That was quite an upward spike, FW!

 

I wanted to short 440 from the beginning, but I was typing a post here (other thread) while we went up there. The spike was on ISM news... often good for a reversal entry imo.

out -15

 

Bloody hell firewalker,

 

What are you doing, I watched this one since I read your PM, your head is somewhere else today, you're not trading as usual.

 

That should have been a scratch at worst.

ehm... thanks, I think :)

seriously, it's good that a neutral observer tells me this! often they are better at spotting these things than I am myself

 

However, in this particular case, I think I just put my stop 5 points too close because I wanted to "go" for a an early entry(*). I'm still convinced that shorting 440-450 is the right thing to do though...

 

(*) reason being I have to leave in 20 minutes :roll eyes: which probably explains the haste in taking an entry I otherwise would've waited a bit longer for

Guess you were absolutely right... Glad I only lost 15 points on that.

That's me done for today!

Hey,

i apologise now as i haven't posted these live (been dealing with people moaning in the the office...)

 

Long from 1379.25, just as i'm typing, exit trager reached at 1385.25

 

The trade setup is what i call and pass through edge trade. Yesterday in I period of the profile we broke down forming new value in the market with a value high of 1381.25 and a value low of 1377.25 with the POC at 1379.25.

 

Market opened below value, traded up, but traded straight through the value area low, the poc and hit resistence at the value area high, traded back down to the POC being 1379.25, which was bought.

 

That people is my pass through setup, which i have found to be an extremely strong setup when they happen. Also the added benefit is, when you trade a retest of a POC and it fails, the POC faliure tends to set up and pass through setup, meaning you claim back your loss from the failed retest, plus the profits of the trade.

 

As for the exit of 1385.25 - The value area was 4 handels. 1381.25 plus 4 handels = 1385.25 - It's a measured move.

 

Total profit for the trade - +6 pts on ES

 

For some reason it won't let me share my charts, so i'll post a screen shot when i get time. Back to ungrateful clients for me :roll eyes:

Just another quicky on measure moves. Market never really makes more than three moves, normally get a reversal after two moves. So after 1385.25 look to see how the market reacts to 1389.25 area and 1393.25 area.

 

Kev.

Just another quicky :)

 

1389.25 is also the POC of the first value area of yesterday A through to H period. High probability trade to short off. Got my order sat waiting.

Well what do you want to know? ;)

 

 

Hi I see you are a professional futures trader interesting...

not a sit at home one like some of us.

 

Like many on here I only chatted to other on FW's little closed community thread on T2W and did not venture out into the big world of Public T2W threads... so got a few new people to get to know..now that we are all together on TL...

 

Cheers

David

missed my order by one tick, but its nice to see the value area of yesterday A-H with the poc around 1389 held nicely for a short. The exit target of 1382 has just been reached for round 6 - 7 pts profit on ES

 

Shame i didn't get filled, but at least i was right :)

    • Back in the early 2000s, Netflix mailed DVDs to subscribers.   It wasn’t sexy—but it was smart. No late fees. No driving to Blockbuster.   People subscribed because they were lazy. Investors bought the stock because they realized everyone else is lazy too.   Those who saw the future in that red envelope? They could’ve caught a 10,000%+ move.   Another story…   Back in the mid-2000s, Amazon launched Prime.   It wasn’t flashy—but it was fast.   Free two-day shipping. No minimums. No hassle.   People subscribed because they were impatient. Investors bought the stock because they realized everyone hates waiting.   Those who saw the future in that speedy little yellow button? They could’ve caught another 10,000%+ move.   Finally…   Back in 2011, Bitcoin was trading under $10.   It wasn’t regulated—but it worked.   No bank. No middleman. Just wallet to wallet.   People used it to send money. Investors bought it because they saw the potential.   Those who saw something glimmering in that strange orange coin? They could’ve caught a 100,000%+ move.   The people who made those calls weren’t fortune tellers. They just noticed something simple before others did.   A better way. A quiet shift. A small edge. An asymmetric bet.   The red envelope fixed late fees. The yellow button fixed waiting. The orange coin gave billions a choice.   Of course, these types of gains are rare. And they happen only once in a blue moon. That’s exactly why it’s important to notice when the conditions start to look familiar.   Not after the move. Not once it's on CNBC.

    • What These Attacks Look Like There are several ways you could get hacked. And the threats compound by the day.   Here’s a quick rundown:   Phishing: Fake emails from your “bank.” Click the link, give your password—game over.   Ransomware: Malware that locks your files and demands crypto. Pay up, or it’s gone.   DDoS: Overwhelm a website with traffic until it crashes. Like 10,000 bots blocking the door. Often used by nations.   Man-in-the-Middle: Hackers intercept your messages on public WiFi and read or change them.   Social Engineering: Hackers pose as IT or drop infected USB drives labeled “Payroll.”   You don’t need to be “important” to be a target.   You just need to be online.   What You Can Do (Without Buying a Bunker) You don’t have to be tech-savvy.   You just need to stop being low-hanging fruit.   Here’s how:   Use a YubiKey (physical passkey device) or Authenticator app – Ditch text message 2FA. SIM swaps are real. Hackers often have people on the inside at telecom companies.   Use a password manager (with Yubikey) – One unique password per account. Stop using your dog’s name.   Update your devices – Those annoying updates patch real security holes. Use them.   Back up your files – If ransomware hits, you don’t want your important documents held hostage.   Avoid public WiFi for sensitive stuff – Or use a VPN.   Think before you click – Emails that feel “urgent” are often fake. Go to the websites manually for confirmation.   Consider Starlink in case the internet goes down – I think it’s time for me to make the leap. Don’t Panic. Prepare. (Then Invest.)   I spent an hour in that basement bar reading about cyberattacks—and watching real-world systems fall apart like dominos.   The internet going down used to be an inconvenience. Now, it’s a warning.   Cyberwar isn’t coming. It’s here.   And the next time your internet goes out, it might not just be your router.   Don’t panic. Prepare.   And maybe keep a backup plan in your back pocket. Like a local basement bar with good bourbon—and working WiFi.   As usual, we’re on the lookout for more opportunities in cybersecurity. Stay tuned.   Author: Chris Campbell (AltucherConfidential) Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
