Es need to open above 68 for bull to take off !!. Opening below 67.75 give bears a chance to take out overnight low 64.75 and to 63.75 (3 day pivot) below that 59 comes into play. This may be balance day. if we open above 63.75 and below 70.00
(1) we chop around here before fomc
(2) take out onl and bounce of 63.75 (Value are low)
(3) we take out onh and get 70 (VAH) for a nice short to come back in value. Ofocurse ticks are important and will be watching all the secondary signals especially Russell and crude

Hi all,
I finally have decided to start my journal here after reading and trying to post in every ones journal. My story is PATHETIC. Hopefully once I become like Rory, MLM,Inlet, Big Mike, I can open my DUMB self. I am ee with a phD, and trying to get success in this trading business. My biggest issues is not understanding the market but to to battle against my emotion and my logical side. I just don't know how to get rid of that issue. My sim account makes more money than my real account (actually real account looses). And I do take care of making sure the sim account takes care of order being filled for eg if i am interested in buying at 60.25 i put it to buy at 60 on my sim account. But slippage, cannot help it. The other issue I have is how to average in. My emotions overcome me and I average in quickly. Sometimes I get stubborn on a trending day. 99% i have been right and been able to average in and get out with a small gain. But in my sim I end up reversing and has a bigger gain. I am hoping you guys will help me how to trade mechanically in my real account like do i my SIM account. AND BTW, if I make mistake in my writing, I have reading and writing disability.
Finally I need to get rid of TOS, though I have been able to use that successfully in my SIM. Need to get Ninja..
My Trading system:
Mostly ES currently
Pretty Much identical to most here
(a) look at profile-VAH, VAL...
(b) Look at VWAP
(c) Look at termination of contracts at critical points
(d) Opening Range (to establish my bias)
(e) recently added pre-market range-experiment on the way
(f) Volume exhaustion
(g) watch the ticks
(h) watch the spread between es/ym/nq
(i) bonds
(j) floor traders pivot and support
(k) look at the top stock- IBM, DJTI, FANG, Banks..
(l) on ES look for a 10 handle range from lows in RTh
So starting Monday will be posting my thoughts instead of just reading everyone's and posting in their journal.
SEEE YA ALL SOON and REGULARLY

Good luck with this, I think you will absolutely smoke it once you get the hang of your live account. Woman make better traders than men but Im also biased because my wife is better than me.

ES 04-05 critical area for than the bulls have failed. watch if we below that price and dont spend much time below.. for the bulls need to open tomorrow above that price for the rally to continue.. we have been one time framing for 10 months. so i keep thinking a correction is due. But alas.

flattened at 13 looks like 17 in the cards? Poor high and POC moved up. Mistake I made, Small IB, could have been a trend day. And it was one time framing till R2. All signs of trend day. and end of month and end of quater- buliish. should have held my long longer.
For Monday
Poc is at 14.25 we have built value higher. A short at R3 18.75 is in order to cover at POC/or VAL.

Hi all,
But in my sim I end up reversing and has a bigger gain. I am hoping you guys will help me how to trade mechanically in my real account like do i my SIM account.

wishing you only luck. But will also tell you since you brought up SIM.

If you trade exactly the same way when you are in SIM...means take a loss....do not add-in etc and treat it as Real $s. yr results should be EXACT as in Live. I have never ever done a Limit Order in the futures market so I do not care about slippage. But thats just me. However there was a time fe yrs back where i went back to SIM...and traded it with respect and all emotions of being right/wrong when i was Live.

it can be done."Work-Believe-Execute. Dream...Dream Big..Never Give UP....is what I go with"

enough of my gibberish....n wish you only the best.
