Analysis

Most trades were taken based off of ES

Take away- I shouldn't have been trying to trade in the slow grind downwards. Too many trapped traders that buying could not overcome. Finally caught my rhythm towards the bottom of the trend.

Lots of solid setups. Unfortunately I lost some confidence this past week so I was mostly just watching the charts. Did take one trade though.

1 Win (+3.75)
Net (+3.50)

Analysis.

I knew I wanted to get long because I could see price being absorbed on ES. The problem is, while ES will remain roughly the same price, YM will continue to peel off until it finds enough liquidity. I need to remember to use another confirmation before jumping in. In this case a simple ABCD would have worked and saved me those two losing trades.

I go through the NinjaTrader brokerage and Dorman as the clearinghouse. There are also a number of trading platforms such as Sierracharts, Jigsaw CQG ect., but I use Ninjatrader.

Also if you are wanting to trade DOW MINI exclusively I would highly recommend checking out the thread "A different Way to Trade" by MR. PIP. He shares a lot of valuable information.

One BE and one -12 on YM so far. Price is kinda hard to read ATM. Seems like some institutions are battling it out right now.

pretty cheap actually. i'm thinking of moving my money elsewhere. amp is good $3.6/rt, but they're small. As you grow, you feel like you're in the radar too much. So i'm shopping around for later.
