Futures I Trade Show & Brooks Book

Recommended Posts

I would give a slightly different answer to the forex question.

 

Markets tend to behave slightly differently (so, bund trends for more pullbacks then estx for example). The explicit method here is tuned for US equity indexes. To get the most out of it in another market you would need to tune it to that market.

 

I trade something quite like Brook's method and have traded it on HSI, then SPI, and STW, and now back to HSI. I originally started it on GBL and Eurofx during the european session. At each step it has evolved slightly ... and to my surprise the version I trade on HSI now isn't quite like it was before I traded SPI and STW. Markets change too.

Trading is fractal. Anything that "works" works on all timeframes and all efficient markets.

Simplicity is a hard sell.

 

 

Opportunity in all markets and time frames is derived from the order flow.

 

There are only two entry setups to enter that order flow, a breakout or a pullback.

 

Ect.

Well yesterday marked my first 4 weeks of sim trading with No indicators. I've been trading 2 contracts scalping one and letting the other run. I had 14 winning days and 4 losing days and 2 days did not trade. After 151 round turns I am up $1,585.5 after com. not to bad for my first month. My worst day was trading b/w in week 2 with a $475 draw down and 22 round turns, the most round turns in the month. one other day I trade 20 round turns, and was -12.50 for the day + com.

 

Best Lessons of the month,

1 If I am looking really hard for set up, I need to just take a break.

2 Don't trade B/W (some one posted that B/W only starts after noon and around the 20.EMA) that leads me to the last lesson for the month.

3 I Don't tell the market what to do it tells me what to do.

 

Today Is my first day of my next four week cycle and a nice start 7 round turns and +$550 I am done not giving any back today.;)

Here is long with trend setup for EURUSD pair

 

The setup you've shown is very similar to what I'm working with at the moment. I've watched one of the flash videos on this thread, and was a bit confused with the L1-L2-H1-H2 labeling, and didn't want to add any noise to what I was already doing. But if the book is basically what you've shown here, I might have a look at it.

 

I've attached a chart of what I'm looking at now for example.

 

Thanks.

ON another note not really related to trading, I have one of my buddies I've been studying the market with over the past year reading the book.

 

He says, "I feel like i tested into a class I have no business being in."

 

I thought that was funny :rofl:

Mr. Brooks recommends buying H2s and shorting L2s as I see it in your chart (I must have missed a bunch too).

15 min EURUSD setups

 

Here is an EURJPY short from last night. I use range bars for these screenshots, but I typically identify opportunities using a 15 minute bar chart. +37 ticks at first target and +112 ticks at second target (assuming the trade was held for targets with initial stops).

Here are the ES trades I saw for the first 90 minutes.

 

Let me know what you think... The microtrendline was not perfect as there could have been a channel overshoot.

 

L1 barely filled.

That 'ii' could have been taken either direction. You got your scalp portion filled to the long side which came first. Then you could have considered that a failed breakout/long trap and gone to the short side. Either way worked. Some guys I'm trading with did both this am.

 

I think the microTrenline trade was fine (although it really didn't break a TL, but it was a L1), there was momentum there so no reason to not expect follow through, what kept me always was I was hesitant to short into the Globex Low. But I think it was a decent L1 to take with strong momentum.

 

You also missed the best trade of the day, which was the first bar, gap breakout trade.

Could you elaborate on this with a chart.

Do you mean going long on the breakout of the high of the first 5min bar.

If so, would appreciate if you point out the chapter or pages on which Al Brooks explains this strategy. I am still in the first few chapters.

I haven't gotten to the chapter on "The first hour" ... yet.

 

I took the L2 on the pullback which quickly turned into barb wire and stopped me out. The L2 was also a channel overshoot.

 

Here are two nice setups during lunch:

1 contract

$12.50 AFTER Commissions -$40

 

10 trades 3 Winners, 7 losers

 

Got caught in Chop(In hindsight). Chop(Barbwire) continues to be my biggest Problem. Its EASY TO recognize AT END OF DAY, but real time its Hell.

 

No setup to catch the morning Drop UNLESS u chased. Big moves usually happen with no clear setups.. nature of the Beast

Two trades based on price action only. I have not read the Brooks Book, but I imagine from the title that it is price based trading and not indicator based.

