    The Stochastic Indicator

    i take losses all the time and posted them in my journal...in general when i have a loss it means i should also be reversing...so while you have a loss, the reverse puts you on the right side of the mkt...that's what was being decsribed by jack yesterday during that high volatility period after...

    The Stochastic Indicator

    exactly how i try and approach...slaloming and then turns into a rocket...give it more room b/c that is when a few points turns into a lot of points...today/afternoon was a good example. so its a lot of back and forth then bam rocket and let it ride.

    iceberg is a slow trend...slalom is basically trading within a range.

    The Stochastic Indicator

    first off...days like this i usually struggle a great deal...slow moves are killer for me... mkt opens and clearly we are looking at a short rocket..i waited 15m...saw the lod b/d and entered on the pullback (not the best entry, but that is what i did) now the mkt is acting all herky jerky...

    The Stochastic Indicator

    so the 15m which has been the pace all day...finally leaves the rocket area...and the downtrend channel that has been there all day is broken...long at 984.00 that is how i saw this move that we are in right now. my 2 cents. update 3:51 turned into rocket...stalling at chart R...

    The Stochastic Indicator

    here is my 2 cents on failed rocket and how i played it today.... quick side comment: at some point you will be getting into trades before they become rockets. for ex:good macd hist reading +.40 and stoch crosses 50...so in essence you will be taking every rocket b/c you are already in the...

    The Dawg Pound

    this definitely was the hardest thing to overcome, but eventually i have taken the outlook that i make the market take me out of my position in rockets(if i am up 10pts i will take all profits) after watching myself leave tons of profits on the table i just stopped fighting it. if i take early...
