Hey Traders,

I am trying something new (at least new for me). At my age and health issues it is getting harder for me trade ..post charts..type commentaries..do all that at the same time..etc.

Several days ago someone suggested I just make a running video of me trading and record my comments thus saving me a lot of work.[/MEDIA]

And three years ago, someone else suggested the same thing. Wonder who that was? lol

Hey Traders,

I am trying something new (at least new for me). At my age and health issues it is getting harder for me trade ..post charts..type commentaries..do all that at the same time..etc.

Several days ago someone suggested I just make a running video of me trading and record my comments thus saving me a lot of work. So, today I created a YouTube channel (took me a bit LOL) and am posting some trades I took today in MES. These are just one contract trades on this video. I may post another video with more contracts later on in the session. So here they are with my commentaries. Maybe it will be helpful to understand how I view the markets (especially ES and MES).

Many traders will not trade such tight sideways move in a TR when price is meandering around back and forth in the bottom half of a TR on a 1m chart. They would say it is noise. I subscribe to the posture that there is no noise in the market. Only movement! And bulls and bears are both active on every bar. And money can be made on most any bar.

Remember, I am a scalper 1 to 8 points. I grab what the market gives me. Liquidity is fine for doing this type of scalping on the ES. I consider a scalp to be a min of 1 point. That doesn't mean I will not get out with less but that means I am always attempting to get at least 1 point.

I apologize for my weak voice as I am not feeling well today but wanted to test this out anyway. If you find it useful shout out at me. I would appreciate that.

The trollers who seem to want to say "hindsight or after the fact trading" concerning my charts with the typed commentaries ...well I guess they will get to see the trades go down live here and see it live BEFOREHAND with commentaries BEFOREHAND. We will see what they say about this? Probably find something wrong LOL. I hate to be a pessimist but it gets tiring when so much work is done to help hopefully give traders some idea as to how I trade by scalping.

Remember, I am selling nothing. Nada..Zero...AND I have no secret sauce to hid. I fear not even one iota that I am giving away my edge. My only edge is PA and how to read it. I simply care not how many traders figure out how I do it. It will only make it MORE profitable for me if they figure it out. Besides PA is what we all see. Nothing to hide about it. It there in the open!

Again, apologies for my voice. This is a test run.

Please do not bore us again with that shit. Scalping tics in a 10-point range on the ES?

20 minutes of life gone. What the fuck, this is pre-2018 all over again.

How hard is it to have some class and keep to yourself if you aren't interested?

Leave the more obscure wisdom to those of us that understand it for what it is and where it's coming from. Dont ruin it for the rest of us. Take your meds and stick to your typical negative bitching in other threads.

Capiche?

I am actually trying to help here, because I went through this same thing pre 2018.

If you study that PA too hard it will hurt you. That is NOT the normal reality.
 
Here is one trade after the other 4. There was a BO to the upside of the previous TR where I had taken 4 scalps. I was busy and did not trade. When I took a look I saw another TR forming above that lower TR in the first video. So, I took this trade. I mention in this video uploading 9 Mega bytes as max that can be loaded directly to ET so that is why I decided to try it from YouTube and just posting the link. Again this is my second video today showing one trade (a 5th day for the day). Profit was 2.5 points.

Finally, I took two more trades. I did not record these. I guess I forgot. Any way both were averaged down trades. I count that as two trades. So, there were 7 trades taken today. All profitable. and all show up on this screenshot. That was all I had time for today. Note that a scalper has to maintain a high win rate.

Well I guess you think I just manufactured the video somehow. If you could not make it work for you then you were just not good enough.

Overnight why don't you take the first fedex truck out of town. Get it? Fedex..Overnight?? LOL

He doesn't think. He just projects. It's a common problem with the culture these days.
