1 winner 3 losers today. I don't even want to put the charts up because they are embarrassing.. I got in some trouble today in ES got out by -500 made it back in ZW then gave that back and ended up -875. It is what it is on a day like today. Market is always going to be there. Taking tomorrow off I think.

A. I never ever trade late in the day because if you're wrong there is not enough time to recover
B. I was supposed to be done for the day.
C. By the time I realized my chart had not converted over. ( not that it probly would have mattered because I WAS wrong anyway),

Can you see the SM dorks dancing around the office singing "this is how we do it"". I got smooookeddddd on that last ES move and now they are fueling up there G5's with my foooking money.. F$$$ in A!!!

As Tony Montana would say "nex ti mang"

Went out last night to a jam session and got to sit in and play some tunes so I woke up kinda late. Only took one trade in ZW which I turned on my charts and there it was at like 1033. I got up at like 1015. Chart is below.

Nice ... two questions,

1.) What are the levels you keep showing on the ZW trades?
2.) What instrument do you play when UB jammin ?

I'm not sure I understand your question about the levels becks? Do you mean the blue dotted lines?

I play congas, bongo, djembe, & hand percussion instruments.

I was going back over my chart from today to see where it ended up at. I had seen 15 points possible in the trading for this day and damned if it didn't peak out 2 candle later after I got out of my trade.. ahhh well!!! Then it proceeded to retrace for 8 points. Once I can see the retrace coming more clearly I can trade it back down and perhaps get some points. I was happy with the 9.75ish I got today in 3 candles. I am looking forward to learning more so that I can maybe realize the whole 23 that some trade probably got in there today. 23 on 10 cars is a nice day I'd say.

Had a bit of a hard time of it in ES today albeit not taking any losers. ZW was really good and had 3 winners. Ended up the morning with $2725. Charts are down there.

Me too Cloudy. I am getting more and more CP in ZW everyday. My hope is to go back to live trading perhaps next month if I can keep getting better.

I have a friend who is a trader and is trading ZW live IRM everyday so I have a source for volume calls. Not that I traded VSA cuz I don't but it is nice to have someone to confer on movement with.
