Trades for 08.06.07 If you are following my journal you should be aware by now that today marked my complete transition from YM to the ES. I studied it during afterhours using 500 share charts, even made some scalps because it was trending nicely, took a much needed rest afterward, overslept a bit and then..... "THIS IS SPARTA!" (Avid fan) To the trades..... Shorts 1) Stopped out, eventhough it did not work, I'm not happy with my entry, took a bigger stop than what I had planned due to bad entry. 3.25 Possibly a product of my first scalping day in ES. A bad trade in every sense of the word but had it gone a bit higher it would had been a legal short due to Price Action. Yes, I make mistakes, on a daily basis too Longs 1) Winner 2) Winner 3) Winner 4) Grand Slam Off to get some rest. Anek

I need to do some research between constant volume bars and the volume bars Tradestation provides. Will report any findings. Thanks to ST for his valuable contributions to the thread. Anek
Valuable???? I'd say that is subjective to personal opinion. I was just called a "shill" on another thread! st
That person tends to be very negative around the forums your time would be better spent taking a crap than replying to such individuals. One must walk around ET forums with insurance, it's a dangerous place with dangerous people but once in a while a few pearls can be found and last but least a few laughs. The hard part is not falling prey to the vile creatures that surround this place. There are a lot of frustrated traders in this forum, statiscally speaking around 95%. Funny enough, we need them, someone has to pay our bills, the irony is I'm willing to help them in exchange for Karma, friendship and good spirit. Anek
I havent met a good trader yet that was a negative personality. How can you be sour if your making money?
