ddaytrader replied Apr 6, 2016I faded the high of the opening 5 minute range as that 41.50 level had been a brief premkt support and I was anticipating it to be resistance on the first RTH test. I made my 3 points on that trade and called it quits for the day. I tend to do best ...

ddaytrader replied Apr 6, 2016For example, this morning I sold short 41.50 and my stop loss was initially 3 points, but the high print after my entry was 41.75, so once price moved 4-5 ticks in my favor, I moved my stop loss down to 42, so my 3 point initial stop was reduced to ...

ddaytrader replied Apr 4, 2016Nice going, D. Lately I have found we get 1 good one in the morning if that, and then 1 to 2 god ones in the afternoon. Activity level has really dried up. I'm back to taking the first 3 to 4 points the ES gives me (12 to 16 ES ticks which is the ...

ddaytrader replied Apr 4, 2016Fade the extremes and wait for the breakout, imo (i.e. sell high & buy low until breakout, then sell low and buy lower or buy high and sell higher).

ddaytrader replied Apr 4, 2016ES came within 2 ticks of Friday's high and stalled. You might be right now, Erasmus. This is looking like fairly weak follow through given the strength we saw Friday, and the fact that that strength reversed a reversal. I took 3 points ES long ...

ddaytrader replied Mar 31, 2016Maybe we'll see a test of yesterday's low if we see sellers move price below this bear flag-like trendline. NFP tomorrow ... we sometimes just stagnate until the number.

ddaytrader replied Mar 30, 20169:30 AM to 11:30 AM I consider "Prime Time," but I will look for trades as early as 8:30 AM and as late as 12 noon. All times are Eastern. If I get nothing in the morning, then I will sometimes come back after lunch and I will trade the afternoon ...

ddaytrader replied Mar 30, 2016I've been sticking to the ES in the Early Session
Slow mornings this week, with the big moves coming in the Late Session after I am already closed and enjoying the life beyond the trading desk. I managed to net 7 1/2 points thus far, ...Flag trading the trend

ddaytrader replied Mar 25, 2016Well I am glad to see this week come to an end. Two weeks ago my little project account stood at 2900 and change, and then last week I was not feeling well and I did not trade. This week I traded. I had a real bad day and a real good day and two ...

ddaytrader replied Mar 21, 2016Not 100% yet and so I'm taking the day off. I'm watching and I am "trading in my mind" but not actually trading. Just trying to get my feel back.
