Quote from blaster1:

Long 19.5, stop 18.25.

Edit: out 20.75 +1.25

What was the reasoning to take this long ?

I would like to know when you posted how you got filled on the low at 19.50. I find almost 99% of the time i never get a fill unless traded through.

You get some great entries, 1 tick from swing highs and exact lows, would love to see you provide some evidence of these entries.

Mins, I realize its hard to believe I got filled at the low tick, however if you knew what I knew you wouldn't be so surprised

. All I can say is I know the levels on ES that are most likely to get hit and if you're there in advance your chances of getting filled on the bid/offer are virtually guaranteed.

You're kidding vol, aren't you?

Looking at the pattern of his trading he's probably working off of 1 minute (or equivalent) timeframe ... the market bounces around a lot when you're working on that level, hence you can take many trades that appear to be against the dominant trend.

And if there's any question about the validity of the fill, the market traded down to a low of 1418.25, so it's good.

Well he posted his entry first time it hit 19.50. Not even the second time it touched that level but the first time.

I trade from the 1min chart and always aim for great fills but there is no chance in hell i would have been filled when he did.
Just my experience, hope he proves me wrong.

Post a trade blotter and if he is right then my hat's of to the guy.

What have you got Rennicks magic ball or something.

No one knows what the levels are going to be to the exact tick again and again - get real, this is the ES!

Then you don't understand ES.

For the record, the next level I'm looking at is at 16.50.

Maybe i am not on your level of trading

. Like i said post your trade blotter and i will shut up.

My intention is not to falsify your trades, i would simply like some validation. A simple screenshot of your trades is all that is required.
