Well, I held a little longer than normal, but I didn't get the whole 30 point run! haha...
What a beauty! What a beauty.

I'm surprised you didn't take a single long today.
The sound on your videos is really low most of the time. Today I couldn't hear you at all.

Sorry about that, will fix the Mic.
I guess I realized the trend was down. Finally? There was I think clearer trading much later in the day as far as the Indicators in my opinion!

Yes, I have been focusing on trying to figure out how to find that trend without getting mixed up. If things get volatile again like a few years ago, then I would like to get into those larger runs. Been looking at a few different things to see it from a different perspective. The key is to keep the small stops and hit the trends...
Horst is great...
I don't know how he squeaks the 1.5
points every day off the ES, but he does... Amazing to me. Imagine doing that with 400
contracts .
The ES reminds me of trying to dance with a lubricated alligator. haha...
TF like a sassy Argentine dancing the Tango and needing a lead partner!
Where are you catching Horst's videos, please.

Well, I was traveling today and caught a glimpse of a significant drop, so I will not get the opportunity to trade it fresh. Might miss tomorrow as well. Interesting days it seems.

This is my best day in a very long time. The volatility was immense which was quite beautiful!
I made a couple mistakes fighting the trend early on! What was I thinking. I got stuck on the hidden divergence and kept thinking long for some reason after the open!
Dangerous mistakes, but lesson learned and I decided to take a late entry on a breakout to see if I could get some points back. I have never seen a move the upside like what happened later today. All I can say is WOW....
Times like these I just need to hold em'!

Look through the attachments on this thread and you will find the indicator from Fattails.
I use the default from this indicator.

I probably could have been up as much as 15 points had I traded large stops, but that could easily work the other way as well! I couldn't discover the pivot , and have time for the other 2 seconds to click the button before it took off like a rocket ship.
I was able to find the slower entries and get those which were a little more uncertain, but in the end, it really didn't matter on a day like this. The reward was there.
