| | Today I took my first real trade after some time.
I failed somehow on my exit based on my rules.
Also I think, that I am lacking a little bit of sleep,
so I decided to maybe just sim trade today,
or just sleep some more.

| | Bathrobe - on some of your charts you mention that trades have divergence (specifically in your post on page 97). Just curious what you use to confirm divergence. (I took the same trade but wasn't using any indicator to confirm divergence).
Thanks again for all your posts in this forum and actually providing the charts to show where your entries are. That is truly invaluable information I can't say i've ever seen replicated anywhere else. |

I use 5m,15m 30m, 4range and 1000vol, charts to get signals from.

| | Is this thread all sim? Is it pretend? It's funny how barely anyone has a win/loss percent of anything less than 70-80%.
20 out of 21 profitable days? 37 winning trades in a row? I am embarrassed for you if these are supposed to represent real trades.
If you guys are posting this rubbish to solicit traders for your business or something, I am sure you are in violation of CFTC, FinRE rules on communicating with the public. |

| | Nobody is soliciting anything, those that are trading on sim stated they were trading on sim earlier in the thread. The thread is meant as a way to be somewhat more accountable and to become more disciplined.
FWIW I do not think anyone is trading on sim anymore.
Your post has the same skepticism that every post on elitetrader towards trading the ES has, despite this many people can and do make it work | | The Following 4 Users Say Thank You to bathrobe For This Useful Post: | | | |
