Good luck! You'll get it this time. I think E2T is better than TS cuz you only have to reach the profit goal once unlike TS where you have to reach it twice.

You still doing 1 minute charts?

yes, although as time goes by i seem to be relying more on just sensing the tick by tick momentum where i'm anticipating a move, based on the look of the 1min chart and the crutches (indicators) i'm still using. Hope you're continuing to do well.

good to see a lot of new interest in the board. out for past 2 weeks dealing with medical issues, full recovery imminent. decided on sim trade
this morning, the 5min chart Mags style. since market conditions are out of range for safe money management and I need to get back in the
groove. plus 30.5T on 4 micro es. looked at gaps to fill as main entry/exit points. wide stops etc on this type of trade, not my style. but just
testing theory, be back to 1-2-3 once volatility dies down some.
good luck
regards

I'm back on the MES because that MNQ is a bit zippy for me still. Also I let it distract me from my goal: Trading well enough to trade the full sized ES emini contract.

Today had a +1 point, or +4 ticks on a trailing stop on my first trade, and then +10 points, or +40 ticks for my goal of +10 points. So +44 ticks today. I'm only trading one contract. Both were long trades today.

Frustrating day. Spent over an hour stalking various trades that never hit my entry. Was able to finish with something at least!

i wonder if we'll get out of this range. a couple of 123s to be had still. i just got to my computer, so i did not get them. I bet Harold did.

grabbed 11 T on a 1=2=3 early. forgot to increase trade size, must still be in recovery mode. holding off for a bit, see what shakes out
in the next half hour or so.
good luck

I hate Fridays, been out of sorts this week with a dreadful cold but still green on the days I traded. If I'd realised it was Friday I'd have left it after that decent trade. Trying catch that big move, but just couldn't get there. Bloody slippage, its like trading forex these days.

'in less than half an hour he made over 100 ticks'

  • Edited 11:06am Oct 16, 2020 9:43am | Edited 11:06am
I waited for breakout after 10 AM news. Put a limit at 3493 and ToS did not fill me when price came back below. It was as though they did not accept the order even though the order was on the DOM. I cancelled order and bought at market. Filled at 3496.25. Stuck to my 10 point profit target script and made my +10 points at 3506.25, which is +40 ticks.

I have had a lot of problems with Think or Swim lately with orders. Charts are great. But orders have been hanging up and commissions are high. I pay almost 1 whole point round turn on the micros! I pay $4.94 round turn versus $0.74 or $1.14 round turn with AMP depending on which data and platform I choose. That will be big difference because now I need +4 ticks to break even, but at AMP, either platform will letme break even with just +1 tick. I decided I will be going with AMP. I will fund next week.

Done for the week and grateful for a good week.

..went into today with the 'watch out it's friday' mindset and found it a trickier battle than previous sessions this week. That said, the last trade put me just above the TopStep Pro Account target (5k), so it's now onto their premium funded account which will take a while for them to set up (1-2 wks).

Premium funded costs (NQ): Per RT $2.68 plus $105/mth CME fee (pro trader rules apply apparently), plus they take a 20% profit split.

The plan will be to build the account (no withdrawals) and then move to a non-professional broker account.

Have a great w/e and keep well everyone.

Day 4 Couldn't find my barring and went 0/3. Fortunately I kept my losses small.
