When the most highly liquid, freely traded market in the entire world shows a bid price above the ask, and the spread is 5 points, you do not want to be trading AMNY market on that day. I'll be watching volumes at the NYSE open. If the market is ...

You're not alone. Success, it seems to me now, is itself a decision. For some reason many of us, myself included, are as drawn more strongly to self-sabotage than we are to self-improvement. Be hard on yourself, but not so hard that you cause ...

I would not. US futures will not be trading at all. It would not be a good idea to trade CFD's when the underlying markets are closed.

It does not matter what gold was doing a year ago, two years ago, and certainly not three years ago. Three years ago I was trading M15 reversal bars on gold. There will always be a fixed bar at some time on some instrument. The purpose of tracking ...

I still want to know what you did, but I wanted to do this video tonight because I won't have time this weekend and I wanted to use today's price action as it appears without the price activity that will commence Sunday night. url

Your entire post is excellent and much appreciated. However, this particular sentence has a bulk and a weight that is rare to find here at FF. I wish I had been the one to write it. I am grateful to have had the chance to read it.

I wouldn't have it any other way, Belgrath. This isn't a thread where FF'ers should move in camp out for years. This is where FF'ers should come to fix themselves, fix their trading, and then get on with life. Congrats! I'm very proud of you!

You are using it fine, turnip. The only flaw I see is that your anchor points, both the high and the low, are each off by 1 tick. The high of the M5 ORB ES today was 6679, not 6678.75, and the low was 6645.50, not 6645.75 as you have it. The result ...

That's all this is. A job. We are told to treat trading like a business, but it is really just a job. Skilled labor. Do your job correctly and you get to keep it. Do it in a slipshod and careless manner the market will take your tools and you'll be ...

Price did not touch the entry price until 4 minutes after the close of the reference bar. That is not "price moved fast." Price did come back to the entry over a minute after the buy stop triggered, and then it proceeded to the target. You have got ...
