Great journal Andy. One question, are you trading 3-minute time frame also? This is not RH or 1-2-3 trade, is it?

Johnny

 

Hi Johnny,

no, the trade above was based on a reversal bar. If I see a good trade I also take it even if it's not in my current trading plan. I have done a lot of reversal bar trading in ES and NQ on 3 minute charts and it seems it's working again in YM and ER at the moment.

Happy trading,

Andy

I assume you are trading ER2U4? On my charts the prices are
545.10, 545.20, 545.30 ect. I was wondering why you are using
5449, 5439, 5446 ect.?

Also, nice journal. Don't believe I have seen a Ross Hook journal
here at ET before. And it would be neat if you put up some charts
even though we can see where you traded on our own charts...

 

I agree. Andy it would be perfect with intraday charts to understand your trading decisions.

 

On my charts I do not have any decimal for the russell and all the other indices. I know it's always different. Sorry for that!

I can understand to post the charts would help a lot. But it would mean tremendous work for me.

I am already under water because I am running a live chat and I am also responsible for a daily newsletter about spread trading.

I hope you understand.

Take care,

Andy
