This will probably be it for me today as I need to leave at 7:30. Dropped down to the 3M charts to try to get a smaller stop size; these 5M bar sizes are so huge. Both markets, the same trade - the 1a2. Second attempt to go up (or down) after the ...

I really like the simplicity of your method. I think I've tried similar but had trouble defining how to consistently draw such steep trendlines, although I guess it could simply be done as: draw the steepest trendline available from the most ...

Two trades for today and calling it as I need to move on with other things. YM - triangle setup after open, and typically the first break fails so faded the first break. Unfortunately, it pulled back before dropping and took me out, but a good trade ...

I had to take off for a couple hours, but back at the desk now. Wow...

Lower probability 2 leg pullback after trendline break potential long (major trend reversal). Lots of momentum down though, so this is lower probability I'd say than usual.

Out for 10 on the second part. Very strong first leg out of the hole, not sure if we end up getting a second leg back to the opening range, but that trade alone is enough for me today.

Half out on the wedge bottom at the 100% projection of leg one. BE on rest, targeting the start of the wedge for second exit.

Very nice, I've been waiting for a decent pullback (all the pullbacks on the 5M so far would require selling at a new low which I don't like doing). I don't do well in these tight channel trends so have found it best to just wait for larger ...

I too have a career but fortunately am on the west coast of the US allowing me to trade the US open from 6:30 - 9:00 my time before moving on with my day. I'm not sure there's enough movement to trade the indices 'after hours' all that well, but I'm ...

BAM! MIght keep going of course, probably 100 more points. But I have to leave and took 2x risk on the trade. Great day.

Perfect two leg correction on ES at the 100% projection of the first leg. We'll see if this sets up an entry bar or not. Maybe it keeps going. There was a two-leg correction down after the first leg up which could have been the start of the MTR. I ...

Brooks' books are very difficult to read, but I find his end of day blog entries fairly helpful. He marks a whole lot of potential entries for the non-paying general public, but I try to review my session compared to that chart. There was a blog of ...

Finally getting some actual pullback on the 5M. Would love a 2 leg on the ES to short if this pullback behaves itself. It has now poked into the trendline starting at yesterday's drop on the RTH chart, plus broken today's trendline with lots of ...

I'm a big fan of ninja and bought it back when i first started and thought I would get rich quick. Then I blew up the account of course, but still had the lifetime license. So have stuck with it since. So you basically look for a trendline to break ...

Very nice. Are those 1 minute charts? I didn't realize you could get actual futures on MT4, I always see CFDs on MT4.

Anybody else looking at anything?

Tried to get short again, but had to take a BE on the trade. And then of course it went. This does look like its wedging a bit into a low, which could lead to a more tradeable pullback on the 5M. Absent some sort of major strength in a pullback, the ...

It is an ETH chart, but the setup for me was an RTH setup. However, on the ETH chart, it was simply a breakout pullback. So setups on both charts. I guess the exit was a ETH level that I would not have had without the ETH chart. Figured out how to ...

Short - already BE. From the low of the red 1m bar after the big bull bar. this is the 1a2, a second attempt to go down. And out already while i type... +61
