very interesting the action at 12:59 and 13:09.. I'm still a bit trigger shy though. didn't participate earlier either because I saw alot of congestion and didn't know the direction. thanks for the levels today, I figure I should first see what happens at the levels and become more familiar with...

that's why I took up daytrading futures watching a stock go down day after day after day.. and unwilling to sell.. eventually I sold but it was painful at first indeed. In hindsight I bought exactly at a retest of a resistance level, wish I knew TA before. Now im unwilling to hold anything...

saw the play at 14:16... very nice .. but I'm almost having dinner and didn't wanted to start eating with bad feeling :p

yep got the tick chart :) i looked at 12:44, and saw a spike above my 20/2 BB at 12:43.. does that matter alot?, the 12:44 bar was just below the upper line of the BB right now just checking out how things with BB works and so, I noticed a third restest of 80.75 at 13:04, i looked at $tick...

Very interesting, will check out to see if I can find $tick too :) Didn't take advantage though of the last retest, price didn't went to 81 so didn't get filled, saw the BB indeed acting again like you said :) also saw that 64.25 wasn't as effective the first time.. so I understand you can't...

isee, very interesting! the BB uses a standard 20 MA, but i was using a 20 Exponential MA earlier.. do you prefer any or just use both? I've never considered using tick charts, my smallest is 1 min chart, are tick charts useful for the average beginner? Thanks for the clarification of your...

a 1 min candle closed above the bollinger band? are price movements outside bollinger band also act as resistance?

thanks.. i see 80.75 worked again.. didn't participate though because of the move so fast, and no 20MA:mad:

I used the level 80.75, i used it as a selling opportunity, not buying (my indicators were bearish soo..)... the 20 EMA was aligning with 80.75 just now, but trailed my stop too close and got stopped out at 1 point profit.. nice lvel though :) is using the 20 MA as extra a good set-up? and...

maybe a stop of 3 points and a target of 3+ points is better? often i see that th bar closes up too 2 points above a level, only to reverse several points. A stop of 5 ticks is maybe too small. also, could you maybe list some good set-ups for near these levels?

paypal is based on credit... problem is funds in paypal are directly spendable even, but creditcards are not checked if stolen... hacked paypal accounts you can wreck havoc for 1000's of dollars.. it would help alot if everytime a payment is made from a paypal there will be a text message sent...

just kidding :p

well anybody could predict this because if you align the chart with 11 september they look almost the same

is there a gap if the low of friday is lower then the open of today?

I feel the same way. I think there are too many shorts. They get short squeezed easily if there is no real selling going on. Once shorts disappear, then everybody will feel: wow I guess nobody is shorting anymore, so no more crash, and then the real crash would happen.

I heard somewhere that both the ES and the SPX influence eachother. so that volume of the ES influences the SPX and volume on a SPX stock influences the ES. This because of arb programs. So volume can´t be discarded if that statement is true.

it might start the fall of religion

hm, ok thanks for the answer:) so a strong trend 3000 and more can be short and long?

I also saw that wednesday was a gap up day where you went short. So generally gap days are suppose to be taken the other side of the trade?
