Don't like trading near the top, too volatile for me. Have to trade at the top or stay out. My predictive model for the next quarter is bullish. I stated earlier, if you are short or own puts on the ES, dump them ASAP. TRUMP is just killing it. My son traded one candle today, three times in 5 minutes, somewhat stoned. What a knuckle head!

Three trades for 15 contracts. Why our sheet shows one 5 and 10 singles is beyond me. Maybe it's milliseconds or something. I told him that this Savant guy posted about making more tics than the actual candle to be a real trader. This was an attempt by my son. Wants to outdo me. In his dreams I told him.

Not sure when options expire. If you are holding puts under 2900.00 you are donating to the cause. That's my cause; profitability. If you are holding ES short then bail out. The oracle has spoken for the last time this quarter on the ES.

My day is going well. My son will never up me as I see it. When he does, I will be joyous. My record stands.

PS I do show losses if you follow the thread. I will not lose intentionally for something to post. Sorry?

PS when you get the top your best bet is reverse trend until you break the old high. That is what my experience shows.

With President Trump at the helm and me on the trigger for trades, what else could I wish for?
 
Trump, Trump, Trump...So this weeks trading profit so far are 850, 125, 437.50. Normal exchange fees apply and Tradovate gets 50 a week. Not crushing it but not bad for a newbie. This week is more than usual even missing Tuesday. I had a PET scan and draw the line trading while radioactive. Melanoma, BRAF mutation, is still in spontaneous regression (remission is commonly stated but only applies to Leukemia).

I would like to thank three members here for helping me out. Robert Morse, a sponsor here, and Southall have both posted entries, not to me directly, that have helped me get over the "little guy" complex. Sprout has answered me directly and deserves a mention here. Thanks guys for the generosity.

Hi Trader ex.

Just read all your posts all night long. it makes sense as i also tend to go from forex to futures scalping 1 tick. but how is it possible you almost don't get any stops filled.
second question . i asked Tradovate to enlarge my demoaccount for 14 days longer but how do you trade 1 whole year on demo. it will expire in 14 days. thanks for giving such a nice view on the topic.
 
post 2k to an account and withdraw 1500 ASAP. With that balance you will be open in an account which will give you demo for a yaer and your money is safe..

I primarily use the market orders to get in and then a bracket with a one point sell stop. Hits it all day long. the only way i do it. Did you mean stop loss?

My account was3/3 today.
I trade 1030 until 330, right SAVANT. The kid I'm teaching one tic wants more. Told him it would be slow@ 930 and he told me, "I GOT IT".
I TOOK his account for him @ 1030 and used the all time high as a barrier with a psychological backup stop of 2900. Risky strategy needed to comeback.
Justin offered me a third but you do not take money from family friends. He's going to mow my lawn for a while. He was lucky.
My stomach was in a knot.

I really am trying not to be rude, but again, not asking how you decide on a trade, just the mechanics of your trade. Again, you made another lengthy post, and still I do not know. This tells me you might not really know. For example, one could say, I use a 4 tick stop and a 1 tick target. The stop is trailing, so assuming price moves up a tick, then the stop becomes 3 from the original entry and target is still 1 tick. Boom. That makes sense. That's clear, I understand it, but then you throw in things like, well sometimes I target 2 ticks or 3? Well, which is it?

I think I have you figured out. I think you found that you could get winning streaks with a 1 tick target. The truth is, everyone can get winning streaks with a 1 tick target. The problem is when your luck runs out. If you get stopped a few times in a row, it's going to take one heck of a winning streak, just to get back to break even. And then whoops, stopped out a few more times. Over time, I'm sure your account will just break down. And because you can't give straight forward answers, that tells me you already know this is true.

I'll call you when the luck runs out.
