I am looking for new friends to trade the futures markets. Posted are 6 trades from today 7/26/11 that I found interesting. . (Major futures market equities ES YM TF etc) 1) 11:30 am est sell 2) 12pm est buy 3) 12:30 est sell 4) 1:15 pm est buy 5) 2:30 est sell 6) 4:15 pm est buy. DIA1257261 is a small chart pic of the #5 sell candel and DIA12572610 is the small chart of #4 candel buy. White circles are on the charts for trade placement except I forgot to circle #6. The lines are the support/resistance lines that were traded today. Yellow arrow on candle = sell that candle and blue arrow on candle = buy that candle. This also works great on the DX futures as well or any futures. Anyone trading this precise or wants to trade this precise is welcome to be friends. Thanks

Mae...., I think the charts are very self explanatory. 6 trades off 15 minute charts at the candle time on the chart. 2 small charts of 2 of those that show even more precision of the exact high and low candle of those swings and at the exact high and low tick of those candles.

Ok, I'm game.....

 

You said you are trading sup/res....curious as to what these levels are based on (single bar s/r, intraday swings, etc) And, you listed specific times that you took your trades....are these set times of the day that you always look for trades?

 

I guess I am asking if you are looking for some commentary/feedback on your style of trading. If so, a bit more detail would be helpful.

 

And, the fact that you were trading off of 15 m charts was not self-explanatory when the attachments are zoomed in to 2 or 3 bars.

 

Looking forward to learning about your methods....

Mae...., Thanks for your interest and keen help. Yes, the trades posted are 15 minute candle charts with 2 of them having a corresponding smaller frame trading chart that showed the high and low tick sell/buy at very top tick on sell and very bottom tick on buy. The arrows come on automatically off a strategy running real time and the support/resistance lines are part of the same strategy. Commentary/feedback is welcome as are friends who trade as precisely or want to trade as precisely. Sorry for not labeling the candles. The times are just the times that those candelas are formed and the trades are taken inside the circles as per the smaller trading charts. (2 are shown) I think I gave a precise time of trade on one of the smaller charts.(2:20 pm est #5 2:30 sell candle)

I am looking for new friends to trade the futures markets.

 

I'm not sure what this means? Do you want to collaborate with other people, and share ideas? What if you have all the good ideas and the person who wants to be your friend doesn't have any good ideas at all? How would this friendship work?

To clarify see 15 min bar chart of 7/26/11 with circles on the previous posted charts signals and a 1 minute chart of the YM with corresponding signal circles. This is usable for the major markets (ES, YM, TF etc.) Tra..., I guess we all have a certain number of friends that might fall into that, but real intelligent friends do contribute and that is called a friendship.

That is about 180 YM points for about $900 / contract for those trades shown, if I did the math correctly. Similar moves in the TF and ES. Please feel free to check my math and offer corrections if needed. Anyone up to doing the TF and ES 1 minute profit reports for those 1 minute signals?

Attached chart shows a 15 minute chart with a sell signal that appeared real time at 12:02

Pm EST today 7/28/11. The TF sell at 808.3, the YM sell at 12331 and the ES sell at 1312.75. I hope you are doing as well. Pha..., patience, patience, patience. Actual trades, maybe if you are friendly I will post some of them.

Davt,

 

I'm having a very difficult time discerning what I'm seeing here. Could you explain your signals a little bit, because your images are lacking context.

 

Maybe you could back out and give a bigger picture of what we're looking at, ie show an hour's worth of bars per picture or something along these lines?

 

At this point, its too tedious trying to figure out what we are supposed to be seeing in your images...

 

All I can guess is this: you're trading 1 minute candlesticks with some sort of breakout system. Am I in the ballpark here? Are these hammer bars or what?

So what are you saying, D.: you took all three trades in these related markets?

Looks like your method is one of the very first things I learned as a trader called "The Blip". It is a very common trading pattern. Many trading courses teach it buy use a different name for it.

 

Odds are better when this pattern is attached to something...such a previous HOD, LOD or a know reference level to other traders.

 

You show entries, but no exits? The entries circled are spikes on your candle, something that forms AFTER that candle closes, and if you wait to see if that spike holds or is taken out, then you have to wait for the next candle to complete. Therefore, you where you circled cant be your entry, but your 'signal to enter'. That is my guess anyways. So if that is the case, your circles on the charts are a bit misleading if they are actual entries.

 

It does appear that you are marking up a chart after the fact, like Phantom mentioned. You need a bit more details to make this believable if you want to attract people who actually trade for a living.

