I'm not sure any author of any book has been proven to have been successful, but could be wrong there. My favorite technical book has been Reading Price Charts Bar by Bar by Al Brooks. Million Dollar Trader by Don Miller was interesting, ...

Trading book(s) - please recommend if you can

Well, you all sound like smarter people than myself so I guess we'll see. But there have been similar predictions since the beginning of time, none of which have come to pass (yet).

The end of the US stock market is nearing

With no leverage and long time horizon, this is not true (EDIT: based on history of the DJIA/S&P/NQ100). However, if you truly think that the DJIA is going to $5,000, Winston is also correct. There will be much larger problems than simply what to ...

The end of the US stock market is nearing

New all-time low? Inflation adjusted, or just absolute all-time low (below $40)? That seems unlikely.

The end of the US stock market is nearing

So far for today. Took what would have been a reasonable trade had the signal bar been better, was feeling ancy from waiting so long which is never a good reason to do anything. But made up for it on the very clear nested wedges (several ways to ...

Sorry, I'm back. I've been working on adding a new system to trade alongside the ES, in the NQ. It's been through lots of iterations, but have gotten it to where I want it. The goal now is no longer to find setups and increase trades/day, but rather ...

This is what I was looking at, for my own reference, as to overall direction. YM was at the top of its trend channel and had turned, and NQ was at the midpoint of its trend channel and turned. NQ stopped nicely at the trendline. Had a good plan, ...

Mixed bag today, NQ distracted from YM trading, but overall profitable. +34 on YM, +88 on NQ, and +7.25 points on ES. Switched back to NT8, decided it is actually better. image image image

Too bad i can't sell my platform back, buy it again, and then trade commission free for a few months -

50 points is fantastic! Had a reasonable day here. I had a great idea to short the top of YM, but couldn't hang on long enough. Top of a declining daily trend channel and trend channel line overshoot on the hourly. Instead got shaken out, but ...

It's $1.22 RT all-in (0.61 per side) for the free version of Ninja. Or you can pay monthly to lease the platform and get down to $1.02 RT, or buy the platform (which I did a long time ago) and it's $0.82 RT (0.41 per side). url

No trading in ES today, but traded YM instead utilizing a simple method I've been monitoring in SIM and feel is ready. +214 total. Very simply: Trade the first pullback after a trendline break or first LH or HL after a climactic bar. Redraw the ...

Since I purchased Ninjatrader a long time ago (right before I was going to purchase my lamborghini and vacation mansion with my soon-to-be-realized-massive-trading profits that so un-mysteriously never materialized), I get to trade in their lowest ...

Intraday Trading the US Index Futures

Mediocre day with a reasonable first entry that turned to a loss. Then was tricked out of a good trade to have to enter at worse price later. Traded the plan and that's what matters. Would like more time with this bottom as it could turn and provide ...

Hey thanks for posting - talking about your method is certainly fine. I have no experience with using such a tool so would be certainly interested to see more of how you use it -

Missed an important entry, but got two good ones. The second one was going to target the top of the opening range, but then pulled back way too far so exited at a projection of the 1st swing. Might still go up, but travelling today so short day for ...

Please bog it down! Its great reading - I studied Wyckoff for a long, long time, but couldn't create enough right edge of the screen actionable ideas for myself to actually enter trades, which is my own problem, not the teachings. At one point I ...

Crazy day, some good trades, some bad trades. The best trade my target was filled 2 seconds after order entry which is unfortunate as I would have moved that out of the way. Wouldn't have captured that whole move, but the day's low was at least a ...
