    What does it mean to "move stop to break even"

    Thanks. So it seems that "break even" can be either a zero P/L gain, or moving your stop to your average entrance price, which, in the latter case, could still leave a profit depending on how many contracts you have left.

    Thanks, I am curious why you wrote you locked in 1.5 points on initial size. It appears that you locked in 2.0 points. Thanks.

    What does it mean to "move stop to break even"

    I am a confused as to whether this means move stop to your entry price, or move stop to where you give back all your profit. For example, let's say that I buy two contracts at 1600. I want to see one contract at 1601.50. At this point, I will have 6 ticks of profit (minus commission), or...

    how to quickly place a limit order?

    I have been using the DOM on my Thinkorswim platform which is a bit tricky to locate and choose the correct price in order to place a limit order.. My friend says he just right-clicks to place a limit order. Is this how you do it, as well. What I dont understand is after you right click do you...

    What is this boobs and cleavage stuff? I saw Ammo posting something about cleavage and whatnot in a different thread. I did a search on "trading technical cleavage" and got nada. Can you direct me to a source to learn about cleavage, nips, or etc? It sounds like important stuff :D

    question about backtesting, historical data, and 5 min chart

    I see the phrase back testing a lot in the forum. I think I grasp what it means. It seems self-explanatory. However, there are some things I am not sure about. I use ThinkorSwim. The historical data for the 5 min chart only goes back 20 days. This isn't enough for back testing. So I switch to...

    I think I figured out why trading can never work for so many people

    I like the approach in the #2 example, but not #1. In the # 2 example, price breaks the last new high on the 5 minute, and then pulls back. You switch to a 1 min chart to monitor the pull back and take the trade when price reaches the rising 20 ema. But on the #1 example there is no mention of...
