tough trading week of 09/11/06

u futs trader should have a serious look at qm; the contract is much more predictable and trendin' than sifs and liquidity is outrageous; if un have balls to leverage u butzz u can make a fortune every day wiith a couple of trades.
 
Some of the moves were pre-market so you had like 4-6 point ranges during regular hours. Daytraders don't hold overnight.

You call ES from 1302 to 1336 in 5 days chop ?

it was certainly a tough week for myself as well......almost a continuation of august......

was forced to take a personal day on tuesday but after analyzing the charts ,my system would`ve only given me 1 trade off the ma`s & probably enough for my quota but after that it was chop suey and/or gap & grind................f-ing brutal for sept but with the vix.x pushing on the lo`s,we should be in store for some vol real soon.
 
guys ... I do not mean to say its easy money

but there is more to trading than SIF's

I had one of my best weeks of the yr

metals futures along with some energies
and forex

of course by the end of the week
I started to get a teeny headache or eyestrain at times
so I needed to take a break

also I made a couple of small buy sell errors or price - slippage
errors ... but I am working on stopping this

I had three market opening bracket trades that took over 30 minutes to complete (that is exceptionally rare.....and all in the same week). They all worked profitable but they sure took a long time, so yes that was out of the norm for me this last week.

Today was quick.......a real good 07:30 CST bracketed news trade and my market opening trade was done fast. We need to either breakout or fail these highs to get everything flowing good again imo.....I'll take any direction.

I will say the intra-day trading this week was good though as I had lots of clean "delta" shift trades for the ES.
 
i also had a great week myself. one of the better weeks i've had in a while. althought i did recently change up my strategy 3 weeks ago so that might have something to do with it as well
