Ladies, Gentlemen, meet Neet - the Machine

Quote from Neet:

I don't ignore the first 15 minutes, I just don't trade it.

However, some traders find real good opportunities during that timeframe. It's just not my style but I do extract info from the timeframe to create some customed indicators, nothing fancy, just personal style.

...

Godspeed.

puretick use first 15m to create a chop zone, above = bullish, inside = chop, etc.. Fisher take the middle of 15m and create line in the sand, above = bullish, you get the idea and yet another one use first 15m to calculate the prem of future from cash. It is good that you did not just 'skip' it as you posted.
 
congrats.

also, no trading here first 20 minutes let others figure out the chaos and watch it unfold until trend begins or range gets it's first tests.

Just remember you have got it but the learning will never end.
 
congrads on the crossover and welcome. But sometimes i too think i have the worm in my beak, ........ but its the wiggling tongue inside the mouth of a snapping turtle.....................
 
Quote from Neet:

I am happy and very honored to report that I think I have finally got it. For the past weeks I have been trading like a beast. Quite frankly, I feel like a machine. Not being arrogant, I'm just overwhelmed.

If it helps here are a few things I've been doing.

- Rarely going against the trend unless Im doing a very quick scalp.

- Scaling out and using trailing stop continously.

- All losses are small.

- Only doing futures and skipping the first 15 min of trading. Personal choice, I agree, but prefer it this way because most indicators are lagging ones.

What can I say, I'm taking the market by the throat, 13 consecutive profitable days. And not just petty cash, but substantial gains.

What can I say, I'm one happy trader.

You might ask yourself. What is the point of this message ? Is it to brag ? To humiliate ?

On the contrary, the message is quite simple. Do not give up !

Once you get it, you will GET it.

Neet the Machine, off!

Congrats for your success, I sincerely hope it's for good. But I think 13 days are still way too small of a sample to be sure.
Thank you for the motivation, and best of luck.
 
Another flawless week for Neet the Machine.

Today was slow and boring although to be expected due to Friday Afternoon (boy wasnt the previous Friday beautiful?) plus option expiration.

Nevertheless, a good pivot play in the morning was more than enough to start the long weekend early. Glad I did because the afternoon consolidation combined with the abysmal volume is not optimal for trading aside from a few scalps here and there. Sad sad daily range which is not what I look forward in daytrading. Either way profit is profit.

Still killing it. Up, Down Horizontally, it's so damn easy now I feel like Neo at the end of the Matrix. Eighteen consecutive days of nothing but green. If I get to 25 I will donate 10% to charity to share the wealth with those in need.

Cheers and good fortune.
 
Congrats Neet! We all hope to be in your position soon!

Could you possibly share more about how you trade? Which futures? Do you mechanically trade systems or all discretionary entries/exits? How do you determine when you exit or scale out?

Thanks for any insights.
