yamantaka Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 This thread is open to all who care to share setups trading ES without any conventional indicators. Personally, I use a naked 15 and 60 minute chart. These tell me many things about supply and demand. Currently I'm interested in buying the 1867-68 level. This is a 100% fib extension from the high reached at 10:15 a.m. ⭐ AndyS and bisecom 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yamantaka Posted April 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 I'm looking to go short at 1875-77. Head and shoulders on the 60 minute chart. If it creeps up there, I'll pass. I want to see some velocity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to see some velocity. Price now 1875.00 and it is really slow. No fill. If it hits 1874, I'm passing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swordfih Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Good initiative, I do trade ES manually (no indicators) and would like to start participating in this thread as well. But first, I think we should explain our setup and what we're looking for to avoid confusion. I'll do just that when my trading day is over. In the meantime, good trading.

wizard101 Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 sorry about that right margin guys, you can look at your price scale, the under/over divergences off doub bottoms/tops often produce high prob "turn" areas especially verifying another supp/resist area. Where they can really be useful is around 12:20-12:30 est where we had a bullish converg with the price directional flow which was to the upside still....Even though I use other supp/resist techniques, it is nice to verify an area with a heads up of "momo diverg" off a smaller time frame. If one had missed say that abc continuation low, then the higher low with the right momentum visual is another high probability continuation pattern, also from the echat crowd known as "mof" money on the floor......just another perspective combining both supp/resist, whether coming from fibs, channels, harmonics, with some momentum... cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yamantaka Posted April 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Hi @wizard101, Thanks for participating on the thread; but please remember, the setups cannot use indicators such as stochastics, macd, and RSI, etc., etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user33 Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Would be nice for anyone who calls the trade to also state his/her reasons for such calls, otherwise I am not really seeing real benefits for making any calls. Just my 2 cents. yamantaka, Wanderer and ⭐ AndyS 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yamantaka Posted April 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Just took a 1 point scalp on the 100% fib extension. Got filled to the tick! http://i62.tinypic.com/b3smxg.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yamantaka Posted April 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 I'm currently testing a pullback method after I've selected the short term market bias. In this trade, I'm taking a short after a 3 point retracement from the low. Worked for a 1 point scalp. http://i61.tinypic.com/242c27n.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yamantaka Posted April 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Here's a trade I've been waiting on, but it probably won't fill before lunch, so I'll be canceling it since I won't be in front of the screen. http://i62.tinypic.com/dcsb2a.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yamantaka Posted April 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 (edited) LOL. Just got back from lunch and I 'm watching that set work for a scalp, which is what I wanted. Oh well, too bad; I never leave a manual trade open if I can't watch the price action. Because, this is ALL about price action. http://i58.tinypic.com/20uwps9.jpg Edited April 2, 2014 by yamantaka wikedmonk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yamantaka Posted April 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Here's another one of those 100% fib retracements and one I had hoped to catch, but this time I had to pick up kids from school. Those setups are high probability. http://i62.tinypic.com/2ecd6pk.jpg Wanderer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yamantaka Posted April 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Yamataka, can you elaborate more on the price action method you use? Thanks I have a handful of chart setups. I'll post more when they appear. Some of them can be found here.

yamantaka Posted April 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 I just took 2 trades. The first was a Long reverse head n shoulders ("HnS") at 1880.50 shown with the lower blue line. The trade went in my favor 3 ticks and then started to retreat with some vigor, taking 2 ticks of heat and I thought my 1 point stop would get hit, so I moved it to BE and scratched the trade (of course it then moved back in my favor and hit the 1 point target.) The second trade was a short after price moved up to the top blue line at 1881.75. I took this trade because price had moved to the point where a reverse HnS failed. This is a classic support turn into resistance setup and it worked for a 1 point winner. http://i60.tinypic.com/29ktb1f.jpg Trader34 and Wanderer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
