    one day you post a 1 min chart saying you traded it, today you post a 2 min chart. U say you trade CL and ES and next day you are posting DAX saying you traded it. Are these your hindsight charts, or can you honestly say you put real money into this ?

    I have automated systems and one of them trades all my two minute timeframes. It is geared to patterns. I get PMs asking me what I have that retail can do and chart patterns are easiest as there no indicators. Who can't do Triple Highs/Lows, Head and Shoulders, Trendline failures. It is Edwards/McGee counter trend or with trend patterns. And I don't trade same markets one minute systems at once, if something is not moving, something else usually is. It is same system one any market when I am trading early morning, either chart patterns or indicator patterns.

    I'm just posting swing/position trades on the board at the moment, so I disregard signals on short term charts.

  6. I'm having a hard time understanding your swing trading style.

    You had an ES short that went 30-40 points in the money, now the position has erased all those gains, gone against you, now you calling a top yet again.

    I know you don't scale out or add but your trailing method clearly needs tinkering.

    ES better drop more than 100 handles for this to ever make sense.

    M position trades are taken with greater than 100 point gains in mind.

    So the trades that I am posting here are at odds with shorter term charts
