One day I hope to trade like Thalestrader :)

(ie - set my target and stick to them)

As it is I get out of profitable trades too early. :(

 

I'll try and leave this one alone.

 

Gabe

 

I wanted to close the trade earlier but decided to stick to my guns. In hind sight it was the wrong decision.

In any case, I had a small profit that beats a small loss anytime.

I have no idea if this would trigger, but I like the long side of ES maybe for a trade. Short could setup later maybe?

 

Potential entry a 29, stop 25.25 and target at 34.50.

50% target filled at 1035.75. Stop loss is now at entry, and the profit target for the remaining position is 1040.50

I was thinking this last night......but in your opinion, wouldn't the more logical target be at 1039.50, where the bulk of rejection has occurred recently? Of course your target could be hit, but if you see this in hindsight, what do you think? I am sometimes confused at how I should go about picking a target myself, any help would be appreicated.

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=13426&stc=1&d=1252949250

 

Also, on a general note, why do I still feel like finding a trade everyday is going to be difficult? It seems I do ok hitting a trade most of the time, but I still feel shocked when it works out the way i anticipated, this is not a good emotion to have I would imagine?

I cleaned the chart up so as to better see what is going on; and I have moved the stop loss to 1035.75.

 

To summarize, 50% of original long position was closedat 1035.75 on a limit order for +4.5 points (for the tick counters that is +22 ticks). Stop loss on remaining 50% is at +4.5, and profit limit on the remaining longs is 1040.25 (+9.25 points or +37 ticks).

 

I'm done for the day except for this trade. I am heading out and I'll check back in around 3:40PM EDT to see if it is still open, and if so, I will probably close it then. I would expect that between now and then either my stop loss or limit order will be filled, but you never know.

 

Best Wishes,

 

Thales

you're one of my trading idols, thalestrader.

I've been concentrating pretty much soley on the ES for quite a long time now, and like many others, find it terribly hard. Unfotunattely its my only option as i dont have the money required to trade stocks due to the PDT rule.

 

I love your ES trades. Thanks for posting them.

Hi Forrest,

 

I think your targets, in both hindsight and foresight are very good and better than the ones I used (on the attached chart,I display your targets as the thin black horizontal lines). My targets (thick green lines) were somewhat more agressive than I might otherwise have used, but this long seemed a very high probability to hit both targets. In fact, I am a bit surprised that ES is struggling to print one more tick so as to touch Friday's high. (Isee that during the time I was typing this, ES has indeed exceeded Friday's high).

 

I do not trade the ES everyday. I trade it when it offers a good opportunity. Once in a while I'll even trade it when it is offering nothing, as I did last week, just to keep me humble.

 

The 1031 has been a level of some significance over the last few trading sessions, as can be seen by the blue horizontal line on the attached chart. As ES had two touches there during Globex, a break of that level would likely bode well for the long side.

 

Also, I use Taylor's Trading Technique (full disclosure: as I have mentioned elsewhere at TL, I am a subscriber to richbois's TTT service). Today was a "Sell Short," day in the Taylor cycle, which meant, ironically, that one should be prepared to buy a lower open for a rally to retest the prior day's highs. In fact, the exact quote form richbbois's report that he emailed to me soon after Friday's close said "Monday will be a SS day. We should probably retest the highs before a decline starts." I have used Taylor for several years on my own, as well. Taylor's method is based upon price action, specifically as it plays around prior highs and lows. I have found it to be especially useful to my trading of the ES. You do not need to subscribe to a service to benefit from Taylor's method; I can honestly say that TTT is the only service to which I subscribe, and I do so because the service is very inexpensive, especially given the amount of time and work it saves me.

 

At any rate, I was looking for an opportunity to buy a lower open, and when that opportunity presented itself, since there were high odds of a rally to test the prior day's high, I went a bit more agressive on my targets. Your targets were fine and would have resulted in a very respectable trade.

 

Best Wishes,

 

Thales

Shocked is good, as it is evidence both of a necessary humility while at the same time chipping away at the innate human weaknesses that prevent most of us from succeeding at anything, let alone trading. Soon, it will give way to "pleasantly surprised." The problems start when when your shock and surprise are replaced by "calm expectation," which is the stage immediatley preceding "self-assured Guru." It is at that final stage that you blow-up, lose all of your capital, and start selling your system on the internet.

 

Be grateful for shock and surprise. After the long struggle I had to get to where I am now, I am very grateful that I can leave an open position, and after playing outside with my four year old son for two hours on a beautiful late summer afternoon, I can come in and feel that same pleasant surprise at finding my profit target had been hit while having fun.

