ES EMINI Trading - The gap and others

As a computers programmer with a real passion (greed?) to the financial markets it was natural for me to experience by applying my skills. At the beginning the picture was blurry but 2 years later thanks to time and experience the path started to reveal itself. Though it is yet to be as sharp as an LCD HD TV on Blueray, I do consider it as a good start.

I currently trade the ES, I use tick and time charts, volume and T&S. My eyes are my indicator, my stop and targets are set in stone.

Hope to have a long and profitable journey with you all....

Happy Trading

 

Today I went short at around 1158 and was stopped.

A stop is a part of the game, I have had a few stops lately but they just make me stronger...

Here are this week's trades

3/15/2010 - Long @1143.50 - Target

So far, gap isn't forming. Still waiting

 

Short @1161

 

Closed it a few minutes later for a 3 ticks profit. this isn't my regular target but it wasn't working out.

 

This is really bad thread.

 

LOL! and this is probably its worst reply...

I am trying to start something here. Submit my entries every morning and have a discussion about my trading method.

 

Well done

1 day into ur thread and you already are breaking your rules.

 

Getting into a trade when a gap isn't present is the rule that I broke.
