Here is what I can tell you with about 95% certainty. Nobody has ever turned profitable by coming to ET. Trading is such an individual pursuit that the more you listen to others, the worse off you are. This is why I know you are full of it. You start countless threads asking people for their advice when a real trader, who is making money by now, would know that nobody here can help them. Sure people throw out ideas to test and shit like, but even all of this accounts for a very small percentage of what it takes to actually become profitable. On top of this, your posts are all over the map. Here you say that many experienced traders advise not trading for the first 20-30 minutes. https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/yukk-what-a-crappy-day-for-es.310483/#post-4472893 What is an experienced trader anyway? If you developed your strategy and found that a stop of 2 points and a target of 3 points works, then how have you not found out if the first 20 minutes after the open is good or not? Other people have already called you out on your commenting about how the ES is or isn't moving. You should have shit loads of charts to refer to that show that this is exactly how the ES moves, ON MOST DAYS! The shit you say is click bait, simple as that. Doesn't mean you're a bad person, but it means you're full of it, you're not actually trading, you don't have stats to back up your trading decisions, etc. Then you complain about the low volume, but then specifically state that "my method was tweaked and perfected in this low volume/low volatility time frame" https://www.elitetrader.com/et/thre...er-sleeper-for-s-p.310549/page-2#post-4474005 So why do you want the summer trading style to be over if this is what you need for your strategy??? Do you see why I say you're all over the map?
Well at least you didn't say this in color with a big font! LOL... So you must think there is a good chance I'm right.
Wow. That's sure a lot. My strategy works just fine. I was only asking if anyone else skipped the first 30 mins of the regular session. It seems your goal on this forum is to attack others. Why don't you spend your energy doing something positive. Sure I complain about market conditions. I'm a trader, what else would you expect. Sure I start threads, isn't that the point of a forum. And no genius. This low volume low volatility has been going on for years. Not just the summer. If you knew the markets and did your homework you would know that. Good luck. With and attitude as negative as yours you're going to need it
Picking the exact time for trading is just bum.It migrates with time.Today it`s cool to trade the opening, but tomorrow it`ll be closing or midday.And the day after it`ll be opening again.
it`s been on since 2009 or so...lol That may suggest that there`s no money left daytrading, unless your really flexible: https://pp.userapi.com/c840139/v840139788/c2cb/iR-kdeXXg8E.jpg lolololol.....
Omg I clicked on the photo!!! Hilarious!!! Well. I know there's still money in day trading. But it sure isn't easy.