 

I am shocked that I get paid to do this.

 

Best Wishes,

 

Thales

Hi subterfuge,

 

Don't hold me to be an idol, trading or otherwise. If you knew how much money I lost during my long apprenticeship you'd now doubt find me more an object of ridicule.

 

I don't trade the ES everyday, but I will try to post the ES trades I do make. Perhaps you can post your trades here as well, with some expalnation on the basis if the trades. Sometimes, the act of trying to expalin your thoughts and actions in such a way as to make an another human being understand you has the salutary effect of making the basis of those thoughts and actions more plain to yourself.

 

Best Wishes,

 

Thales

Here are two questions:

 

1)

Right now, with my interpretation of the way you trade, and my application of it, I don't have a set rule I could write down if someone asked me to explain it. I might say something generic like look for a brekout of an area where price has stopped moving directionally, and look for other obvious S/R(This is just an example). So I dont have a specific set of things I see when looking for BOs, it's just a culmination of stuff from the W.F., various other places and this thread. Usually something just jumps out and says, 'here is a trade." So I'm worried I'll see/recognize these everyday.

 

So the question is, if you had to, could you write down trading rules beyond general guidelines(I'm not asking that you do, just if it's possible, or is it nothing more than seeing the same things happen over and over)?

 

2.)

I forgot and can't remember?

 

Substitute Question)

What is your usual win % of hitting a P1? Would you say it's typically less than 50% given the amount of profit you look for?

1) So the question is, if you had to, could you write down trading rules beyond general guidelines(I'm not asking that you do, just if it's possible, or is it nothing more than seeing the same things happen over and over)?

 

Could I write down trading rules? Yes, though I am not at all comfortable with calling them "rules." But I do think the way I trade can be communicated in writing. In fact, I believe that it has already been done - by Lefevre, by Livermore, by Baruch, by Darvas, by O'Neil, by Wyckoff, by Schabacker, by Taylor, et al. Support, resistance, trend, consolidation: it is always the same, which leads to the second part of your first question, which is to say, that an effective way to learn to trade in this manner is to observe that the same things happen over and over. Which implies, of course, that no matter what I or anyone else might have to write about trading, no matter how well and clear and lucid the account, reading that material will not translate immediately into the ability to replicate those results immediatley. Trading cannot be learned other than by doing. And doing. And doing.

 

What is your usual win % of hitting a P1? Would you say it's typically less than 50% given the amount of profit you look for?

 

As you are asking about trades involving P1, which I presume is short hand for "Profit Target 1," then you are asking about the manner in which I trade futures. I say this because most of my trades are, of course, individual stock trades, and I do not typically employ profit targets on those trades. I simply trail a stop until stopped out or the market closes. I believe I have mentioned elsewhere at TL that over time, with respect to my stock trades (and I am referring to day trading positions here) I have more losing trades than winning trades. This is not a problem, as my average losing trade currently is 13 pennies/share while my average winning trade is 55 pennies/share. This fluctuates over short periods but has been very stable over a trailing twelve month period. So, while my winning % on stock day trades is only 38% ( a figure that is remarkably stable over time), I maintain solid profitabilty.

 

As far as futures trades, I have posted a good number of trades here at TL, in real time, most prior to the buy/sell stop entry order triggering, some soon after but well before hitting the first profit target. What % of those trades posted have made it to P1? I do not know, but I figure most of them have.

 

You imply that the fact that I am playing for larger P1's perhaps has a detrimental impact upon winning %. I think the fact that I am playing for larger targets actually improves the winning percentage. Though the fact that I am trading based upon observable S/R is what contributes most to any success I enjoy.

 

I am not a scalper. I am not trying to "guess" where the next two or three ticks is likely to be found. I trade for a decent sized swing. Years ago, at a seminar taught by a well known author and "market wizard," said wizard suggested that short term price movement was more easily predicted than longer term price movements. The point this wizard was trying to make was that it is easier to trade for a point or two (this was pre-emini's and the instrument under discussion was the big S&P contract) than it was to trade for 5-10 points. I bought into this for a long time.

 

But I found that once I started to trade for the next main intraday swing rather than trying to grab a point or two (or worse, a tick or two) my results improved dramatically, both in terms of winning percentage and in terms of overall profitability. This change of focus occurred after I decided to try to trade S/R only, and it coincided, by the way, with my movement from the stage of shock to pleasant surprise. That is, once I saw with my own eyes how well I could anticipate price movements based solely upon price action around S/R, it became a relatively easy step to start using S/R as profit targets, and holding for more than a few points, and being able to resist the urge to allow myself to get shaken out on the slightest reaction against my position.

