Quote from Thanagar:

emg, what usually motivates your switch to beans and cattle?

its not a motivate. this is the high demand trading season in the grain and cattles. from May - nov.

therefore, will not be day trading much in the es.

Quote from Bootsie:

What about "if 1115 then 1150..."

What happened here?

Was 1113 to 1147.5 not close enough for you ?

The call was worth what you paid for it.

Are you getting these numbers from a hex chart? Great work btw!

Quote from austinp:

Maybe those results are

Those were very good, I was just curious why you didn't take a high probability trade with an 8-10 pts pay off...

Vol, these guys are harsh!



Question for emg: Do you trade cattle/beans similar to your ES strategy (counter-trend)?

for the intraday trades which are profiled there, I look for confirming signals on smaller charts than 5min timeframe. The 5min chart posted earlier is my roadmap filter... trading around and between the technical levels is fine-tuned inside smaller charts.

No swing trades today, quit working CL down -10 cents after getting slapped every which way around the $72 mark. That symbol will smooth out once June contract is dead. Shifted attention to TF instead, worked out well there to the short side also.

ES gave another sell sequence near 1136+ to 1130+ swing low and then down to current lows. If I hadn't made the daily +5pts from higher, would have simply caught it lower and booked out just the same. Volatility and normal price ranges are a most welcome relief

My apologies... I thought you were changing your tune half way through the song.

Good trading to you....
