Gave back half my /ES profits EOD there. Worth a shot.

Gotta press sometimes (leverage yourself) to make it to the next level.

Didn't work this time but it will.

 

hindsight trading....CL short triggered at 104 which I missed

watching ES go no where

This is a longer string of 2hr bars but my setup is still there.

First we had the close below the level, then 28 hours later...the pullback short entry.

nice 07 entry for /ES

close above, pullback long

too bad I got stopped out last night.

I've lost 3 trades in a row, probably my worst night/day of trading in 4 months. 

I'm long oil right now 104.15

Never got the pullback to 103.72 for entry. Had to go with the move on the break back into monthly rotation. 

If monthly rotation holds, this could be a nice swing flyer.

I know how it goes. You're doing good though. Keep pulling the trigger when you see

your trades hit and then manage your risk. Once the trade goes your way, then manage the trade. 

 

Out with +78 ticks /CL bringing it back to +54 ticks total CL today. 

CL is now my top performer with almost 100 ticks more than ES

Definitely. From my observation, it seems CL trading is better with trading off just price levels as opposed to watching for PA most of the time, especially in the intraday chart. Your magic lines do work wonder!

I want to be able to trade just watching my prices at the top on the labels and hide the lines.

It may take some time but I think I can do it.

You are a 'Futures God' so you can do anything you want. thumbup.gif

 

If you can do that why not just watch the price ladder?

Ichi.. I'm trying to learn auction theory.. 

 

I did some analysis on SPY.. would a break above 142.0 be a buyers auction? And a break below 138.7 a sellers auction?

A break above (142.0) would be a seller and a break below (138.7) would be a buyer, using your numbers. I know your question was directed at Ichi but I consider this a test and Ichi will grade me. laughing.gif

Of course you can do that! As Bob said, you are one allmighty futures god!!! The point I was wondering is, what could be the advantage for you. Most people use that lines as a visual add, that helps them to sincronize price versus leves. Sometimes I consider they work the same way as a "lighthouse" for boats traffic...they give you landmark that help you in your position! Well...just a midlleday thought...lets get back to work!

You got me confused Bob...I thought the same way as Stock King!!!

In a simplistic way if dashed zone is "value zone" or "auction zone" a break above that zone would be a buy, and the oposite the same...

Well you will explaine me later after you wake up and eat your corn flakes!!!

See you all later!
