Maverick74 and marketsurfer's TopstepTrader Combine (daily trade reports and journal)

I have a fellow trader friend in Florida who trades the ES and his method is so amazingly complex that when he talks about it, I just cannot focus on all the details. Yet he knows it all like the back of his hand.

Fortunately I don't have to trade his method! :)

Quote from NoDoji:

ammo and I were telling each other how to trade each other's methods a while back and I'm sure his eyes were as glazed over when I was describing precision scalping as mine were when he was describing scaling into positions using market profile. My brain was too hard wired in my time frame to deal with the bigger picture and vice versa. That aside, we both trade technically and profitably.
 
Quote from marketsurfer:

Precision scalping combined with the power of TA-- how could you lose?

By spending even a single day in a simulated trading environment in an attempt to prove something to someone, I lose.

Good trading to you guys this week!

plan your trading and trade your planning

Well, maybe half of that today. Persistent internet outages this morning nixed my short attempts from CL 91.80s and .70s blended. So I caught the next sequence lower, blended from 91.46 and out at 90.70 on partial contract-block size.

CL has traded from its open range to measured objective below, 100-cent range. CL did what it is supposed to do. I did half of mine.

If trading real money? Done for the day. Again.

But we're chasing performance from behind pace to qualify... so the story for today continues on :cool:

Hershey and his bots run to these threads like roaches run to crumbs in the kitchen at midnight. They love to critique others' trading without subjecting their own to any sort of objective verification.

Classic cult true believer behavior. Just like the rest of the never lose TA users on elite-- one wanted 50k to cover the "opportunity cost" of the 10 day combine! what jokers!!

For some of us, the balance of our accounts are far more important than proving to some sim trader, who claims to have sold the top and bought the bottom (with a 3hr+ delay), our ability to trade

But not so important that you are willing to waste time constantly posting here...!:D

Like I always say... Let's see you trade...!

posting on downtime is one thing, giving up a day's gain to prove a point is a direct cost (ie. missed revenue)
