  6. Hi Matcha,

    I am new here and wish to chime in. I have traded and developed systems on the emins for too long to admit, considering I do not make money. So consider me a newbie..

  7. Hi Matcha,

    Congrats on your first week of trading the ES!

    You did well on a positive note for the week. You will get used to ES in no time, 'cause you are very smart!

    Have a nice weekend!

  8. Hi Matcha,

    Friday is what I see as an ES "trend day". Live or dead this is obvious on the 30 min time frame, unless we use a 5 min chart. "trend day all down all day"....

    10:40 now. I won’t take any more trades today. Gap and go day, I have rule on this type of the day that I will not trade when market is starting consolidating after the morning “run” is over.

    I took 2 trades today. I should only be taking 1. Had I taken the trade on YM, I wouldn’t have “shaken out” from the first trade. I thought part of the reason is I am learning bar by bar method, so if there is a slightly “difference” on the bars forming, I got the different picture. Got to get used to ES more. Besides, nothing is 100% perfectly perfect.

    PnL: 2.25pt, 2 trades

    I will not be trading too much in the next few weeks, so I can’t report my journal every day. But I will continue studying on my free time.

    Hi, Jurmajesty

    Welcome to this journal! You are very modest. We can all learn from each other here.
