I figured I'd post some trades once in a while.
I've been thinking of doing the combine. But, I didn't like the idea of having to trade there while live trading also. It's hard enough for me to login to multiple broker platforms to execute trades.
My favorite instruments to trade are #1 6E. With ES going up and up... for me it gets boring waiting on price as it climbs slowly. In my opinion 6E has better price swings. Sometimes I like trading ZB also.
As for my style: I have a few automated ones. I use some TA, not in it's traditional sense. Years ago, I figured that if most people that use TA lose money, then maybe there is some information there. My degree was in psychology so I place a lot of emphasis on market psychology. I like to find the emotion, so to speak. I also place quite a bit of emphasis on intermarket analysis. As for news, I don't pay much attention, except for big announcements such as Fed minutes or unemployment.
Lastly, I'm not here to argue with anyone. So, I am likely to ignore any semantic arguments. It's my belief that there are technically an infinite amount of ways to make money in the markets. Choose what works and improve on it.
Currently, I'm flat. I'm waiting to see what DX is doing. I'd like to see it sell off more. But, if it starts to level off with low volume then I will be looking for buying on volume increase with little movement (bargain buying). Then I might test a bit of 6E short. I'm expecting the catalyst to come on Thursday announcement, regardless of what is released. Let's see what price does in the meantime.
