Flash, sorry man to blow your cover, but you're showing us repeated buys at exact bottoms and repeated sells at exact tops. Nobody, not even god, can do that repeatedly. But do continue, you're entertaining as hell. Have you thought about show business?
I guess the reason you were cutting your grass is now explained, huh.

Jackflash, thank you for the blotters, on ET multiple great stock traders have argued futures market is too efficient to find an edge, so it's truly inspiring to see what an ES trader can do.
I have a few questions about your style, hope you wouldn't mind sharing your thoughts.
1. I know this week is heaven for ES traders, but what about the recent history of low VIX? what do you you do differently when the volatility was low? Do you trade larger size or smaller? Do you take very small profit sometimes like 3 ticks?
2. I find your position sizing very interesting. Do you start small to build up a cursion? By what time of the day do you typically start throwing 25s? like 10AM EST?
3. Without revealing too much, could you comment on your general principle of profit taking. From your chart, I find you don't seem to hold each trade very long, but re-enter in the same direction. do you exit when you feel the momentum is gone?
4. Do you end up in green every trading day?

i been outed?? i dont see that at all pie...granted im pretty fair at puttin on the rt but exact tops and bottoms? i aint all that good at am i? (oh...and its always proper to spell God with a capital G...just sayin)
i looked back some and i dont get what ur sayin...i did hit a few tops/bottoms...but not repeatedly...?? sometimes im off a little and i have to throw at it a few times... the retrace i hit pretty often but as ive said...each market has its own personality and it does the same thing over and over...oh its a little different maybe from day to day because of the different players in and out of the market...but once the expansion starts it doesnt take all that long to pick up on...maybe u should go back and re-analyze huh? dont get me wrong...im good alright...but i mean really...u go fine tune that sense of smell of yours and come back here with some real stink!!...not a little dab of tobacco smoke eh? look...i posted my platform screen shots so i could separate from all the jerkoff wannabes on et...go figure...but im not going to post forever so...just go along with me...or... bring on the stink - gotta have that stink - yea - bring on the stink...(bring on the funk song? ...whatever)
thanks for the complement... (but i also dont get the grass cutting thing...??) wait!! have you been talking to my ex?? she told you about open mike at the best western? and i tried to borrow money from her so i could get out of this trailer? yikes
Homey,
You did this with a demo account. Down where is says "jerry_Trader" it would have your account number if this were a live account. You made $85k in pretend money. I use the same platform you're using except it's a live account and mine doesn't say "the1_Trader." It says 652......an actual account number.
