    Sure you can make money, I agree. People should stop blaming the market, it's moving all over the place, what are they looking at? I mean see attached, this is only the first hour of the day.

    I have to thank Savage for inspiring me to rework my trading plan to account for "chop" that occurs most of the day. I Currently use a combination of Murray Math and the Force now to target 4 points out of the NQ mini's wiggles. Here is today's record of trades so far. Unfortunately missed the morning due to a phone call (arg!), which is my most consistent money making period.

    Well, I guess I have to figure out a way to benefit from all that chop as well. The ES is really driving me crazy today. The Force is that the Elder Force Index?

    I was being facetious about the Force (Star Wars). Here is the balance of my day--quitting early while I'm ahead. I just use price to base my entries and exits--no indicators. :)

    22 points or $397 net.

  7. Keep posting those gifs.

    It is really interesting to see where I was buying or selling to you guys.

    A couple of spikes, I was on the exact opposite trade. :(

  8. Here's things that are common for them:

    They do alotta trader per day like 10+. They don't go for homeruns just the opposite, they go for like 3 point hits. They have an amazing winning trade %. They are very nimble on exits, take alotta scratches. Most of them use alot of discretion. They all have some kind of a method. Many use a lot of indicators confirming each other.

    Now I've yet to see an example of such a method that would work for me. And, yea they are not much into sharing :)
