Trades from 7/9/2012

Here is my trading from today on the e-mini's. I didn't like the way the NQ was unfolding, but the YM jumped out at me once the ES made it's way into 15m DP support.

NQ for 6/27/2012

Today was a quieter day for me on the NQ overall. On the one hand, there was continued strength at the open as the market rallied to new highs early, but on the other hand, the 15m appeared to be...

Hi John,

You're absolutely right that the 15m charts were a little bit tricky yesterday, and it's a very good rule to be cautious or even refrain when things are not as clear as you personally...

Why position sizing matters

Just for fun, I have recently decided to begin keeping a record of following just the "standard" MTPredictor setups in the 3m NQ, very similar to what John has been doing with the 3m YM.
