Quote from Buy1Sell2:

Buy stop remains in the 1440's as we speak.

I was going to comment on your stop which is placed well out of the noise, good job.

avarus -- what are your thoughts behind the short @ 1370?
Are you just looking at the pivot?

Im thinking it will fill the gap to 1394 --- after that, who knows?

Quote from smilingsynic:

In your opinion, is the ES choppier than the Dax (I think you trade both, overseas, right?).

Right now fDAX is choppier, ImO that's to do with increased vola. Right now ES trades more like 'normal' fDAX, ImO ES's become a lot less choppy, method I use really benefits from ES a lot better than it's used to in the past, I do trade a lot more ES now than fDAX. Yes, I am overseas

Daytrader does require a good ratio between spread vs average oscillation range ImO.

1370 is just an amplitude extreme area I would look to get short if reached. I play the the linear with breakouts/breakdowns (easy stuff) and the nonlinear. The linear breakouts/breakdowns have a lower win% and will be stopped out often. The nonlinear has a 90% win rate but requires going against the grain at the extremes.

B1S2's approach reminds me of that of Bruce Gould, who wrote two books (at least) and a newsletter back in the 70's and 80's. I bought all of his newsletters for about $30 ten years or so ago, and as an investment, it still pays off.

Potential Wyckoff upthrust AND gap fill at about 50.
