no problem.
ES Journal - 2015
- Thread starter Buy1Sell2
- Start date
Yes, I'm the one that went short from the 2058 and held it to 2018. But you're still painting the wrong picture to the traders of this journal. If I was add trigger happy, I would've added on the way up like I usually do to get a more favorable price, but I didn't. Now why is that??
Also if I'm not mistaken, you announced to this journal that you're selling many of your holdings, and turning bearish when the market the 1400's level, then not a word from you for more than a year. So it is quite apparent that if anyone is putting on a disappearing act, it's definitely not me.

Curious about your style, why dont you take losses?
The point of my rhetorical question to B1S2, is that each trader has his own style of engaging the markets, based on his risk tolerance and business plan. I could've added haphazardly on the way up to 2018, but I didn't because I wanted to add in the 2030's area, which at the time seemed the probable area of pause and reversal. The market failed to trade up there. My risk on the short was within my parameters due to the small size of my initial entry relative to account size.
It's not about the refusal of taking a loss, but because the market is Bi -Polar. Stops aren't frequently used, unless I've accumulated a large size, and the market is going hard against me, then stops are paramount, and will be posted as needed.
I have only 1990 posts in over 12 years, with most posts stating entry and exit. I don't find the need to post in the thousands just to prove to anyone what works for me. My journal record does all the talking.

I do take losses.
The OP has certain expectations for the material posted to his journal, and though I now I have him on "Ignore," and I do not know what he has posted since putting him there, I do know that in the past, and from what I gather from the posts others have made here recently, that he has expressed (and continues to do so) his disapproval and frustration with those who do not stick to the journal's expectations as he has defined them. I see nothing wrong with that. And if someone does not want to adhere to the OP's rules of content, then one should simply start a journal of his or her own and post as one wishes. Simple solution, one would assume.
However ...
The wonder of it all is why does Buy1Sell2 insist on disrespecting the journals of so many others by imposing his views on others' journals? If someone has a journal where he or she is looking at trading using trend lines, why be a douche by posting about what your indicators are doing?
This journal is titled "ES Journal," and the OP has invited anyone to participate so long as trades are posted in real time, with a stop loss, and so long as the trade does not rely on averaging down. Its his journal. People should respect his conditions, and if someone cannot do so, then one should start one's own journal.
But by his own hypocrisy, Buy1Sell2 undermines his own claims to ownership of his own journal. He cannot expect to have others abide by his wishes here while at the same time he has launched a free for all assault on many of the SLA approach journals here at ET.
What one sows ...

Text posts easily passed over. I don't understand put anyone on 'ignore' like ostrich with head buried...eek don't want to see that!!
'ES Journal' is not b1s2 personal journal. For any trader of emini, regardless of method.
ESJournal -2015 transcend any one person and methodology. ES Journal is generic.
I welcome all to place their trade here.

Buy1Sell2 has been the regular OP of the ES Journals from what I recall. You are assuming it is generic, but you assume all of ET is generic as you too like to shit in others work. You are free to start your own journal, but like a few others you'd rather trash the work of other people here at ET.
This could be easily solved, of course. ET's owners/moderators ought to give OP's the power to "mute" individual ET members from posting to their journals. The only forum section where this needs to be made available is the journal section, as the character of a journal is not the same as the character of "discussion" threads. Those with inferiority complexes like to bolster their egos by intruding in the personal journey's of others should be held in check. If the ET staff won't do it, then they ought to convey that power to journal OP's.
