We all rub off on each other. I'm influenced by Nav and Semi, too. I've learned from them both over the years. The sentiment thing, however, I get to take full credit for.
That I learned the hard way.
Over years.
Thanks for the kind words, guys.

i do pretty well trading stocks but for some reason I have a hard time with index futures...
its killing me!
It's tricky. Watch for what you want to do and think about whether others might be thinking the same thing. If so, and it's not a really powerful set up, it's probably a fade.
The self-fade can be a good tool. Sometimes known as the barf indicator. Volume, however seems to be the one that keeps me out of trades that don't work out.

i like your barf analogy...for me i will call it the "choke" indicator! For instance on friday I said that i would short on strength to es 1463-64 and let ride to see if it hits your 1443 target! Well when I saw the naz WAY higher than expected this morning it kept me from pulling the trigger on the ES...which turned out to be a great trade as it immediatlly went to your 1443 target...basically I choked under fire...I suck!
