1000: No one
(and I mean NO ONE) is interested in you or your thread or what you do think or what you don't think about anyone or anything we are doing here, OR the markets in general.
If you're coming here to drum up hits for your non-existent url keep a try'in, but just to let you know, if people were even remotely interested in you or what you have to say, THEY WOULD ALREADY BE THERE!
Emini: Get it right bro, I'm not your FOLLOWER (and hopefully, neither are these other traders, we are your SUPPORTERS).
I find it refreshing how you've come up with a unique and interesting spin on a very old methodology of trading off the Key Pivot (do the math and look at your historical numbers, they aren't always the same but they tend to be very close), after determining the overall market trend (hopefully by looking at the pivot - or value point/range - over the last several days to see how the market is trending).
The method most definitely will work over time, because it is how the markets quite often do work (there is more to trading than just the e-mini's). So, I'm trying to HELP YOU to get you to stop trying to
"fade the rallies" and wait until the market begins to move in your direction before you enter a trade, hence my previous suggestions of using an indicator (Moving Average, MACD, whatever) to help you determine when to execute a trade which has a HIGHER PROBABILITY of working in your favor. You will find if you backtest it that this one idea will help you become much more profitable.
1/1000th, stay or go away, it's all the same.
Best Regards Emini, and looking forward to being in the action with you next week.

V.18:2 (16-22) Pivot Points
by Jayanthi Gopalakrishnan
Classic techniques still work on charts at all time levels, and the most basic charting technique is the identification and development of pivot points. Take a look.
Cut your losses, ride your profits! That adage should be familiar to all traders, and it may buzz through their minds as something taken for granted but not easy to implement. The pivot point technique can help you do both.
Floor traders use pivot points to determine critical price and support/resistance levels. It is a relatively simple calculation that can be jotted on the back of a trading card for easy reference. Off-floor traders who have the luxury of looking at monitors with real-time datafeeds can adopt this technique as well.
