08/23 It was a good day today. First I thought I will never find an entry into the Russell, but I got in on a Ross Hook based on a 1000tick chart. I did short 4 contracts, because the market was really week. I did scalp 3 contracts and let the last one run, trailing on the 1000tick bars. http://share.esignal.com/groupcontents.jsp?folder=&groupid=707 Well, all I can recommend is "trade only when the market is moving". Whenever the market is moving fast, you don't have to put on much risk. Whenever the market is just moving sideways, even when you are right, you will probably get stopped out. The only problem is, it seems to be very difficult for a day trader to do "nothing" and to wait for the right moment. Try to be patient, and try to jump into the trade at the right moment. Happy trading, Andy
OK Guys, after trading the $20k account over a few weeks, we decide to move our big accounts as well. I am not going to be able to show the trading details (numbers) anymore but I am going to show the trades on the charts. I hope you understand. I will also post the details for the trades. I am in ES at the moment, trying to get into a longer trade. Up to know, not much movement. Will let you know. Regards, Andy
Trade 08/28 Hi Guys, nice start into the new week. Did get long at 704,3 for one point. Out at 705,3. My Trade Navigator did screw up my orders (braket order). I did actually want to get into a possition. First target 705,3 and then trail on the low of the bars. http://share.esignal.com/groupcontents.jsp?folder=&groupid=707 Happy trading, Andy
Trade 08/31 I did miss a nice one on EC this morning but did try to catch it later. I did enter EC short at 1.2827, took some profits on the first lot and got stopped out after trailing my second lot on the high of the bars. http://share.esignal.com/groupcontents.jsp?folder=&groupid=707 Happy trading, Andy
Hi Andy, Any chance you can post the link to the actual chart rather than the area? Being a lazy cuss I tend to give up trying to find it rather quickly! Hows Joe nowadays btw? Do you keep in quite close touch. Cheers, Nick.
Of course Nick I can do that. http://share.esignal.com/groupcontents.jsp?folder=&picture=EC0831_1000t.png&groupid=707 Joe is fine so far, getting ready for his trip to Europe. He is giving some seminars in October. Andy
Trade 09/01 I got into my first trade a bit late today. Long the Dow at 11446. My stop was only 10 ticks, same as my first target, second target would have been 30 ticks. I took profit on the first lot because the market didn't want to move higher and it was already 10:00 AM. I got stopped out with my second lot at break even. I am allways carefull trading in front of a holiday. http://share.esignal.com/groupcontents.jsp?folder=&picture=YM0901_1000ticks.png&groupid=707 Have all a long and nice weekend, Andy
Trade 09/11 Hi Guys, I did two trades today, the firs one based on a Ross Hook, the second one I did try to catch the reversal bar. I am trying out something new. I did use a very close stop and first target of only 6 ticks, with a second target of 30 ticks. Unfortunately I got stopped out on both trades at break even with my second lot. http://share.esignal.com/groupcontents.jsp?folder=&picture=ER0911_1000ticks.png&groupid=707 Happy trading, Andy
