Classic, Simple, Effective.

50 MA is fantastic to determine trend!

Great thing about this thread is that it encourages individual traders to figure out what we are comfortable using as trend direction and entries.

Thanks D

I've been sticking to the ES in the Early Session

Slow mornings this week, with the big moves coming in the Late Session after I am already closed and enjoying the life beyond the trading desk. I managed to net 7 1/2 points thus far, which is just under 30 ES ticks, or the equivalent of 75 YM ticks so far this week.

Yeah the mornings can be slow but a lot of good opportunities

What time is the ES early session for you in eastern time?

9:30 AM to 11:30 AM I consider "Prime Time," but I will look for trades as early as 8:30 AM and as late as 12 noon. All times are Eastern. If I get nothing in the morning, then I will sometimes come back after lunch and I will trade the afternoon "PrimeTime," which for me is 13:30 to 15:30.

Oh wow. Same here, I usually wait for about 1pm gmt then look for pull backs. However I have been eye balling the UK session and there seems to be at least one easy trade every day ( win or lose) , Simple breakout and retest trades

Haven't posted much lately been focusing on making some coin. The interesting thing about trading pullbacks within a trend is there are a variety of ways to do it even using indicators who Woulda thought

Maybe we'll see a test of yesterday's low if we see sellers move price below this bear flag-like trendline. NFP tomorrow ... we sometimes just stagnate until the number.

Yep.... but I've stripped it down almost butt naked, my chart looking like the one dd just posted.

Must be 'cos I got me a suntan in Costa Rica last week...

We all seem to oscillate (pun intended) around putting the indis on, taking 'em off, on, off.... but I think most of us have reached the stage where they don't make any difference, they just keep our right brains occupied & engaged while we wait for pullbacks etc etc ETCETERA ...

According to me, I traded this morning's Bund session (which for me is max 2 hours) perfectly.

Stuck in a 21 tick consolidation range, guess how many trades I took ?
