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.

      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. That man has a great history of scams, after investigating in depth I could find financial crimes, computer crimes and common crimes. Your most recent fraudulent system is btcmt4, be careful ...

    • Date: 8th April 2025.   Markets Rebound Cautiously as US-China Tariff Tensions Deepen     Global markets staged a tentative recovery on Tuesday following a wave of volatility sparked by escalating trade tensions between the United States and China. The Asia-Pacific region showed signs of stability after a chaotic start to the week—though some pockets remained under pressure. Taiwan’s Taiex dropped 4.4%, dragged lower by losses in tech heavyweight TSMC. The world’s largest chipmaker fell another 4% on Tuesday and has now slumped 13.5% since April 2, when US President Donald Trump first unveiled what he called ‘Liberation Day’ tariffs.   However, broader sentiment across the region turned more positive, with several markets rebounding sharply after Monday’s dramatic sell-offs. Japan’s Nikkei 225 surged over 6% in early trading, rebounding from an 18-month low. South Korea’s Kospi rose marginally, and Australia’s ASX 200 gained 1.9%, driven by strength in mining stocks. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng rose 1.6%, though still far from recovering from Monday’s 13.2% crash—its worst day since the 1997 Asian financial crisis. China’s Shanghai Composite added 0.9%.   In Europe, DAX and FTSE 100 are up more than 1% in opening trade. EU Commission President von der Leyen repeated yesterday that the EU had offered reciprocal zero tariffs on manufactured goods previously and continues to stand by that offer. Others are also trying again to talk to Trump to get some sort of agreement that limits the impact.   Much of the rally appeared to be driven by dip-buying, as well as hopes that the intensifying trade war could still be defused through negotiations.   China Strikes Back: ‘We Will Fight to the End’   Tensions reached a boiling point after Trump threatened to impose an additional 50% tariff on all Chinese imports unless Beijing rolled back its retaliatory measures by April 8. ‘If China does not withdraw its 34% increase above their already long-term trading abuses by tomorrow... the United States will impose additional tariffs on China of 50%,’ Trump declared on social media.   If implemented, the new tariffs would bring total US duties on Chinese goods to a staggering 124%, factoring in the existing 20%, the 34% recently announced, and the proposed 50%.   In response, China’s Ministry of Commerce issued a stern warning, stating: ‘The US threat to escalate tariffs is a mistake on top of a mistake... If the US insists on its own way, China will fight to the end.’ The ministry also called for equal and respectful dialogue, though signs of compromise on either side remain scarce.   Beijing acted quickly to contain a market fallout. State funds intervened to support equities, and the People’s Bank of China set the yuan fixing at its weakest level since September 2023 to boost export competitiveness. Additionally, five-year interest rate swaps in China fell to their lowest levels since 2020, indicating potential for further monetary easing.   Trump Talks Tough on EU Too   Trump’s hardline approach extended beyond China. Speaking at a press conference, he rejected the European Union’s offer to eliminate tariffs on cars and industrial goods, accusing the bloc of ‘being very bad to us.’ He insisted that Europe would need to source its energy from the US, claiming the US could ‘knock off $350 billion in one week.’   The EU, meanwhile, backed away from a proposed 50% retaliatory tariff on American whiskey, opting instead for 25% duties on selected US goods in response to Trump’s steel and aluminium tariffs.     Volatile Wall Street Adds to the Drama   Wall Street experienced wild swings on Monday as investors processed the rapidly evolving trade conflict. The S&P 500 briefly fell 4.7% before rebounding 3.4%, nearly erasing its losses in what could have been its biggest one-day jump in years—if it had held. The Dow Jones Industrial Average sank by as much as 1,700 points early in the day but later climbed nearly 900 points before closing 349 points lower, down 0.9%. The Nasdaq ended up 0.1%.   The brief rally was fueled by a false rumour that Trump was considering a 90-day pause on tariffs—rumours that the White House quickly labelled ‘fake news.’ The market's sharp reaction underscored how desperate investors are for any sign that tensions might ease.   Oil Markets in Focus: Goldman Sachs Revises Forecasts   Crude prices also reflected the uncertainty, with US crude briefly dipping below $60 per barrel for the first time since 2021. As of early Tuesday, Brent crude was trading at $64.72, while WTI hovered around $61.26.   Goldman Sachs, in a note dated April 7, lowered its average price forecasts for Brent and WTI through 2025 and 2026, citing mounting recession risks and the potential for higher-than-expected supply from OPEC+.       Under a base-case scenario where the US avoids a recession and tariffs are reduced significantly before the April 9 implementation date, Goldman sees Brent at $62 per barrel and WTI at $58 by December 2025. These figures fall further to $55 and $51, respectively, by the end of 2026. This outlook also assumes moderate output increases from eight OPEC+ countries, with incremental boosts of 130,000–140,000 barrels per day in June and July.   However, should the US slip into a typical recession and OPEC production aligns with the bank’s baseline assumptions, Brent could retreat to $58 by the end of this year and to $50 by December 2026.   In a more bearish scenario involving a global GDP slowdown and no change to OPEC+ output levels, Brent prices might fall to $54 by year-end and $45 by late 2026. The most extreme projection—based on a simultaneous economic downturn and a full reversal of OPEC+ production cuts—would see Brent plunge to below $40 per barrel by the end of 2026.   Goldman noted that oil prices could outperform forecasts significantly if there was a dramatic shift in tariff policy and a surprise in global demand recovery.   Cautious Optimism, But Warnings Persist   With both Washington and Beijing showing no signs of backing down, markets are likely to remain volatile in the days ahead. Investors now turn their attention to upcoming trade meetings and policy decisions, hoping for clarity in what has become one of the most unpredictable trading environments in recent years.   Always trade with strict risk management.
