  1. I'd prefer to keep this thread clean but, I couldn't resist this one.
    Practice patience(good for your trading too) and see the consistency and the outcome after a few weeks, guaranteed you'll end up eating your words. :)

  2. I trade the ER2. 1 contract most times. Will add extra contract within a few ticks of the overall stop. Had two days this year with $+1500. One day I lost $700 :mad:

    Never try to have a goal (percentage or dollar amount). Just take what the market gives. Goals always phucked with my head and cost me.

  3. Good that you will post your statement copy , this will put you way above the 5K to 250K journal jokers :)

  4. You must master ES before taking advantage of the ER2 lack of liquidity and then 5 to 10 cars max for scalping.
    You're right, having a goal messes up with the mind, which is why it's a very good practice to get the mindset formed.

  5. I agree too. I'm very much against posting any type of results or journals that their authenticity cannot be substantiated.
    I cannot understand as to why they do not post their bottom line statement with sufficient data that would confirm their claims!

  7. Done for the day, although there's more money to be made since I believe there's rally waitng in the pipeline. But, like I said, I'm done here.
    33 trades, ES & ER2, +$947 triple Net. = %5.26 (will post statement later).
    have a nice evening all.

  8. squeezed in a couple of more trades and I think this is the final picture but I'll know for sure once I get the statement.
    Net. $1,117 = %6.20

  9. TradStSox, good luck in your quest!
    Maybe it is a good idea to post poll numbers as you are going forward to see if there will be more (less) believers.
    Right now:
    YES 71 67.62%
    NO 34 32.38%
