Patience, Patience, and more Patience


It was not only the ES that had a good trade yesterday, the YM got into the act as well. But, as with the ES, the TS3 sell on the 3min YM only arrived very late in the day.

As you can see, this TS3 sell caught the fall in the last hour of trading, for a nice +2.7R Profit (ignoring slippage and commission). Add this to the Profits from the ES and yesterday turned out to be a good day, even if you did have to wait a long time, the Profits were there...........

Thanks, Steve

Hi Everybody,

Yesterday was a good example of why you need Patience as well as Discipline when trading. Yesterday the markets were very quiet for most of the day with the 3min ES just drifting lower slowly. However, the ES gave two sells signals later in the day, the first for a -1R loss, but the second was for a +2.9R Profit (ignoring slippage and commission).

AS always, the Profits was much larger than the losses, therefore making money overall.

So the lesson here is even though it may be quiet, all “day traders” must be there for the whole day as you never know when the profits will arrive.....

Thanks, Steve
