Hey man, we're all making money here if we're even remotely as good as we present ourselves to be on Elite Trader. Let'em run his thread helping the guys who can't see what is obvious to us (although point-in-fact, we may not see exactly the same things ...) and stop trying to run into the ground a thread, which heretofore, had been a very clean place, someplace to just come and read about trading, a profession and discpline which we all profess to LOVE. And FTR, it's quite possible for Anekdoten, myself, or anyone else to come up with a trading methodology which has escaped the purview of all the quants under the sun. Good trading, Jimmy Jam
Two nice trades to end the day with pullback buys on HH HL....... Very nice volatile day with some lucrative intra day trends I tell you one thing you have too be patient once you enter the Pullback. Sometimes noise can take it down a little further than you expected. But stick to your original convictions and dont get scared and prematurely shaken out. Stick to original stop !!
What started as a choppy opening ended up as a very nice day for trading. Not bad for the crappy week many expected, myself included. Anek
Hi, Net Gain $95 NQ's. Nice gain on AAPL, about breakeven on GOOG. Happy with the day, tried to ride a few positions for longer holds but came back to hit +4 and +3 gains, they went as much as +6 and +7 in my favour before my trail stop hit, no worries though because hey could have easily turned into +10 gains if the trend would have stayed intact.....I will get um Cheers PS: Had one awesome trade today where I knew I could get in and have only .75 risk with potential for a +3.00 gain, well got in and ended up with +4.25 on the trade with only .75 initial risk.....gotta love trading with the trend
Well after years of trading equities, I am now putting that to rest for the time being as my ES account has been validated and is up and running now. Also I am trying the tick/volume bars now instead of timing increments. So yeah... new to ES or futures in general thought I do have experience of them, and new to volume/tick charting. Anyway I'm excited to begin applying this system that I have been trying to apply in equities and have had no such luck with. So if Anek or any of you guys want to give any advice right out the start that would be cool. I'll probably be asking some things that seem simple to you, so bear with me. More than anything the tick/volume charting is throwing me off a little just because i've always used time frames. Anyway enough rambling, got to get this new setup completed On a side note, not sure what you are trying to prove StealthTrader but what Anek is doing here is quality. I guess if you can't appreciate the effort and time he's put into this thread, maybe it's just a better idea that you troll somewhere else. Should just accept that you guys agree on a bottomline basis as far as price goes and leave it at that. Don't get me wrong I'm not doing personal attacks, but I think the others that have been following his thread since the beginning feel the same way. ~Cx P.S. I plan on alternating between paper trading and 1 ES for now. Does that seem reasonable at start?
Please show where I have been trying to run this thread into the ground as you so boldly stated. Fact is, I've been quite supportive of his generosity until he started the nonsense about secret indicators. For that, I questioned him, but only after he made baseless insinuations. But I agree, an otherwise great thread, but it would be nice to see a headmaster stay on track for once and not keep re-writing the strategy on a daily basis. The thread was supposed to be a helping hand teaching HH/LL based on pure price action. Unfortunately, it's been everything except that, and now it seems to be migrating into another stepping stone boasting of ones greatness. But seeing as how everyone on ET seems to have a "secret" indicator they just can't wait to reveal, but not share, it's only natural nerves are going to be hit. Only on ET! Good trading to you as well. st
