ES Journal - 2021/2022

[SPX Options Trader]

So saying "journals are a curse"....
There is no luck my friend. Good or bad.
Only skill.

Perhaps, so.
Feeble minds are the one's who are obsessed with luck. Professional people believe in only skill.

But I'm just saying....BlueWaterSailor journal sucks/or is/was losing, JohnnyRock, Overnight, Padutrader, Buy3Sell4, Topsy Turvey Tarzan, perhaps even Desterirooro/Churro. All dem journals are rather completely lackluster. or partially call it simply bad luck.

ES or MES?

I only trade full contracts. Micro contracts can’t even afford chicken nuggets.

So the next obvious question is... "who cares?"
Right?
I mean really. Who gives af?

It's kinda like golf.... you have to play your own game. And its EXACTLY like golf from the perspective of the game is 90% in your head.

Now.... I ask again.... why do you give af about other folks' journals? I don't click on the ones you mentioned, but to D's credit... at least he throws it out there. That said, to the best of my recollection... you have not made one market directional call, nor a stock specific call in the short time you've been here.

So.
Whatever.

Unless you post your continual wins and failures, your opine on other folks' successes or failures is moot. You simply cannot claim what you claim without posting your own progress.

Whether they are lackluster or not is not the focal point. The focal point is that they are THERE.

Post your own REAL MONEY journal, and join the club!

 

[Laissez Faire]

There is no luck my friend. Good or bad.
Only skill.

Respectfully, I disagree. However, I note that it's common to consider one being skillful when things go the right way and blame bad luck when things go sour.

There's plenty of good and bad luck (randomness) both in trading and in life, but obviously you can't build a strategy on luck alone. In the long run you're dead.

 

[Laissez Faire]

You simply cannot claim what you claim without posting your own progress.

He won't. Because that will destroy the image he's built (or trying to build) of himself as someone who's wildly successful and is better than everyone else. That one bad call or even two in a row will do a lot to tarnish that.

Some possible support this morning for ES right here. We'll see what happens:

 

[Laissez Faire]

Two Inside Days in a row.

Barring a bigger drop by tomorrow's Open - tomorrow should trade above 4450 and close positive net. Could possibly be a biggie, but let's not get ahead of ourselves.

Turned out to be a bigger drop, so void this call.

The last few Tuesdays opening gap down have been rather bearish. Flat and watching now. Feels late to enter the short side and too soon to pick a bottom.

Open gap here @ 84, though.

 

[Laissez Faire]

With Powell testifying soon, I imagine this might swing both ways by EOD.

 

[formikatrading]

We got some short-term support at that one level I mentioned but it just bounced and crashed.
