    Full of Bull: Review

    A couple weeks ago, I was given a review copy of the new book by Stephen T. McClellan: Full of Bull: Do What Wall Street Does, Not What It Says, To Make Money in the Market. Here is my review:
    Much of the text is autobiographical anecdotes about what it’s like to be an analyst. [...]

    Monday’s Trading

    Monday’s Trading

    I was investigating ninja coding issues this morning, so I didn’t make any trades. But, I did go back and take a snapshot of another example scalp from what is becoming my favorite hit-and-run setup:

    Nice, clean, and (relatively) easy.
    Not only am I still working on getting the main eotpro functionality moved over to ninja, [...]

    Friday Trading

    Friday Trading

    Since I’ve been trading abbreviated days this week, I’ve mainly been using my scalping technique. It’s a simple setup I’ve gone over in the eotpro live room most days lately. I’ve described an early version of the setup in the forums and old blog posts. The only real difference is that I’ve [...]

    non-blogger

    Wow, has it really been 4 days since my last blog entry? Sorry… new gf has the majority of my attention right now. I haven’t stopped trading, by any means… but something has to give and this time it is blogging. I have been in the eotpro live room most [...]

    Why I Don’t Trade Stocks Anymore

    At least, this is one reason I have always felt more relaxed when trading liquid futures…

    This is an extreme example, but you see less drastic versions of it all the time on the volatile stocks. That’s why I say stocks have a bit of a ‘wild west’ feel compared to @ES.
    But, I [...]

    First Hour’s Signals Thursday

    First Hour’s Signals Thursday

    Oh yeah! I’m showing my 3/4 pt range bar chart today. Nice clean signals in that first subgraph. Clearly outperforming my “classic” Patty-B-based signals in the second subgraph. The new volume indicator is in the third subgraph.

    Nice Blog

    The author of the S&P 500 Futures Journal blog wrote a comment here a while back, and I’ve been following his blog ever since. I think it’s pretty good. Nice concise review of the day in 15-minute candles, and often an opinion on the likely direction for the next day.
    It doesn’t appear [...]

    Wednesday Morning Signals

    Wednesday Morning Signals

    Oh yeah, baby… Here’s the first 2 hours of the market, or so, in 2584 share bars. My cool new experimental entry signals were awesome yet again.

    That doesn’t mean that they are actually awesome. But I would say every day that passes makes them look more and more promising.
    They looked [...]

    Happy Monday Morning

    Happy Monday Morning

    Am I happy with this morning’s experimental entry signal performance?

    Yes. Yes I am :-) Two trades in the first 1.5 hours, and they were pretty darn clean wins.
    Hopefully the rest of the day will hold up. I like how it avoided the choppy section in the middle of the chart, [...]

    Experimental

    Experimental

    As I’ve been mentioning… Bill’s Arrows are awesome. But, they are also conservative. And, even if it’s not in their best interests, some people want more action than that. I swear, many beginners would rather lose money trading fast than make money trading slow. Sad but true.
    So, I’ve been working [...]