 

ES long at 888.25 sell limit 893.50 +21 ticks

 

6E long @ 1.3944 sell limit 1.3977 +30 ticks

 

Best Wishes,

 

Thales

My experience leads me to hold a contrary opinion: Price nearly always telegraphs where it is likely heading, regardless of the extent of that move.

True. Resistance on the ES this morning was at 891-2. Entry was at or about 890. After that, it was a simple matter of following the trend to 882. And only one trade.

 

Good luck tomorrow.

This is the chart analyzed by me after the market close. Of course it's difficult to spot all these trades in real time, but i'm working on it. In the chat room we spotted a few of them, but missed some as well.

 

 

If you have any comments or suggestions, please email me job858@yahoo.com

A few of us are discussing dialy trades in a chat room here called Pure PA

    • It depends. If you have lots of money that you can buy a house without a loan and if you don't have any parents to sponsor then it is a good idea. Otherwise it might be a bad idea depending where in Canada you are heading to. I earned a good middle income in my home country and I migrated to Vancouver 5 years ago at the age of 35. I had to start right from the bottom, lowest of the low.. Now i am finally earning a middle income in Canada but I still cannot afford to buy a one bedroom apartment. Having left behind friends, family and home, most of the times I think it is not worth it.   In short, do not migrate if you already have a good life in your home country and you are happy. Only migrate to Canada if you really have to leave your home country say there is a war or something really bad. Discrimination still exists here and its really tough for newcomers unless you are super rich. Good luck. David Chong, Quora  
    • This is bigger than the internet. Bigger than mobile. Bigger than social media.   While everyone was distracted by stock market fluctuations and political theater…   Most people have NO IDEA what just happened last week with ChatGPT.   Their new memory feature allows ChatGPT to remember EVERYTHING about you across all your conversations.   Think about that for a minute...   While most tech companies have been collecting mere breadcrumbs about you - your likes, your clicks, your browsing history - OpenAI is now collecting the most valuable dataset in human history: your complete psychological profile.   This is Zuckerberg x 5,000.   The more you use ChatGPT, the more it understands you, becoming a supercharged reflection of yourself that improves at an exponential rate.   Are you a regular ChatGPT user?   Consider whether it’s time to turn off the “you can train on my information” feature. To prevent your data from being used for training while still using the memory feature:   Disable Model Training: Navigate to Settings > Data Controls. Toggle off "Improve the model for everyone". Manage Memory Settings: Go to Settings > Personalization > Memory. Here, you can: Turn off memory entirely. Delete specific memories. Use Temporary Chat for sessions that won't be saved or used for training. Now the investment implications…   Why This is Bigger Than You Think Consider this: the relationship between humans and ChatGPT is evolving beyond a mere tool.   People are now treating these AI assistants as friends, confidants, and even romantic partners.   I'm not making this up - there are already documented cases of people ending real human relationships to pursue “connections” with their AI companions.   A viral Instagram meme shows a person going through life with a glowing, featureless humanoid figure - representing ChatGPT - as their companion.   The post has over 1.1 million likes and comments like "Bro ChatGPT is like my best friend. Ain't even ashamed to say it" with 25,000 likes.   But here's where things get really interesting for investors and entrepreneurs...   Three Things to Watch For starters, hardware is the next big thing for the big players.   The iPhone form factor is dead.   It hasn't meaningfully changed in nearly a decade. The next evolution in hardware will be designed specifically to interface with these AI companions.   OpenAI is already working on hardware with Johnny Ive, the legendary designer behind the iPhone and iPod. But you can’t ignore Elon Musk’s edge here.   So what does all of this mean for you?   The companies that control the personal AI relationships will be worth trillions. OpenAI and Elon Musk will have the coziest moats. We're witnessing the birth of a new internet - one built on agents that can communicate with each other across platforms. Google's new agent-to-agent protocol allows AI agents to work together without sharing internal memories or tools. The hardware companies that create the perfect interface for these AI companions will dominate the next decade of technology. And almost nobody is talking about what this means.   My prediction? Within five years, most people will have a personal AI that knows them better than anyone else. And they will interact with it in ways that seem foreign today.   (And, yes, it will almost certainly have dystopian elements.)   In the meantime, the biggest gains won’t come from household names. And, right now, James is seeing a prime opportunity to invest in the most under-the-radar plays in AI…   For dirt cheap. By Chris C.
