Thanks for that, I learned something about the AT platform I never new, again, thanks for sharing

[sseverijn]

You really like trading like this? Seems like a very stressful way to trade. Been looking at a variety of videos tonight on this site about trading the mini's and I'm blown away how hard everybody makes this. Do yourself a favor guys read and incorporate Market Profile into your trading methodology.

John, I wanted to thank you for Master The Trade. I devoured the entire book in the 6 hours after I bought it last week. A perfect match for my learning style. My first life changing event was coming from Boston to Chicago to attend a futures trading seminar in 2000,I didnt even know what a future was. but I never went back to Boston. Reading Master the Trade was my second life changing event. Would you accept a short email from a newbie?

[jcarter593]

Feel free to email me -- info is at our site tradethemarkets dot com

[pjmsullivan]

I read your book and am starting a trading account this week. I just want to say thank-you for your book and free videos, they have helped me enormously.

[jcarter593]

Good to hear and thanks for the comments.

Looks nice, I really like the auto feature. Thanks RagingBull For the referral.

The charting is from TradeStation and the executuion platform was AT.

[jcarter593]

It's free software through infinity -- if you would like to try a demo you can email rosa at tradethemarkets dot com.

[jcarter593]

haha yeah I didn't have to do 30 trades to get that one. It took me longer to figure out how to convert it and upload it to youtube!  For scalping I think the stock index futures and grains are best.

[cujo97864]

what software is that, thanks

The idea with pivot trades is that you will get a small bounce 85% of the time. So I use a wide stop for the first third to give it room to work its probabilities, then as soon as that first target is hit start tightening up the stop aggressively.

[deefromott]

hey jcarter. nice trades. question. why is your first profit target 10 ticks, and your stop 30 ticks? that seems counter intuitive.

[jcarter593]

Good question. My overall exit strategy is to start with a setup that has a high probability of at least getting that first 10 ticks. Once I get that 10 ticks I get aggressive about moving up my stops. When I tried this with a 10 tick stop, I would get stopped 60% of the time. When I widened the stop, the success rate moved up and I would only get stopped 20% of the time. From there you look to get some runners since you then have a no risk trade with a break even stop.

what is the name of the trading platorm?

[protagerus]

infinity AT

[jcarter593]

This platform is called "AT" for short. You can get a demo account set up by emailing rosa at tradethemarkets dot com. It's available though a couple of brokers.
