This sounds more like a crash to me!!!!:confused:

Where is the buying coming in from?

Nice Call Bird!!!!! Do you think it to be a short-term, intermediate or long term top? As long as the bonds and utilities are holding up well, I do not think we'll see a massive sell-off or a crash. Would like to hear your opinion!!!!!

I realised after I posted that I missed few imp. details. Will post the whole thing again. Sorry!!!!

I went back and looked at my previous trades and did some testing. I am still going to be using limit-orders as I want to keep my risk per trade low. This will mean that I won't make money on certain days for not being in the market but I'm willing to take that risk. In the next couple of...

Is buying low delta options same as buying high volatility? Thanks.

Irrational Exuberance!!!!!

From the replies here, I think that market order is the way to go. My problem is a little bit different than most other day-traders. I have a full-time job and I cannot watch the market all day. I trade during my lunch break. The system that I have developed looks at the market's action from...

Thanks for your input. Here is my story: Today I got a Sell signal around 1.30 EST. I put a Sell order at 1292.00 (with a stop at 1293.5) when the bid was 1291.75 and offer was 1292 but I did not get the price. The market went down about a point and I put an offer at 1291, still I did not get...

This thread is designed so that we can discuss our entry via limit order or market order. I used to use market orders for all my entries and exits but my risk per trade was a big number and I held the positions overnight. Now I have developed a daytrading system to trade the ES and I have...

He has been bearish for a long time so I wouldn't put too much weight on that.

What's your long-term view for 2006? I think we are going to see higher prices from here. Your past few predictions have been right on the money, but this time might be different. Anyway, I admire your balls to make the prediction beforehand.

Last 3 Days: -$400 (traded in the morning, my fault) +$400(followed the plan) -$450(another mistake), I shorted in the morning which I was not supposed to do, but since the market held up pretty well took $40 profit and went long. The market went down soon after that. This is it. No more...

I trade ES and I did post my profits and Losses too. Anyway today I did not trade. The market never came to my buy point.

Wow!! remindes me of the $ 200 or $500 (I can't remember) target for Qualcomm by some anal-yst during 99-00. I think we are kinda getting in similar situation. If it is so, then this bull run won't end for another year.

+$225. My system trades after 1 EST only. I got screwed yesterday for overriding the system and trading before 1 EST. Had I waited till 1 EST, yesterday would have been a profitable day too. Total: $1650

Tried a new strategy for the first time. Took 3 months to back-test it and optimize it. +$2000 today. Still long 1 ES.
