Soybean 'win'

 

IS that a 1 minute chart?
Change it to a 60min and watch the daily charts and other larger ones.

Lots of what you traded was bullshit noise.

 

Taking trades directly after news is risky in the ES, especially if it goes counter to what HAD been setting up prior. Setting up prior was long. Just something to watch out for if you trade ES after news.

 

You're trying to hit a trend, but you will be lucky to hit 30% winners.

 

It looks like you shorted a pullback in an uptrend. You can try fading a run up in an uptrend (not my favorite move), you can short once a double top or lower high in an uptrend is established (happens right around 10:00 am and this is my favorite move), but don't short the PULLBACK to the trend line/20 EMA in an uptrend!

 

can you show me on a chart?

 

has anyone had as bad a day as this?

 

Not really, I think you just need to slow down some. You're going to be on the streets at this rate.

 

that is amazing that you have never lost $366 in one day...great trading!

 

you're just not as skilled I guess. Maybe if you posted actual execution reports we could better help you. You're kind of a weird guy for not doing so. Agree?
