nkhoi just hit the trades also......it is not that difficult to find higher probability trade set-ups with the right tools imo. Come on JJ you are a smart guy!
Come on 1309's......bust!

....and yet it is too funny how many traders make this into "brain surgery".......LOL!
Yes, it is probably THE number problem I see most traders having.
They see 400 indicators on their software package and can't believe that you can and probably will make a lot more money by using only a couple of the simple ones.
Trading is completely the opposite of other "real world" jobs.
You can have a batting average of 25% and make a lot of money.
Try applying for a job and asking them if it's "okay" to be 75% wrong in your analysis and decision making.
Dumb is good...no opinions are good.
I think the market will "blah blah blah" is meaningless and detrimental to making money.

Yes, and for me seeing/watching/and learning the "delta" was an eye opener.....really made a big difference (and of course learning "auction market theory" or market profile).
Keep selling!
Nah, I covered at the Pivot for another B/E trade.
Oh well.
Truth be known, it's trading multiple markets and money management that allows the winners to win (but nobody really talks about that stuff in a stragith forward fashion), it has to be such a secret.

edit: these trades are certainly worth 2 pts, I just want more.
I rarely go for more than 2 ES pts on any of my discretionary trades.....usually have 2/3'rds off at 1 pt and the last 1/3'rd off at 2 pts . The ES just has too much congestive trading periods to try for more imo. If I go for more than 2 pts it is mostly just a few runners on to see if I can catch a reversal point in the day, or I am in a swing trade. Small consistant hits are more probable imo and better on the psychology (unless you are into "self-abuse" :eek: ).
OK....which one of you missed filling my runners at 1309.00!!!
