@hurricane_sh , I am also interested in learning about how to daytrade the ES successfully and would like to see more details about your trades if you are willing to post them? In order for the experienced traders here to help out, I think they will need to see such details as time stamp of entries and exits. What do you think?
Sure everyone has a different system/style but if are you doing 20-30 round turns in futures and ending flat every day like the OP, making money only on Brexit would probably not be viable.
That is a lot of pressure. Why not get a "job" for 6 months or so, take the pressure off and ease into it. It seems to be a more winning strategy for the traders I know. Then it is a win / win. You have a much better shot at trading long term for a living, and it will be easier. . . if you can create the 2k/mo. in some other way. . .
Of course. And I already said that the OP is wasting his money and time watching live prices moving up and down and emotionally reacting to them. How did things go with that Al Brooks course?
he should keep buying more courses from scammers and their asssociates This forum is well known for scammers that makes u an associate ARSE HOLE

I Have read all the postings here with great interest. Your thread title is prophetic "My Final Attempt". You just do not know what you do not know and you refuse to listen to the good advice given to you by very well meaning responders. It is impossible for you to be "over" a $9,000 loss on a day that was one of the best days of the year to trade. At this point in your trading career the confidence that you have in yourself is misplaced. Take a time out from trading and work out a trading plan that "works". You do not even know what works for you yet. Then trade SPY instead of ES. They track each other with about 20% of the risk. Back test like Handel does or take the suggestion that was given to to you to demo trade. I know, you say you have no discipline so you can't do this. Not much more to say except to say that I hope your broker has high initial margins for ES. At least you can leave the battlefield with that amount left.
- Im not better than you are.. almost the same boat. Lost because I trade my ego not the rules. I stay away from market ranging on the daily chart. I used to trade break out, but 99% of the time they are traps so only trades the re test. Take quality trades and trade less, wait for it to give you a good trades , let it come to you. I lost money when the market was ranging the whole summer. Just got a little bit back since it broke down.
