Hey Over, Hah, ES used to be a Spot Currency guy, for years and couldn't make that work, now trading futures. So here is the deal, you have the ability to trade, lets say 1 cent a pip in retail FX, and you can't make that work, and you lose. How are you going to make futures work ???? Oh wait you just blow up sooner. The Ever Shaking My Head VIPER
Yes and then you can start a secret trading society, with a decoder ring, secret handshake, and underwear. It will be yuuuuge. The Ever Wondering VIPER
Now you see how this works. You cannot defend your system on it's merits, so you resort to profanity. Man ya can't even take a joke. The Ever Aware VIPER
I just wanted to thank the folks here in ET. I put myself out here naked and asked for help. Sorta of a simple concept ...right? I am overwhelmed with help. This Forum helped me. You folks that stepped up know who you are and for some reason held out your hand of friendship. You are truly human folks. I now am training and have direction. This is going to take some screen time and its all up to me. If I fail that is nothing new to me. But this time I feel I have the support I need. God, Wife & friends from ET... Forex was a dead end for me for over a decade even though I have a Forex thread here. I like to test EA's knowing in advance that no matter how I tweak them that they will never win. I find it fun to tweak code and do crazy math....it keeps me hoping. I have found ET to have been so negative over the years and many traders here do not know how to trade and should not call themselves traders. My eyes have been opened for a long time but now more than ever. I have tried to help as many folks that I can over these years. I am now a full-time trader again but this time not as a CTA but for myself as I did not like to trade other peoples money. I call myself a trader again and actually feel more qualified. I always have called myself a trader and have been in ET for 15 years but it is different this time. I have no problem trading a prop shops money and feel that is the direction I want to go. Trading now is far from hoping, wishing and waiting as I am trading intraday and training in order flow. How anybody can make any money trading the ES manually for intraday trades and be consistently profitable is lying. I am in hopes of being able to survive knowing this. I am fortunate to be trained by a committed veteran trader who took me under his wing and has worked with me day and night in replay and live by camera over the last few weeks. A few other traders have traded systems together with me to help me find my way in which I am thankful. I will never forget you. But now I must post less in ET and occasionally visit as I must keep my mind clear and learn without distraction. This is getting real serious for me and its been over 20 years since I have been so serious about full-time trading again. TraderEX and Handle folks try to read their posts often..I know sometimes it can be hard to follow them but you will gain knowledge. I cannot spread myself too thin and can only trade the way that they trade occasionally in my personal account. Later on I may be working with those two more but for now my time is focused on learning orderflow. Folks if you get a chance to read Sprouts posts...he is amazing. tommcginnis and CALLumbus are the other two here that really trade that I know of. Read their stuff in these dusty archives buried in negativity...dig out those gems. Thank You and goodbye for now. ES
Anytime my friend. You know I didn't give you all the sauce but you need to finish on your own, that's important. It's a manual process as you know. Glad you could integrate some ideas. When order flow works for you send me a message and teach me. That's our agreement. I will disregard the comment about lying if you are a consistent winner at day trading. I thought the same when I was on the dark side. I am extremely hard to follow because my pattern recognition ability is assumed to be yours. I see the answer clearly and cut the corners in explanation, or so I'm told. Talk to me when I'm really stoned and slow and you'll have a better chance. LOL I'm always really stoned. It's a medication thing. Good luck to you my friend. You're smart enough but have trouble finding direction. All the systems listed work. Laser focus is the key. Mine was to find one tic, in the ES, with the trend, between 1030 and 330 est, off for lunch f course. You have seen more of my live results than anyone. Took me 10,000, over 3.75 years to get hear. Profitable for last 1.5 years and solid as a rock. You've seen 10 in a row and 56 out of 60 with 4 ties. Your answers are out there my friend. How many hours away I cannot say. Anytime spent doing anything else at this point, is wasted time. Can't wait to say, my friend the Savant, that's right, he dah man. Godspeed, only way to travel.
