Every morning I crush these Algos for breakfast and eat their brains I don't always win, but more often I am coming out ahead, even after commission. Yes I think what you meant to say is most ...

What charting platform is that? Awesome. 23600 I say! I'm done for the day though! I woke up at 4am, went long, got smacked on that and reversed to make most back. Then started to buy again. I didn't want to let this trade run though. I ...

I agree mostly, 99% of the time I no longer trade Asia. I think I traded Asia 1 time in 3 months. My philosophy is to be a winner and winners pick their window of trading. 3 to 4 hour window, same time each day. That way we avoid being glued to the ...

Nope not your fault RMG! I got faked out by that big support that broke momentarily, and I already was short from the open so bias was my own fault! I did reverse the trade....around NOON! I was sweating bullets. Scaled up my long size ...

...Updated P/L for today. A few small scalps end of day here. I am totally done for the day. So for the week, still positive $+230.... Ooof So tomorrow I will take it easy I think. I will be trading still, but carefully, and small. To ...

Today I broke too many rules to even count This loss brings me to only $+85 for the week. Certainly could be worse! but tomorrow I will need to follow my rules and re-hash things before the open tomorrow. A loss ...

I love that bear looking in the window! Gave me a good laugh. Sell-off all night it looks like. New low as of around 720am. Bears are back. I'll sell any pop this morning. Generalized game plan.

DOW Futures

So, uhm... I broke a rule tonight Traded the evening session...which isn't my cup-o-tea, but maybe it is actually I'm on it tonight, but I am exhausted and ...

...Bear flags all day long baby! Let's make some money!

DOW Futures

Yeah that's the term I was looking for, bear flag! I was also kinda thinking of another leg down too. Let's see what happens I guess.

DOW Futures

Suckers bounce, dead cat bounce? Trapped longs, bull trap maybe. Where the white circles are (I drew those in), are the suckers bounce. Perfectly fine to scalp long if you are ready for the eventual failure and you get out quickly. I call it that ...

DOW Futures

Done before 11am Great day for shorting. The cards were shown around 9:41 for me, some large sells gave it away. Didn't get this entire leg down, but I kept selling and covering in waves. I'm coming up with my own ...

100% Keep It Simple, Scalper! (KISS) Best of luck today to you, Brixon, and anyone who stops by to read this I'm scalping a bit to the short side at the moment. Gotta check for news now. Waiting for next ...

Good morning RMG & crew Calling it a day here in Corona Town Sold nervously into the open and kept selling, covered for profit and then I sold into that 9am pop, added more, waited it out and ...

I've heard of that book before and hear it's excellent. Probably will be buying it. At a minimum so I can understand the other players better. Any other book recommendations from you guys? A book I recommend, for trading psychology, if anyone is ...

DOW Futures

I know about the scared money feeling, you'll shake it off! Well don't feel bad, I didn't do all that well but finished in the green even after commissions. I almost got stampeded in my last short. The hint to flip my short and reverse to long ...

DOW Futures

Yeah Brixen, I like that term "survivor" ha! Well I hit target profit for today, and this is a flat do-nothing range until it breaks out. Cumulative delta is telling me that size is selling into/absorbing the buying for right now so I slightly favor ...

DOW Futures

A discretionary trader with an edge can definitely rival an HFT Algo! No doubt, because we play a slightly different game and that's all we need really (to make enough money and call it a day). I don't know much about Brixen but I'd love to hear ...

DOW Futures

I Agree Brixen! Every good trader has that "anger stage" regarding HFT's (essentially market makers, but not technically). Then we realized we need to know who's playing the game and to follow their flow to some extent. Credit Suisse is one of them ...
