ES Journal - 2014

Again.
L nq 4068.5

 

Was just kidding

 

And out here at 4077 +8.5 NQ points

 

shooting for 30 NQ points per day at the mo

 

That's the equivalent to 12 ES points per day on average. Jack Hershey is the only one that can pull that off. Good luck lol

 

I only see Jack Hershey posting hindsight analysis as opposed to realtime calls

 

I doubt that he's swinging any real size... So far he's been lucky with his "long only, buy and pray" strategy.

I am perfectly content averaging 4-6 ticks per day while gradually increasing my size, not the amount of points or trades.

 

Less trades for more consistent results has worked for me. Only trade the ES when all the stars align. This means rarely more than 3 trades per day and very few trades in the afternoon unless we have a volatility spike and u see the afternoon reversals.

I can go days with no trades when volatility declines due to upside price movement, and what I call price equilibrium. Averaging 4-6 ticks per day is probably where I am at as well if u average in all those days I don't trade.

 

Watching TF 66.5 here. Algo struggling to move TF lower after Europe close.

 

Hey Johnny, elsewhere in this thread you mentioned that you keep detailed stats, so If you don't mind i wanna ask a few questions
What's your win%, profit/loss ratio, avg time in trade, # of trades a day. How long have you been able to average 4-6 ticks a day? How long have you been trading the ES?

This style of trading seems to suit my personality, so I'm just curious how many people are actually able to pull off scalping the ES successfully like this.
