Questions for experienced ES daytraders?

[speedo]

Or those who can trade and value their time

There are those who actually enjoy trading and do not consider making money a poor use of time.

Now I get it...this guy is a pimp for a trading service.

What kind of a silly ridiculous statement is that? Why don't you show some details of your trades, or are you afraid you will give away your edge. Really, do you actually think a little retail trader has any impact on the ES market. If you do then you are living in a dream world.
What kind of a trading site has people who speak a lot and show nothing, and then when someone tries to start a discussion about actual daytrading the ES, and posts some details about trades, everyone goes on the defensive. As mentioned, one can only assume those who do not show any trade details, do not actually trade. They are day dreamers.

You know, that is a very good question. Why am I here in an ES thread? I suppose the only answer I can give is that I've watched the ES future for a time, saw it had price movement inferior as compared to other future contracts, and felt this compulsion to rail against the ES, because that is all anyone ever talks about. ES. Vendors, brokers, traders...It seems to me that it is the "golden child" of trading, because so many brokers offer such low daytrading margins on it.

As far as trading S&P options outright, or trading options on top of the ES future, I do not know. But why could someone not do that with the NASDAQ and NQ? Just because of volume?

If the extreme ES volume is the only reason why people trade it, then no other futures contract should be traded. Because nothing comes close to ES in volume. The logical conclusion then is that the only futures contract that money can be made on is the ES.

Silly conclusion, isn't it?

You are showing that you know very little about making money trading. Sometimes it is better to stay quiet and say nothing.

I am still waiting for the automation expert to reply. When he does I will elaborate on your post. Maybe you would care to answer for him, as your reply implies that you might know something about automated trading. Or, you could be another dreamer? How is one to know without some proof?

So if no one shows you their trade plan, they don't actually trade? You are a blow hard and a waste of time...ciao

Not when I feel very passionate about an issue. I type about it. Why do I need to stay quiet? My trade logs show what I know or not know. I am a struggling trader, like many others here.

At this stage just one screenshot of trade details and chart will suffice, you can keep your secret plan to yourself. I am really finding it very hard to believe that people can be so silly when it comes to trading. Most act like little children.

You know, I was thinking about your username/nick. wtfauoa....That doesn't stand for "What The Fuck Are yoU On About", does it? If not, my apologies in advance. Just curious about it.

Wtfauoa ...

You don't know how to trade.
Otherwise you wouldn't ask for systems.

You will never be profitable with someone else's system.
As you won't fully understand it. Grow your own through Trials & Errors.

No one will ever talk to you about its advantage.
As the more crowded it becomes, the less profitable.

You're one among thousands suckers.
So What ?! Experts don't care. Just Keep Calm.

Suckers can still learn by working.
That wasn't a smart Idea. Okay ... Move on.

If you really are struggling then you should welcome my thread to get the Elite Traders discussing actual strategies that are used on a daily basis. The likes of @Handle123 and others are daydreamers, who do nothing but waste peoples time making up silly fantasy stories. You are struggling due to 2 main reasons.

1. You are not using stops correctly.
2. You are not timing your entries and exits correctly.
