LOL. That happens a lot around here. Somebody will have a couple of good days and start posting all over the place and then as reality takes its toll, slowly fade away.
Speaking of that, how's Wally doing today? How did you come out Cathy on your chimp trades? It would be interesting to see a quick chart of where you got in and out.
HMMMM...I guess you did not look very closely....I put in yesterday's and today's charts 2 pages ago.......
Morning trades for Cathy: chart for weds morning. 1. Faded the gap at the cross 2. Exited the gap fade....made 1/2 Forgot to number this, but at the spike after the announcement, I went short as it went down and got out just before the cross....made 1 1/2 3. Went short after the cross 4. Exited because the stochastic crossed....made 3 1/2 5. went short again 6. exited quickly when it touched the 13 minute trend line and the stochastic crossed....made 1/4 Not bad morning....5 1/4 points up. The morning was messy because of the announcements, so I picked my times and did short trades before it. Did not want to get caught with a position. There, I brought it forward for those too lazy to look. Good job for an hour's work. It only took me 10 minutes to lose 11 points today.
cathy, i just wanted to clarify: are you using this method on the es or the nq? or both? great thread !
Thanks for your interest. Only one of my systems gave a signal today: -6 pts. You see, contrary to what some implied, I never said I made money every day. In fact, if you check all my posts you will see that I was honest enough to admit 12 pts losses in some days. Still, I also had profits of 20+ a few times, and those were really good days when all of my systems went in the same direction. So far this month I am up 11+4+2-6=11 pts with my systems, in my discretionary trading I am up 5+6=11, just from the yesterday's amusing magic 61.8 % FR. But, my discretionary trading is very infrequent and so far it has been limited to trading the said FR.
I am using it on ES.... I ran a papertrade on SPY today, but it does not work as well. Biggest problem is in the mornings with no 23 hour data on SPY.
