I'm taking Skid's advice and looking beyond scalping.


WTG Jeff,

I think if you trade more than one contract. Get to breakeven +1 after
first contract is filled, especially if its a NR7 day. And let it ride!

Trading Futures and FX is "Financial Darwinism". Only the fittest will survive. Failure to understand this at the deepest logical and emotional level will aid in your demise. See Signature below.

Just got 2 pts on an ES trade that looks exactly like Jeff's first YM trade in his last chart, the one after the double top. Took is on a 500 tick chart. On the 4 range the double top isn't visible.

Thanks for sharing Jeff!

Hey Cunparis,

The only difference was that I had a double top in play. It might be safer to have some sort of reversal pattern set up. In this case a lower high would be nice.

I called it a double top, the 2nd top was 2 ticks above but quickly reversed back down. so I figured it was close enough. I didn't post my other timeframes but I had support for a short on the next higher timeframe (1500 tick). Also note the HVC at the first top, showing professionals had went short. Overall it was an almost perfect setup for me.

But this is what I know to do, to trade. I have no other skills and I want to trade and to make a living of it. I read many books, all the posts here and other places and even blow up my $3000 account as many great trades did when started.

Is the donation realy a must? this place cost like $190-$250 to run a month and with already over 1400 members and 30% of them pay the $20 its like a very nice income not a need to support the site....

Just a couple of trades this morning.

I was thinking about what Cunparis has been talking about.....are far as people posting their "real" trades rather than just theorizing. I think that there is room for both. I don't mind people talking about their set ups..... but it's also nice to see it in action. That means the Ninja entries and exits......no BS.

Just my 2 cents.

Jeff
