Just wanted to share something I'm looking at...
This is a chart of the Dow futures 1 min bars, the rectangles are showing the 1min ORB for the start of each 30minute period.
This is quite something, I hope this may spark a light bulb for some readers!
SIMPLICITY is key. ACTION beats overthinking. Just trade what you see Forget everything you think you know about trading.
On the 1min just take the trade as soon as price hits the line, I'm not waiting for a close above or below. I'm in and grabbing what I can before the market can take it back.

I will complete the 20 days or 20 trades (what ever comes first) but I could imagine that this might not be enough in the end to achieve a net profit of +1-2R% (and then continue to do so every month). I assume I need to get more profit out of the winners, make more than 2 entries per day (if the setup allows it), trade more markets or make other adjustments to the risk/money/trade management.
You still don't get it.

Just do the exercise.

You are still results and outcome oriented.

Focus on the process.

Become a process.

You should not care if the trade was +1 or -1.

You should be grading yourself.

Did you follow your rules? Did you enter at the proper level with the proper order type? Did you move your stop in anyway before your rules would dictate doing so? Did you move your TP? Did you oversize? Did you overleverage? What did you feel during the trade? Did you have an IDGAF attitude about the result, or did you find yourself reacting positively when it ticked in your favor and reacting with stress or any negative emotion when price ticked against the position?

You are still locked on outcome, and as long as you stay locked there, you're going to keep failing to get where you want to be.

You should be keeping a spreadsheet, of course. But its primary purpose is to generate ideas, gauge effectiveness of your money management plan. Have a notes column.

Examples of an idea that I've explored as a result of spreadsheeting my 20 trade exercises:
"What if I only traded the long trades?"
"What if I only take the first trade of the day and never stop and reverse?"
"What if I trade the breakout rather than wait for a close outside of the range?"

You have to approach this as a scientist, and a good scientist develops hypotheses, designs plans to test said hypotheses, and then, after a sufficient sample size, proves, disproves, or revises herhypothesis for further testing. The scientist doesn't get emotionally attached to the results of her experiments but remains firmly rooted in following the scientific method until she finds the solution to the problem that she set out to solve.

{quote} This is my first experience with futures. I'm curious to see if the costs are cheaper than my previous CFD brokers. Edit: I see, $23465.00 initial margin to trade ES E-Mini S&P 500 with NinjaTrader. Thats too much for me right now. With my CFD Broker it's $300 and leverage 1:25 to trade the smallest position size (0.01 lots). Quiet a difference.
Day trading margins with Ninja significantly less. That initial margin is to open a trade and hold it open into the next day.

{quote} Thanks, I just saw I was looking for the big brother. For the Micro, the minimum deposit is $2347.00.

Great.

However, the thread is getting quite bloated with Noisy non-fixed bar posts. Again, keep the thread to the method and start a journal for all you personal issues.

Must say

I keep reading your post
Page 65 post 1291
you seem to have a much different attitude now
from the days of $100 a pip
You have trading experience and good with all things computers
so Why are you only testing one method at a time
Long long time ago I had a mate, who had a mate ,who could crack anything (alas both not with us now)
He tested every method that came on the market
formed a League Table to find the top 3 which he traded
then when something new appeared it had to beat one of his top 3 before he would trade it
?
ps
Not sure Why the good guys on here are trying to help you
When you are fighting them every step of the way
my own thoughts about you are are Hmmmmmm

{quote} The last thing in my interest is to fight with people here. If I've given that impression, I'm sorry. I'm just trying to describe my impressions and experiences objectively and factually, and where I might need help. Yes, I'm probably anything but stupid, but so far, knowledge in this business hasn't helped me achieve my goals, nor has the disciplined execution of a plan.
Bye bye.

I didn't want to do it but I gave ample and fair warning.

This is not the "Days of Noisy's Life," It is the Pricebob thread for Pricebobbers.

How do you ever expect to become a consistently profitable trader when you can't even control your participation i a trading forum thread?

I placed Noisy on ignore.

That should bring down the noise level here a thousand-fold.

I decided to show you one of my fixed range techniques for the last 4 days. There is a hint in it why I try to squeeze as much as I can from each trade. After I realize that MM is "the edge"(together with control of the MindF*ck), I spend about 4 years on researching, studying, analyzing statistics as it related to various ways of Money Management.

Green lines indicate how positive or negative trades went for or against me. Lowest DD was at - 4.2%. This strategy brought +3.2% this week so far.

It looks similar, except I draw a box, you have lines. What are those targets based on? Looks like 50 100 150 200 250 % of reference candle size?
