OK handle

Enough :(

You show me yours and I'll show you mine.

Explain your entry / exit strategy and I will teach you the Ambush method.

bobc

 

bobc,

 

I'm sorry bobc but the purpose of this thread is to help me stay disciplined and not to teach or share the setups. You are welcome to contact Joe Ross yourself but I have no permission to share his methods publicly.

 

Are you having success with the Ambush method? Do you post your trading log anywhere so we can see how you perform with it?

 

Thank you,

 

Tony

I would like to make more trades but this approach is slow and steady. I am able to feed my family on it. But if you see setups that I am missing, please share.

 

Thank you.

Hi handle

No problem with the disclosures.Your method is nonsense.Nothing personal.

You can determine my performance on the Gold thread. :)

You might even want to change your method after reading about Gann trading. :(

Wake up. There was another!

 

mr handle

oh ...yawn....you just won't let me sleep..will you?

 

One thing mr handle you are 8/1. Maybe 9/1 soon so if it is nonsense it has a high win rate...all you have to do is up size and some decent money can be made...

 

 

Question for all traders: is it easier to predict probable price 5 miniues from now or one day from now? Or is it equallly as difficult?

Hi Patuca

Its much easier to predict the price 5 minutes from now.

You dont lose so much money when you are wrong

Consider this: the longer time frame the more variables enter into the picture.. War...news...traders sentiment...fed reserve....hft jolts...algo's..etc.

 

A cursory look to the left will have a high probability of telling you where prices will go in the next five minutes...therefore, why do so many want to make big gains by attempting to play for larger moves? The larger moves, by definition, are harder to "anticipate" (since the word "predict" sends many traders into mental convulsions) thus causing the probability of success to be less. I know one is looking for a bigger RR thinkng higher RR is the key to mega $$$ rolling in to ones account. However, once one gets REALLY GOOD at anticipating 5 minute moves it is entirely possible to have an actual RR of 8:1 or 10:1 and on top of that a high win rate.

 

Consider this: a trader only has to average a consistent 2 points per day in the ES and simply up the size to 5 lots. In a year he will have made 120,000.00 - 24,000.00 aproxRT commisions assuming 4 trades per day to get the 2 points. In actuality, many days 1 trade will get the 2 points but just saying if it takes up to 4 trades to net 400.00 per day trading 5 lots. Point to be made is several fold.

 

First, It is easier to anticipate a 1 or 2 point move in the ES over the next 5 to 15 minutes than a 10 to 15 point daily move.

 

Second, you can mathematically have a very good positive traders equation and a very good RR once you get sharp at predicting 2 point moves on 5 minute chart.

 

Third, it is achievable to have a very high win rate doing this.

 

Fourth, many days there will be 4 or 5 or more points gained which will more than make up for losing days.

 

Now, throw in the NQ together with ES and trading 5 lots and capturing 5 point moves (net) day...add this to the points net on the ES......well you get the picture....

 

 

It is easier to make many base hits than home runs in the markets...

 

Of course, I am at the complete idiot level so you might want to take what i say with a grain of salt. It certainly isn't for everyone but with those so inclined it just might work for them if they can get good at it. Many times the points can be made within 30 minutes of the open....

 

Just another dipstick viewpoint.....

Hi Patuca,

 

I disagree with this, although I have respect for the argument you make.

 

Certainly, if you can predict short term price movements with any accuracy then, to put it simply, you'll have a much smoother ride than any longer term trader. If this weren't the case, then all those HFT firms wouldn't bother.

 

But is this possible? If not, then the very first premise of your argument is flawed . . .

 

The more variables that enter into the picture (especially those with high granularity as opposed to major fundamental events like wars), then the more "smoothed" their effect will be. If you look at a weekly chart and there's an uptrend, then this uptrend is the result of opinion in spite of whatever short term fluctuations the influences you list may generate.

 

The shorter the timeframe, the lower the signal to noise ratio.