 

Let me give you an example of another trade. I am currently long the 6B. I would have liked to have bought at 1.6587. I missed the opportunity because my attention was elsewhere. However, when I did open that particular chart, I was so sure that price would at least make it to 1.6625, I bought at the market. I was filled on two contracts (which is small - one tick of 6B is only $6.25, but my entry was late and it is the relatively less liquid Tokyo session, so two was enough). My entry was 1.6601, P1 1.6625, TP2 1.6660, and my initial stop loss was 1.6568. As I was typing this, my P1 was filled, my stop loss is now at my entry (not a perfect situation as my entry is not at a good technical position for a stop) but rules are rules, and that is how I manage my futures trades. I have included a screen shot of the chart, the trade blotter showing the 2 contract buy at 1.6601 and the sell of 1 contract at 1.6624. I have a sell limit at 1.6660 pending. Will price get there? I do not know. P2 targets are hit much less often than P1's.

 

I have taken such a round about way to answer your question (finally), because the answer is that I do not often have a futures trade not make it to P1. I choose my trades carefully. I trade when I can see where price is going to go. This is not voodoo or magic or mysticism or anything of the sort. Imagine the shock you feel when the trade goes right. That "shock" is really excitement. It is not unlike the excitement you see in a child's eyes when they at first start to recognize letters, and then words, and then sentences. Eventually the child progresses to the point where she no longer stumbles across unfamilar combinations, and even the most difficult syllables are read and comprehended as easily as breath is drawn. The child reaches the point where she can as easily as you pick up the morning paper and read it aloud with perfect comprehension. Now, imagine you reach the point where you see these trades with the same ease as you read your morning paper. That is the only way for me to explain it. I do have losses. Usually those losses are when I allow my "thinking" to trade, rather than my "seeing." I had such a trade last week. I thought I had a good trade. My daughter saw that I had made a mistake. What can I say, I am human.

 

I would bet that there are one or two folks who regularly post here at TL who similarly enjoy a good percentage of their trades reaching a first scale out level. I would bet that those traders rely primarily on S/R to direct their trades, and I would bet that to get to that point they have spent tens of thousands of hours watching the same things happen over and over again, while simultaneously having the market hand them more than one person's share of humbling.

 

Best Wishes,

 

Thales

Much appreciated for you taking the time to humor my questions with such detail!

 

U're trade u're in, I almost jumped into a simliar trade on GBP/USD a while ago, but didn't quite stand out to me for whatever reason.

 

What you said about P1 and P2, I find that I would hit P1 quite frequently, but I seem to place P1 too far away sometimes. Look at this trade below.

 

I did get into the G/J, I didn't even know it had triggered as I'm watching the game. But now I see it and was able to move my stop close to BE due to a nice swing point. I think maybe a different P1 was in order. Now, I dont like where the adjustment of the natural stop has put my stop. If I cash out on P1, it would at least help me feel better.

 

Aaargh!!!

This was a worthwhile thread to resurect as it is IMO one of the PRACTICAL threads that I think has helped many of us.

 

Also this quote above is one of the great gems in this thread, I think you painted a good picture of relaxed trading that one can visualize. I try to remain calm, I believe with time and seeing more 'deliberate trades,' pan out successfully, like DB refers to will help greatly.

 

Particularly once one can realize that even a win ratio that isn't 99% will still yield good profitability.

 

Thanks again!

What do you think about a P1 between 151.30 and 151.40? You have the point you note, and you also have the last little rally high before Friday's close? If I am not mistaken, you entry fill was approx 150.90 and your initial stop loss was about 150.50. So, 151.30, which looked like a reasonably easy target for price to achieve, would give you a 1:1 R/R for the trade. I think that is how I would have traded it. P1 at 151.30, and then P2 between 151.60-70.

 

As a "rule of thumb," if there is S/R in the vicinity of what would be a 1:1 risk/reward, I'll take the 1:1 as my first target. If S/R is beyond 1:1, then I will will certainly play for a greater than 1:1 R/R.

Thanks for the confirmation. That's usually the thought I have, "is this at least 1:1 R:R?"

 

I think that would have been a much better P1 as you mentioned, but unfortunately didn't notice till after price had retraced from that point. I think now in terms of management, it might be a bit out of order to readjust the target?

 

But if I had P1 right in the first place it would have been easier to hold on to as well. The other numbers you mentioned for Initial stops were about right.

TARGET HIT

 

I actually mind f*(*-ed myself into the placement of P1, which I initially had at 151.61, I didn't pull it down the better P1 of 151.35. I moved it to 151.48.