Pha..., See attached 5 pictures. DIA1572910 is a 15 minute overview chart of the major markets (ES, YM and TF) and other signal generator for 7/29/11. The first buy of the day came at 9:46 AM EST on the 10 AM candle, right after the signal firing at 9:44 AM on previous candle and below the buy line. The other 3 circles on the chart are the places where other real time arrows appeared (not shown), that were for 3 other trades that day. The yellow resistance line and the blue support lines are also displayed on that chart. DIA1257291 is the trading chart of the major markets that gave the buy signal at 9:46 am and YMC3572910 is the corresponding YM trading chart that is giving the buy signal also at 9:46 AM.

I have the computers configured to place either an automated limit order or a manual limit order at that time in either the YM, ES or TF. These first 3 charts show that placement of the YM buy order just slightly off the market low. Each of the 3 markets that I am following (ES, YM and TF) are running the strategy and executing real time signals that I control automated or manually.

ESPR7291 is the NET profit report for the ES signals raw after subtracting all commission and throwing away all slippage before filtering them for greater profit with the major market filter as described for the last 2 weeks and DIAPR7291 is the equity graph of the major markets filter that I am applying and showing with screen shots.

Yes, I have an abhorrence for ever loosing money in any day and with this method I haven't Yes, the annualized net profit percentage is greater than the 384.51% raw ES NET shown for the last 2 weeks.. Sil..., There is no use of HOD nor LOD and the circles do contain the actual trade and are not made after the close of the candle but during its formation. The entries are the exits and the exits are the entries as shown once started in the market and conclude with the last circle for the day. All charts were originally formed real time and arrow/signals are placed real time by the strategy as the candle is formed. To my knowledge this is not being demonstrated/taught anywhere on the net. Looking for new friends.

Pha..., no this is NOT a commercial package. Way too good to be a mere commercial package and it is also too good to be sold. (also too good to be given away) Therefore it is not for sale. Looking for new friends. (BTW: No one volunteered in a friendly manor to take the challenge to find out which of the 3 markets I am using the method to play is the most profitable. See clue attached. This is a NET profit report AFTER commission and all SLIPPAGE has been subtracted and BEFORE the filter has been applied on a 5 minute TF).

I pretty much stopped checking into this thread after the first page, but I have to ask..... are you simply trying to get subscribers to some sort of signal service or training?

 

The reason I ask is you keep stating you are looking for friends who trade like you..... but, there is no way to know if anyone trades like you because I have no idea how you trade. Your screen shots are tiny and unhelpful, there is no real explanation of your methods, and frankly, I haven't been able to discern anything of value from your posts other than you have an "automated" system that seems to magically catch every swing top and bottom almost to the tick.

 

Some friendly advice.... if you are indeed looking for trading "friends", initiate a more engaging dialogue. I have made many friends here with many great traders by posting my trading methods, ideas, successes and failures.... Phantom and others have done the same.

 

Guess I am just trying to figure out the intentions here.....

I also check in to see if there is more posted here to explain the purpose for this thread.

When I read what you wrote "No one volunteered in a friendly manor to take the challenge to find out which of the 3 markets I am using the method to play is the most profitable."

 

I don't want to present myself as unfriendly, but perhaps it is that I don't want to play 20 questions to get to what you are really are looking for. Some already asked previously with no real explanation from you. A few of us took our time to post, so obviously you got our interest. Can you please (being friendly here) give us a bit more detailed explanation as to what you are looking for?

Bwe..., thanks. The profit reports by TS are generated by the strategy being read by TS. It then issues a PR based on that strategy for the real data fed into it by the live markets. TS PR has no way to know exactly where the trade was executed in the real market, so I told it to assume the worst possible fill I could think of ALL the time. This assures that actual manual/automated trades will actually average better than the TS PR. This is a function of TS and TS takes all trades issued by the strategy. I filter manually.

Mal..., there is no signal service.

Sil..., new friends wanted.

See attached 15 min chart of 7/29/11 with 4 trades illustrated on this filter chart on major markets. It has on it 3 lines. Yellow, blue and bottom translucent (all on chart before first trade of the day) along with the 4 trade areas circled in white, The first blue buy arrow appeared on chart at about 9:44 am EST and the trade was executed off the smaller time frame chart at about 9:46am EST and inside the posted white circle and below the translucent buy line pictured.(see previously posted picture small timeframe charts)

The next 3 trades were taken inside the next 3 circles as a sell, buy and sell respectively (arrows not shown) and off a smaller trading chart that is running the same strategy and gives the actual trading signal to a more profitable trade than that shown by this filter chart signals.

This process is repeated all day long and in multiple markets. I posted this as an example.

Just looking for new friends.

