/ES Futures Trading Strategy on ThinkorSwim

[lazeelink]

@blakecmathis that's what I was thinking. I have tried every grid that was shared but can't find it, I'm not sure how I got it to begin with.

@lazeelink I am in the same boat. I have been doing very well with this setup in paper account but haven't built up the courage to live with it yet.

I have traded a few times in my hard $ account but at the break even point. I have a plan going into the trade but seldom see it through to fruition, panic and bail. blakecmathis suggested that I trust the signals and he is correct. I'm getting there but it's taking a bit more courage than I have in reserve right now. I know full well the emotion with real money is much different than paper trading and doing all I can to keep them both at the same mindset.

@Robster021 I have been searching endlessly on how to share the grid and cannot figure it out. I don't know if its the fact that I am in Canada but I seem to have different options then all the vids I have been watching. I posted the grid that I am referencing is #577.

If you click "Setup" next to "Support/Chat" there is no "Share workspace..."

Today has been pretty iffy for me. Good buy/sell signals but followed by a lot of chop with no clear entries. Definitely some good plays to be made but I've been pretty conservative today. Only up $62.50 right now but still a lot of time on the clock!

Nope, the only options that I have are Reset, Save or Delete Workspace.

How did everyone make out today? Profitable, I hope.

You mentioned the "no clear entires" dilemma previously. What would you say constitutes a good/clear entry point after buy/sell signals are given?

 

[lazeelink]

Decided to jump to my hard money account today and experiencing minor success but on the right side of the ledger. How is everyone doing?

Spent hours reading this post last night, simply amazed at the Indicators / strategy. I was comparing the /ES signals to the /MES, just wondering if anyone has had experience trading the micro with this setup? Also considering /CL.
Great work @blakecmathis & @skynetgen ! Very impressive

I trade strictly /MES at this point with excellent results on paper and just above break even in my hard money account. I find I do better using the 1000T signal as a starting point and verification with the 2000T. Play around with it on paper and try to emulate what you would do with real money. Controlling the emotional part of the trade is the toughest, for me.

@lazeelink Good example from today of a very clear entry on a short play. Double tap @ 2677.50

As long as I avoid trading when any kind of WHO representative or politician is speaking its winner winner chicken dinner

So i modified RSILFE study to make that signal I am talking about clearer. can change .4 to whatever you want (.5 would be mid)

Here it is https://tos.mx/u7TLJYZ

@skynetgen I was playing around with your modified RSILFE study and noticed that the RSI plot does not appear on 15m chart. Very strange since it seems fine on all other timeframe. As 15m is my fav I traced down the issue to the below calculation of L0, the value of L0[1] is coming as N/A. I have no idea about the mad science behind your calculation, any idea why it won't work on 15m?

L0 = (1 – gamma) * Gc + gamma * L0[1];

This seem like a very powerful setup. There are a lot of discussion about everyone's experience and outcomes. Is there a simple explanation of a strategy that has been proven to work well?

@lazeelink I trade Mes too Can you share your favorite indicators and timeframes

 

[3L10Ns]

Well the /ES certainly took off at the open this morning. Can someone explain the strategy, don't seem to get that long entry signal, when to get long at the start of a rally, but while its rallying I get lots of sell signals on the pull backs, opposite happens when in a down trend (see attached image). From what I have read; look for entries on the 1000t and wait for confirmation on the 2000t.

By the way what it this 1000t/2000t time frame? I can see it counting up and rolling over.

@blakecmathis can you share your latest grid please?

Thanks to all for support!

All I can say is wow. I found this site looking for ways to learn about the 2lpb. Now, I need a break from reading all the pages and testing out some setups. Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this post so far. For now, I am lost in the sauce, but I will get there