 

Well, in the end both targets wound up being hit, shocking!!!

Hi folks, I'm back from summer break.

It's great to see a lot of activities and great insights in this thread. I am so inspired.

 

Long AMT.

Entry is 34.87. (Waited a little too long for the price to move above 20 EMA)

Stop 34.69.

Profit Target 35.55.

This is perhaps the best thread on TL if one is willing to spend some time here. Thales gives some great advice w/o a bunch of gibberish, confusing and/or misleading comments which you can find elsewhere.

 

Excellent thread Thales. Hope your trading is going well (I'm sure it is).

    • Well said. This principle is highly analogous to trading. Any human can easily click buy or sell when they "feel" that price is about to go up or down. The problem with feeling, commonly referred to as "instinctive" trading, is that it cannot be quantified. And because it cannot be quantified, it cannot be empirically tested. Instinctive trading has the lowest barrier to entry and therefore returns the lowest reward. As this is true for most things in life, this comes as no surprise. Unfortunately, the lowest barrier to entry is attractive to new traders for obvious reasons. This actually applied to me decades ago.🤭   It's only human nature to seek the highest amount of reward in exchange for the lowest amount of work. In fact, I often say that there is massive gray area between efficiency and laziness. Fortunately, losing for a living inspired me to investigate the work of Wall Street quants who refer to us as "fishfood" or "cannonfodder." Although I knew that we as retail traders cannot exploit execution rebates or queues like quants do, I learned that we can engage in automated scalp, swing, and trend trading. The thermonuclear caveat here, is that I had no idea how to write code (or program) trading algorithms. So I gravitated toward interface-based algorithm builders that required no coding knowledge (see human nature, aforementioned). In retrospect, I should never have traded code written by builder software because it's buggy and inefficient. However, my paid subscription to the builder software allowed me to view the underlying source code of the generated trading algo--which was written in MQL language. Due to a lack of customization in the builder software, I inevitably found myself editing the code. This led me to coding research which, in turn, led me to abandoning the builder software and coding custom algo's from scratch. Fast forward to the present, I can now code several trading strategies per day across 2 different platforms. Considering how inefficient manual backtesting is, coding is a huge advantage. When a new trading concept hits me, I can write the algo, backtest it, and optimize it within an hour or so--across multiple exchanges and symbols, and cycle through hundreds of different settings for each input. And then I get pages upon pages of performance metrics with the best settings pre-highlighted. Having said all of this, I am by no means an advanced programmer. IMHO, advanced programmers write API gateways, construct their own custom trading platforms, use high end computers with field programmable gateway array chips, and set up shop in close proximity to the exchanges. In any event, a considerable amount of work is required just to get toward the top of the "fishfood"/"cannonfodder" pool. Another advantage of coding is that it forces me to write trade entry and exit conditions (triggers) in black & white, thereby causing me to think microscopically about my precise trade trigger conditions. For example, I have to decide whether the algo should track the slope, angle, and level of each bar price and indicator to be used. Typing a hard number like 50 degrees of angle into code is a lot different than merely looking at a chart myself and saying, that's close enough.  Code doesn't acknowledge "maybe" nor "feelings." Either the math (code) works (is profitable) or doesn't work (is a loser). It doesn't get angry, sad, nor overly optimistic. And it can trade virtually 24 hours per day, 5 days per week. If you learn to code, you'll eventually reach a point where coding an algo that trades as you intended provides its own sense of accomplishment. Soon after, making money in the market merely becomes a side effect of your new job--coding. This is how I compete, at least for now, in this wide world of trading. I highly recommend it.

    • Here’s something few are talking about: The Chinese are printing money like it's going out of style. Not that you'd hear about it in the mainstream news. But Bitcoin knows.   Bitcoin always knows.   Here’s the thing…   When the Chinese government prints money to paper over the cracks, their smart money doesn't sit around waiting to get devalued.   It usually flows into three things: Bitcoin, gold, and dollars.   After years of being beaten down, gold's having one of its best years in decades. But here's the secret -- whatever gold does, Bitcoin's going to do it bigger.   Much bigger.   Since last November, when China started their printing spree, Bitcoin's been moving in near-perfect correlation with the People's Bank of China's balance sheet. Over 80% correlation, maybe even 90%.   Again, few are talking about it.   But here's why this matters right now: This could be the beginning of a huge breakout in the crypto markets.   Bitcoin broke above its July high, and historically, that's led to new all-time highs over 90% of the time. The only times it failed? COVID and the 2022 bear market.   That's it.” – Chris Campbell   Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
