Divergence and everyone, what is good program for making videos of your computer screen. I think there are times like tonight where I’d much rather do a video explaining everything I want to say rather than writing it out. I’d like to get set up to ...

Yes, sticking with the 5 minute ES, but I want to see if I can't come up with a set of mechanical rules that allow me not to trade against my intuition. Look, I get that losses will happen. I have no problem with that at all. My frustration is that ...

I've been doing some review as well on what I've been doing. Going to pull back in to demo mode for a few days to try some ideas in real time.

I traded the ES for the first time in 1998. Not once has a stop not been filled. Except for a very few instances where I was trading large positions, I have had almost no adverse slippage. Right now I am trading piker size. I doubt I’d have a ...

As I discussed on the blog last night, I decided today to switch to +4 point profit target and let the actual risk stop run for the duration of the trade. It took almost three hours and price came within one tick of the stop, but finally had the 4 ...
