Colonel B

Here is the problem Josh. First off I am a Futures Trader. I trade to make a living. I don't have another job or some sort of supplement income like so many others here. SO I have to trade and post and that is very difficult to me. You immediately lose credibility (as you should) for posting late and in retrospect. So any trade I really like I take. As for being a jerk... Well when some one posts a system that looks like a monkey humping a football I am going to laugh about it. I am going to say that it looks like a monkey humping a football. I understand because everyone has been taught to invent something that fits them. I am doing some thing different. I am doing something opposite. Its not personal to me if my stuff fails or blows up in my face. It is personal to the person I laugh at. As for "ideas" maybe you don't know what systems I use to trade. Here is a list for you and anyone else. Feel free to PM me for more details. I use Order Flow. Not the bullshit order flow that you see all over here. But real order flow where you can guess where the stops are and take advantage of it. I use Market Profile and Volume Profile. These 2 are pretty explanatory. I use correlated markets. I use the bonds, notes, and ES to trade the bonds. Maybe the reason you don't see any ideas is because so far I haven't seen ANYONE who trades like this. No one on this forum. Who else uses MP and VP along with correlated markets and thrown in really good order flow that you can use? Folks here struggle with just 1 market with just one of these so called methodologies. And one more thing I want to address that has come up in the last few days. Something near and dear to me. This wont change and if it does please quote this and feel free to rub it in my face and call me what ever you want. I AM NOT GOING TO SELL ANYTHING AND I AM NOT SELLING ANYTHING!!!!! I trade for a living and I will let the chumps here do all the selling.

You didn't roll yet????? Hey they are quoting H in the pit and have been since yesterday.

Not sure if "predict" is the right word. But hey when buyers or seller get too slong or too short it will break consolidation. We call these "head fakes" in the ES. Sometimes you get double head fakes were it will go 2 ticks through a range then 2 ticks through the other. Its like what 4 point range in the ES today? I think just about anything will work today and just about every thing will lose today because of the range

and here is the impending result

Same pattern just only long this time.

This will happen or do it again.

I predict that every time this pattern happens

So far I haven't seen any cover your ass trade calls in the last 2 days. As a matter of fact I think if you look at the time stamps you will see that there is no cherry picking. Even the red dice guy who IMO I believe clearly ripped off the software he is trying to peddle didn't put up any cover your ass posts. I don't know if the guy is actually trading because I don't have access to his account but for a guy who is trying to peddle some software that is so amazing it looks like to me in the last 2 days he got hammered. I think he even said he had to stop because he took too many losers. Do you go to urban dictionary? You should go there and check it out. It might help you out on your quest. Here are some examples for you. 1. Trolling The art of deliberately, cleverly, and secretly pissing people off, usually via the internet, using dialogue. Trolling does not mean just making rude remarks: Shouting swear words at someone doesn't count as trolling; it's just flaming, and isn't funny. Spam isn't trolling either; it pisses people off, but it's lame. 2. Trolling Trolling is trying to get a rise out of someone. Forcing them to respond to you, either through wise-crackery, posting incorrect information, asking blatantly stupid questions, or other foolishness. However, trolling statements are never true or are ever meant to be construed as such. Nearly all trolled statements are meant to be funny to some people, so it does have some social/entertainment value. 8. Trolling deliberately arguing with complete fallacies on forums, comment threads, or message boards to get leets and other users pissed off by the troll's "ignorance." JOB WELL DONE!!! or MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!!! or what ever you guys say under the bridge.