8/4/11 was another typical day in the markets. See attached. DIA15841 is a 15 minute overview of 8/4 with 5 trades circled on it. The last on ending just after market close. TF5C841 is the TF 5 minute chart illustrating the first trade on the overview chart and YMMAT8412 is the matrix buy of that signal. YMMAT8413 is continuation to next sell signal shone on TF5C8412. TFMAT8413 is the matrix sell of that trade.

      I had a bad experience in trading. I did lost $17,350 in total and i when i try to cash out one story or the other keep coming up to me at every giving point of time so i give up on them.after several weeks i came across this agency,expert recovery that help me get back about 75 percent of my lost funds. I learnt thee is a class action court proceeding to sue scam binary companies but I believe that takes more time and money paid to lawyers is way expensive. You can talk to a recovery expert.

      I invested 60% of my retirement payment on Coin Bull and Paperex with the mindset of getting it multiplied and enjoying a better retirement life. It was sweet and smooth from the start, withdrawals were easy and consistent until it gets to a point I started to be denied withdrawals and that was how I lost all money, I couldn't get my investment amount back not talk of the bonuses. I contacted several lawyers but it was all waste of time and money, they couldn't render an inch of help. God so good to my old self and family, I later met with a certified binary options recovery expert that helped me recover my money within 5days from the brokers(Coin Bull), it was worth it, he was able to retrieve my funds. If you have found yourself in same situation as me you can contact the expert on '' Hacknet1seven1( A T)p r o t o n m a i l ( d o t c o m )" also he can render any other desired hacking services, I can assure he would be able to help you just as he helped me, you can give him a try if you don't mind. Binary options brokers shouldn't get away with this.

      A website that offers fraudulent EAs is being used for scams and other financial crimes. The website in question is btcmt4.com and belongs to Philippe Ballesio who uses the pseudonym "plukumust". He took away 1 BTC, never responded after paying for an EA he never sent.

    • 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/     
    • Originally Answered: How can I compete with people who are better than me in every way?   So you want to outcompete people who are smarter, better looking and more experienced than you?   No problem!   All you have to do is outwork them.   Will Smith said, "if we both get on a treadmill either you're going to get off first or I'm going to die trying."     Most people just aren't willing to work that hard. Sure, they'll show up for the job interview and maybe practice in front of the mirror for a few minutes, but they won't do hours and hours of research and prepare for weeks. They won't wake up early and stay up late working on their dreams.   So while all those smart, good-looking, experienced people are waiting around for the next opportunity to come their way, you can outwork them and create your own opportunities.   In a few years, you'll be that "smart" person everyone looks up to. But you'll be different. You'll know it was your hard work, your inner strength and your commitment to living a great life that made you successful and brilliant - not luck or good genes.” – Tom Corson-Knowles, Quora Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/   
    • @sxiqxx, Well done on making your first post a promising strategy. @everyone, post up if you want this coded into an EA. Although I switched to TradeStation, I still have an active MT5 demo with MetaEditor. I can code it without referencing object oriented programming which should be retroactively compatible with MT4. Let me know...
    • Please allow me to retort (in jest): RESPONSE 1 : Get a job supervising others where you're in control of performance reports and ride those others 100%. This makes your performance 100% with little to no effort.   RESPONSE 2: Feel free to piss off your boss but stay nonviolent. When the side effects of his viagra and testosterone boosters cause him to physically assault you, you have the legal upper hand. This can result in a boatload of trading capital.   RESPONSE 3: Feel free to have intimate relations with your boss if she finds you attractive. Rest assured that mum's the word because once again, you have the legal upper hand. This can also result in a boatload of trading capital.   RESPONSE 4: Don't be fake friends with any enemies... unless you need information from them. Being fake friends with everyone will cause you to become an empty shell of a person with no direction in life.   REPONSE 5: Get your boss to become reliant on your performance (really, just the performance of your subordinates), and then plan an "overheard" conversation wherein you fake an interview with another potential employer. You'll probably get a pay increase or a promotion.   RESPONSE 6: If you can give your 75% percent to a project, give 50% and rely on your legal upper hand(s). Learn to write trading algo's during your other 50%.   RESPONSE 7: Take all of the office boys out to nightclub where you merely sip soft drinks on a weeknight. Upon your return to the office in the morning, inform the security guards that all of the office boys are intoxicated. Your boss will love you for it.   RESPONSE 8: Never try to prove your client wrong or find faults in their processes, but do secretly collect their information in case you jump ship or "someone you know" decides to start his own company.   RESPONSE 9: Never stay in a firm for too long. Instead, use your ill-gotten capital to exit the rat-race and start trading.   RESPONSE 10: Trading pays more than your career. Interpersonal skills are now irrelevant. Use your technical skills for trading. Never stop learning and keep updating your technical skills.😁
