That was quite an upward spike, FW!

 

I wanted to short 440 from the beginning, but I was typing a post here (other thread) while we went up there. The spike was on ISM news... often good for a reversal entry imo.

out -15

 

Bloody hell firewalker,

 

What are you doing, I watched this one since I read your PM, your head is somewhere else today, you're not trading as usual.

 

That should have been a scratch at worst.

ehm... thanks, I think :)

seriously, it's good that a neutral observer tells me this! often they are better at spotting these things than I am myself

 

However, in this particular case, I think I just put my stop 5 points too close because I wanted to "go" for a an early entry(*). I'm still convinced that shorting 440-450 is the right thing to do though...

 

(*) reason being I have to leave in 20 minutes :roll eyes: which probably explains the haste in taking an entry I otherwise would've waited a bit longer for

Guess you were absolutely right... Glad I only lost 15 points on that.

That's me done for today!

Hey,

i apologise now as i haven't posted these live (been dealing with people moaning in the the office...)

 

Long from 1379.25, just as i'm typing, exit trager reached at 1385.25

 

The trade setup is what i call and pass through edge trade. Yesterday in I period of the profile we broke down forming new value in the market with a value high of 1381.25 and a value low of 1377.25 with the POC at 1379.25.

 

Market opened below value, traded up, but traded straight through the value area low, the poc and hit resistence at the value area high, traded back down to the POC being 1379.25, which was bought.

 

That people is my pass through setup, which i have found to be an extremely strong setup when they happen. Also the added benefit is, when you trade a retest of a POC and it fails, the POC faliure tends to set up and pass through setup, meaning you claim back your loss from the failed retest, plus the profits of the trade.

 

As for the exit of 1385.25 - The value area was 4 handels. 1381.25 plus 4 handels = 1385.25 - It's a measured move.

 

Total profit for the trade - +6 pts on ES

 

For some reason it won't let me share my charts, so i'll post a screen shot when i get time. Back to ungrateful clients for me :roll eyes:

Just another quicky on measure moves. Market never really makes more than three moves, normally get a reversal after two moves. So after 1385.25 look to see how the market reacts to 1389.25 area and 1393.25 area.

 

Kev.

Just another quicky :)

 

1389.25 is also the POC of the first value area of yesterday A through to H period. High probability trade to short off. Got my order sat waiting.

Hi I see you are a professional futures trader interesting...

not a sit at home one like some of us.

 

Like many on here I only chatted to other on FW's little closed community thread on T2W and did not venture out into the big world of Public T2W threads... so got a few new people to get to know..now that we are all together on TL...

 

Cheers

David

missed my order by one tick, but its nice to see the value area of yesterday A-H with the poc around 1389 held nicely for a short. The exit target of 1382 has just been reached for round 6 - 7 pts profit on ES

 

Shame i didn't get filled, but at least i was right :)

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful.