 

For me, this has a clear consequence: you can trade against short term noise in favour of the long term trend.

 

Example: long term uptrend but news (it's just noise) causes a three day sell-off = buy.

 

Example: long term downtrend but war (it's just noise) causes a brief rally = short.

 

Trade the trend, and fade the noise for great entries!

 

As soon as you move to intraday the difficulty is that the trend (?) is just the noise from the higher timeframes. I imagine there is some sophisticated way to assemble all this (some incredibly complex fractal hedging in multiple timeframes?), but I have stopped looking for it - end of day works well enough.

 

The point should also be made (so I'll make it!) that I may just be cynical because shorter term trading isn't something I myself have had any success with.

 

Finally, a R:R of 1:1 is fine if you have a high win rate.

Like i said it isn't for everyone. A RR 1:1 is bare min. Many times i get RR Like 8:1, 9:1 and more. It all comes down to precise picking where actual risk is so low that it makes the RR ratio very high. Many times, probally aprox 30%, of my trades end up having a 0 risk. Many more end up have a .25 pt or .50 pt actual risk.

 

For instance, say i make 4 points on an ES TRADE. Say after entry the market only actually goes against me by .25 pts before giving me the 4 pts. What is my actual RR ratio? See what i mean?

 

However, initial risk should be at least with a RR 1:1 and better if 2:1 because depending on skills in picking trades math can still take a trader to the cleaners...and will on bad initial RR.

 

High actual RR in short term trading is indicative of good precise picking of trades. In the end what counts mathematically in terms of risks and an account growing is ones actual risk as opposed to ones initial risk. Actual RR ratio trumps initial RR IMO. Math is relentless and in the end determines an account growing or being whittled away.

 

Long term trading generally has a 40% probability of success. Short term can be 60% or 70% and at times more. I actually have a very high win rate.

 

I understand what you are saying on noise. My argument is that noise can be anticipated and is actually easier to predict than longer term price action...because of the fact that it is noise and shows up a such in a chart...that is why reversion systems work on the ES for short term trading...it tends to revert quiet often...

 

Plus on short term trading with size you can make your money and be done very quickly for the day. Many times in the first hour of trading. Not so with end of day trading.

 

My thinking on it is thus: the longer I am in the markets the more risks i assume in terms of probabilities of the market going against me as time slithers by (not dollar risk as that is fixed if i don't move my SL). I am ONLY at risk when i am in the market.

 

Anyway there are generally several ways to skin a cat.......so to speak.....trading also needs to fit ones personality...glad EOD works good for you.. Not sure i could handle it. My main point is that not trying for big move does not exclude one making good money from the markets. Paul Rotter comes to mind who made 65 million or more per year for 10 years scalping 2 to 5 ticks. But again that kind of trading isn't for everyone. I personally like to scalp 1 to 4 points and occasionally will let it run more if PA doesn't indicate large pullbacks. The larger scalps i call swing scalps (when more than one leg..i.e. i hold thru at east one PB)

Well there you have it.

Two well written posts .......Mr Patuca , on scalping/ short term trading

And Mr Horseshoes on longer term/ end of day trading.

