Quote from Rashid_G.:

True.. I have periodically deleted all S&R's from my charts as I invariable fade them (mental bias), getting in front of a freight train, and pay dearly.. S&R's tempt me to get in before reversals.. NQ.. there was 1845, 1855, 1868... etc.. like butter through all of them and then.. 1880 finally stopped it.. You would think from 1825 to 1878 should not happen.. Now this stealth decline which I have bought twice and lost.. Lost on the way up AND down..

Bottom line basic simple moving average would have kept me out of trouble but too much ego...

the ego, it is always in the selfish box, you need to get out of the box

Quote from ammo:

so you are referring to any one of six systems when you marginally explain the es,no offense petty,but your posts and logic are hard to follow, reminds me of a high school math teacher who thought it tedious to explain the basics to us,she was always three theorys ahead,ones which we had not learned yet,i think its pretty common amongst teaching problems

No offence taken.

Things take time to explain. This is my 12th day in here in posting.

Primarily, I am not in here to SHOW how I intra-day trade. I am not here to explain my trading models.

Primarily, I am here to show how many of my guides for the ES work. They offers someone who wants to learn how to understand the larger swings in the ES a smaller learning curve.

This allows me to post larger swing ranges and why.

I understand how to trade via really complicated measures, that is why I can trade successfully trade in simple ones.

I have chosen to share this style because it IS different than what is in here.
 
Back in the '80s, IBM ran an ad campaign called "THINK".
In the '90s, Nike ran an ad campaign called "JUST DO IT!"

Trading is based on these two larger-than-life, albeit useless, hyperboles.

very very fascinating post petty and I enjoy being fascinated.

who would have thought of been simultaneously long and short ES
using multiple accounts and mixed signals all under the larger umbrella of ES swings.

Keep up the hard work petty, I am looking forward to your next post..

Thanks jjf.

I am doing my best to stack some swing logic in here in a timely manner...I like to do it as the market moves...so it may take months...but I will review my posts once a month and tie it all together with actually what the ES ended up doing...

"think and then act"
each component is useless in the absence of the other.

Also, most of my ES [intra-day] trading signals are short. I have found that intra-price action is much more reliable on the short side (based on my techniques). I have been doing this since early 2007. However, my models have changed and become much simpler.

80% of the time I am in a short trade, intra-day only [Swing wise it varies]. I trade intra-day mostly on reversion techniques. This coupled with being short 80% of the time, almost always keeps me out of the market or the right side during huge, fast drops [yeah the markets melt up but differently than drops]. It is just my preference. I trade for others, thus contracts being traded can get up there and this protects capital from "The Unknown". It makes me and them feel all warm and fuzzy.

I trade 6 signals, and I trade those each on the 30m bar, 5m bar and I trade one of them on the 1m bar as well. I do this for various reasons, one being I am concerned in protecting capital and preventing large losses. I don't want to take any portion of capital and have it trading any one signal no matter how reliable it is. Everything is gets evenly spread out and I am heavily bent on letting statistics create my profit curve.

I could care less if I catch huge unexpected gains, I never "ride" out a move...I trade year to year off of ranges that are predetermined by previous ranges...its systematic and it allows me to project profits for me and clients and easily determine maximum losses...this allows me to run a real business from erratic "unpredictable" markets.
