I took 2 losses in ES that is correct, that's because I'm honest with my trading, traders have losses. However, I don't add to losers and I'm over 55 points in the money on the NQ short but of course, you would not mention that because it's not convenient for your argument. Don't let your ego get in the way of advice, I'm not as dumb as I look, was just trying to offer constructive criticism, it won't happen again. Last but not least I will hold onto my NQ target and will keep on taking losses and winners in ES. So sorry for wasting your time, and mine.
Do you see my point ? Had I held and been greedy for 92 target ALL OF MY PROFIT would have been given back. And I would have missed on the trades in between with my capital tied up. Way to go on your nq short but sounds to me you were hedged because you had a fear of losing. Maybe you and atticus can be buddies. I just scalped 9.5 points in the past hour while you let your profits evaporate on your nq short. Had I taken your advice and held for my target of 18 I would only be up 2 points in the same time period. Never confuse ego with confidence.
I've been using ES to countertrend, except I have not been successful because the downtrend has been furious but not because I'm hedged, those were just bad calls on my part. 50-60 points in NQ now is peanuts, I'm looking for over 300 and I'm very confident I will get them.
I say this 96 ES will be the bottom... Edit: I actually misscalculated and it is 95, but not a big difference anyway...