Maybe this should be moved to a new thread to allow others to comment

    • Agreed since some of the new traders usually lose money in start and some loses more while chasing their lost money and eventually ends up blaming to their brokers part.
    • The crypto market are also in phase of maturing like the forex and other trading assets so we can do much more accurate analysis than before since early days it was purely a luck if the investments in crypto bears results because most of the coins or tokens never come to fruition. Some early birds were also able to make profits on these tokens or coins. e,g., like turtle coin starts with 1 satoshi and go up to 7 sathoshis, quite good rewards. another token lmgx now hovering at 10 started from 1, 
    • How's about other crypto exchanges? Are all they banned in your country or only Binance?
    • Be careful who you blame.   I can tell you one thing for sure.   Effective traders don’t blame others when things start to go wrong.   You can hang onto your tendency to play the victim, or the martyr… but if you want to achieve in trading, you have to be prepared to take responsibility.   People assign reasons to outcomes, whether based on internal or external factors.   When traders face losses, it's common for them to blame bad luck, poor advice, or other external factors, rather than reflecting on their own personal attributes like arrogance, fear, or greed.   This is a challenging lesson to grasp in your trading journey, but one that holds immense value.   This is called attribution theory. Taking responsibility for your actions is the key to improving your trading skills. Pause and ask yourself - What role did I play in my financial decisions?   After all, you were the one who listened to that source, and decided to act on that trade based on the rumour. Attributing results solely to external circumstances is what is known as having an ‘external locus of control’.   It's a concept coined by psychologist Julian Rotter in 1954. A trader with an external locus of control might say, "I made a profit because the markets are currently favourable."   Instead, strive to develop an "internal locus of control" and take ownership of your actions.   Assume that all trading results are within your realm of responsibility and actively seek ways to improve your own behaviour.   This is the fastest route to enhancing your trading abilities. A trader with an internal locus of control might proudly state, "My equity curve is rising because I am a disciplined trader who faithfully follows my trading plan."

    • SELF IMPROVEMENT.   The whole self-help industry began when Dale Carnegie published How to Win Friends and Influence People in 1936. Then came other classics like Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins toward the end of the century.   Today, teaching people how to improve themselves is a business. A pure ruthless business where some people sell utter bullshit.   There are broke Instagrammers and YouTubers with literally no solid background teaching men how to be attractive to women, how to begin a start-up, how to become successful — most of these guys speaking nothing more than hollow motivational words and cliche stuff. They waste your time. Some of these people who present themselves as hugely successful also give talks and write books.   There are so many books on financial advice, self-improvement, love, etc and some people actually try to read them. They are a waste of time, mostly.   When you start reading a dozen books on finance you realize that they all say the same stuff.   You are not going to live forever in the learning phase. Don't procrastinate by reading bull-shit or the same good knowledge in 10 books. What we ought to do is choose wisely.   Yes. A good book can change your life, given you do what it asks you to do.   All the books I have named up to now are worthy of reading. Tim Ferriss, Simon Sinek, Robert Greene — these guys are worthy of reading. These guys teach what others don't. Their books are unique and actually, come from relevant and successful people.   When Richard Branson writes a book about entrepreneurship, go read it. Every line in that book is said by one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time.   When a Chinese millionaire( he claims to be) Youtuber who releases a video titled “Why reading books keeps you broke” and a year later another one “My recommendation of books for grand success” you should be wise to tell him to jump from Victoria Falls.   These self-improvement gurus sell you delusions.   They say they have those little tricks that only they know that if you use, everything in your life will be perfect. Those little tricks. We are just “making of a to-do-list before sleeping” away from becoming the next Bill Gates.   There are no little tricks.   There is no success-mantra.   Self-improvement is a trap for 99% of the people. You can't do that unless you are very, very strong.   If you are looking for easy ways, you will only keep wasting your time forgetting that your time on this planet is limited, as alive humans that is.   Also, I feel that people who claim to read like a book a day or promote it are idiots. You retain nothing. When you do read a good book, you read slow, sometimes a whole paragraph, again and again, dwelling on it, trying to internalize its knowledge. You try to understand. You think. It takes time.   It's better to read a good book 10 times than 1000 stupid ones.   So be choosy. Read from the guys who actually know something, not some wannabe ‘influencers’.   Edit: Think And Grow Rich was written as a result of a project assigned to Napoleon Hill by Andrew Carnegie(the 2nd richest man in recent history). He was asked to study the most successful people on the planet and document which characteristics made them great. He did extensive work in studying hundreds of the most successful people of that time. The result was that little book.   Nowadays some people just study Instagram algorithms and think of themselves as a Dale Carnegie or Anthony Robbins.