Lets build a car. First thing is you cant use a steering wheel. You can only build it with 3 wheels. It has to have the body of a 97 Ford Tarus. We are going to sell this to the public world wide and compete with the other major car manufactures and make money All of the parts must be available world wide. The frame of the car must be made completely of "robustness" Don't tell me how to build it because I want to develop my own strategy. I believe that there are many ways to make a good solid car because of all the different companies, models, and brands so my business needs to reflect my beliefs. Building a business and a car can be accomplished by any creative means and requires no structure or standard. If this is how you build cars or a businesses then good luck to you. Good luck competing against others in the industry. The fact is that if you want to use what is available to everyone world wide as the standard then you will lose. The reason is that the game isn't that way. Internet alone will provide an advantage over others. The speed of computers will provide another advantage over others. There are folks that are using fiber optic and I7 or better comps for platforms and executions. If you want to use a mid range comp that lags with internet that is falls off every once and a while then good luck. Having a seat is another advantage. A cheaper broker is another. Some guy trading in India with one monitor with a pig slow PC with slower then averaged internet with a broker that is charging him an international rate can't compete with me even if we are doing the same thing. Hard to say if longer time frames give better signals. If you are using something solid that works no matter the time frame then longer time frames wont give better results and they should give the same results. If you are using something that is more time frame specific then yes you could get better results (if you adjusted for larger time frames) and no you could get worst results(if its adjusted for smaller time frames). If you are using something that doesn't use time as a major part then yes you could get better results and no you might not because time would have less meaning. You are going to get folks that consider themselves swing traders and will swear that they get better results then their counter parts and you are going to have folks that use a 1 sec chart and swear that their system is superior. I guess I need a bit more context. Does getting long a daily low work better or worst then getting long a weekly or monthly low? Depends on the context. Some times a daily low works for 3-5 days and the then it fails. And so if the monthly low fails on the same day as the daily low fails does that mean that daily lows work better then monthly? There really is and ever has been one "edge" that traders had and will ever continue to have. It was the "edge" that traders had in the pit and what traders have today. I bet it was the same "edge" they had in Japan when futures where invented. The "edge" traders in the pit had wasn't the 50 MA or even the 200 MA. Hope that helps and adds to the convo

I think its a big deal what just happened in the ES. I am trying to show what I think is happening and what direction it will go and I am trying to get the posts in time so they are time stamped so no one says I cherry picked winners. Right before my posts the consensus was long and I wanted to post the changes so other could see what I see and possibility learn something. I am going to post pics I am taking after the move has completed..

I have no crystal ball. The one thing I will do if I am wrong is admit I am wrong. I maynot post it here. My friends and family know that is one thing they can count on. If I am coming across as a D bag I am sorry its nothing personal and I will do what I can to change it. My sincerest apologizes.

looks like momentum traders getting long. Bad prices ??? We will see

But I wish I was still on the 2x at the top. I cut my winners quick and cut my losers even quicker.

its happening right now and im trying to get pics so I can post. Stops are going to get hit. My guess right now is that we go up before we go down. But we could break and go down instead of going up. Ultimately I think down is the direction for now but maybe not right away.

This post must be 20 characters.... And was changed do to another members suggestions.

33.75 closed just now. Now lets see if it hits 28 in the next 24 hours.

I just saw 200 come in and another 218 come in some one is trading maybe you meant you are on hold

SOOOOOOOO TRUE!!!!!!! I can post HUNDREDS of charts showing this phenomenon. I saw some one try to post some over night bar chart to refute this. LOL Its short term players moving the market not the big players. Or big players indirectly move markets. The sign for me every time I take a trade no matter what level or line or magic box I use is to see if there is a jam up of other players. So if I am wanting to get long I wait to see a ton of sellers come in at a price and then go long. This is why I mostly trade the bonds.

It looks like to me that traders are getting long the VAH and shorting the 2x. How long will it last? Can't last forever

If we get to 33.75 then the single will close and we will most likely make new lows. This may happen overnight or tomorrow. Right now the 2x is holding by 3 ticks so that could be the high for the rest of the day and it just builds in this range.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! I came over here because I saw your posts in another thread and I see this. This looks like a very poor rip off of MARKET DELTA. Here is the link in case you don't know. Home . You even use the same words that Trevor uses when he is trying to sell MARKET DELTA. So really what does your ripped off piece of software do that is different or better then what MARKET DELTA does already? Actually in fact you can send people to this websight to help them understand how to use and read your software better. FootprintChart.com LOL Well now that part is out of the way I can get on to the other points. This way you are looking at the market is by far the best way of looking at a market. I wish we had more people using the FOOTPRINT so we could have more discussions on markets. I am just going to come out and call it the footprint instead of Team Alpha Super Awesome Cool Dynamite Wolf Squadron or whatever you are calling it. But seriously this will allow you to see traders getting trapped and get you out of bad trades with only 2-4 tick stop outs. That is way better then the whole retail market has to offer and you can do it with an addon in Ninja. I don't know if you are a genius or crazy or maybe both. Who knows if you sell it and I dont have to pay a monthly subscription and it does what Market Delta does then maybe you will see my name on the sign up sheet.

Yea all my trades end up that way. They are never as much as they could be. I get around that feeling by adding size.

Trend trading is not the same as trading momentum. But hey its your account trade it how you like

there is some 1.5 love for ya. Its coming off now. Yea forget that trend trading garbage. Way better to be a full on counter trend trader
