add-on signals, so I added them. And this is how I scalp as well. I do extremely well in chop and at extremes and can only see them on one minute bars. I look at other timeframes for trend trades
