/ES Futures Trading Strategy on ThinkorSwim

@skyline The candle painting on the 1000t is in reference to FE (Fractal Energy). When FE falls below the midline it paints candles yellow otherwise always white. If you scroll back through the thread you should be able to find multiple discussions on how to use FE in your trading setup. If not just let me know man and I'll elaborate!

thank you Sir, i get an idea of it already,

1. focus on trades when the candles are yellow, (FE below mid line, candles painted yellow)
2. look at WT where it is pointing, up/buy, down/sell.
3. look for support and resistance. for entry.
4. T2000 look for cyan/purple? or does it have to be the same as T1000,candles yellow, with WT same up point

can you link me to the grid file of this chart, the #655 post
is it page 33,post 646?
(it an ocean of post with different versions -.-" )

thank you.

Sometimes you just can't help but laugh

@blakecmathis been looking through this forum, and haven't tried the setup yet. Just curious, have you tried to leverage the buy/sell signals with options? Or does it move too quick for it to be effective?

Also, any significance to the divergence with the oscillator?

 

[DaGekko]

Nice short signal this morning ~ 2970. Worth about 8 points!

 

[blakecmathis]

@celticind Negative I have not tried this with options man. And as far as divergence with the WTO goes, none that I'm aware of.

 

[blakecmathis]

@DaGekko Did you get in on that one brotha!? I had an order in @ 2968.50 on that first pb to 2968.25 so no fill for me unfortunately.

 

[DaGekko]

I did - actually got filled at 2971 and exited at 2963

 

[blakecmathis]

@DaGekko Beautiful play dude

 

[DaGekko]

I'm running in this buy hit @ 11:18 right now - got filled @ 2938 and took profits at 2945. The buy seemed a little more sketchy than the short signal - would you have played the long?

 

[blakecmathis]

Yeah I played the long @ 2937 with 4 contracts but I bailed @ 2942.50

 

[blakecmathis]

In my head I was thinking it would trade back down to the 61.8 @ 2930 but its still on a pretty solid run up. Powell speaks @ 1:30 central so imagine it to get pretty volatile as soon as he starts.

 

[DaGekko]

Yea I mentally had a stop loss at 2931-30. Nice Trade.

Looking like a setup to sell to the bell - will be watching

@blakecmathis - do you trade this during the overnight session?

 

[blakecmathis]

@DaGekko Nah I've been thinking about it lately though. I've been noticing a lot of blatantly obvious trades lately in the post market with this setup so I may buy a 12 pack of red bull and ride the train one night and see what happens.

 

[STB]

Lots of movement in overnights.

 

[blakecmathis]

@STB You trade the night sessions man?

 

[STB]

Not exactly, I do more swing trades, I will hold positions over night or have orders sitting to open or close positions.

 

[DaGekko]

Big one just signaled - I almost took it, but I had to put the little one to bed
