ES Journal Archive (2006 - 2008)

Quote from MandelbrotSet:

Well, that approach might work if the only market you know how to trade is the ES, but if you're trading multiple markets it becomes much more difficult.

But hey, if you need help with your trading and need someone to make live calls, you should follow closely what B1S2 posts, but don't necesarly do what he does.

Evidently you missed my point.

It's not my journal. So if you choose to make paper trades, and B1S2 wants that in his journal, then I'm not going to question it.

For now, I got you down as a paper trader. Let me know when you make a real trade. LOL.

I am looking at histo on 5m & <, looks like they point to a possible bounce/reversal of this current down move, well 5m not quite there, but looking that way.

But I will hold small short for now, based on 10m histo

Quote from JSSPMK:

Now please post a chart of what you saw, TY!

Not that it's going to do any good, but here you go.

Quote from JSSPMK:

I think what is key is when people post information which may be beneficial to someone else, even if they do it later to explain a trade

Exactly. Information/principles can be tested; but who knows whether or not the "trades" posted here are for real. Indeed, who really cares?

Quote from OldTrader:

OK, I closed out half my position at 1358.75 for about 12 points. Holding the other half for now.

OldTrader

Ok, I'm closing the other half of my short ES at 1352.50. A little over 18 points on that half.

Quote from OldTrader:

I thought that 1370 was going to be a little tight, and right around the resistance.

OldTrader

Yes, I thought that the stop was a bit close on that trade as well, although he didn't get hurt too badly with just the 3 point maX daily loss. Good capital management there---

... and you missed mine and JSSPMK's.

For now I've got you down as a trader who needs help with his trades, let me know when you graduate to the level where you can take responsibility for your own, LOL.

Yes, I see a bullish wedge

Quote from iloveoptions:

...I have orders sitting at 1351 GTC to go long perhaps as early as Sunday night.

I sold my puts (except one) that I've been accumulating from yesterday...

Filled at 1351, and sold my last put from last week for 52.75 . Stop is sitting at 1331 (for now).

I am,and have always been, acutely aware that many of the trades posted here are paper trades. What I am looking for are real time trades with real time stops and exits. This is how you improve and give the journal honesty and strength.
