Sold 981
fwoo, glad i covered 980
i have to say this ES cue bouncing around like YM today
Up 4.25 on the day... patiently waitng ... u know the area! 5 min boll. avg 978.25, and 1 min avg. 980.50 providing a measure of support.
I don't have my MP fired up but I wonder where the Developing VA was when you took this short...? Mp traders will sell the DVAH on the first retest after breaking the IB low

The reason I shorted was $ticks at the high of day, ES almost at sq nine 993 but was going into it stalled, and 1 min RSI almost exhausted. Covered 983.75 +5.25

Hit was higher at 997 for DVAH nothing in profile was close a daily number there at 993.82

YEAH, Joe .. as i said i did! But i was sure it could be mastered and after using every system known at the time , i decided to be my own 'expert' and develop my own thing! been fine ever since!



Well said, You can hear it a million times but its whats needed...a system. I am counter trend trader most of the time so its a given that you'll draw down a fairly large amount at times. But my draw downs are smaller than my winners, and once losses occur I go smaller on contract size and then add back to it when things go back to normal. I don't need a new system I just wish I knew how to flip the counter trend trader off and turn on the trend trader in an instant.
