Ok out for + 2pts. Wanted to hold on for more but the little jiggle at 48 caught up with my trailing stop. I probably kept it too tight because of FEAR of my winner turning into a loser. edit: my PT of 48.25 would have filled!!! Darnit!

Oh come on it's definitely going up!!! :D :D :D (come on stupid market - you can do it) edit: man this thing seems determined to knock me out at - 1pt

Here we go again. Long at 45 with 2 pt PT and SL. Might stay a little extra if the flag looks like a player. I'm reentering here on the resistance breakout I mentioned above. edit: trade has moved 1 pt in my favor; SL moved to BE -1

May be a little early, but possible flag??

That was my first tradeable level for resistance that I posted yesterday (chart included). It was almost out for -2 pts early in the trade. Can't say I wasn't sweating a bit. Looking for next setup now :)

10:30 EST or CST??

Couldn't post there for a minute. Long at 45, stopped out with +1 pt. 2pt traget would have filled but I moved my SL to BE +1 when price was 1.5 pts in my favor and seemed to be stalling. edit: waiting for next setup. Will reenter long at 45 if the 5m bar closes at or below and then crosses...

short @ 40. 2 pt PT and SL edit: wow that was fast - stopped out -2.00!! Looking for next setup

I didn't even think to look for flags and other patterns across days. I had the regular seesion pulled up (overnight) and I'm like what flag is everyone talking about?? Switched to pit hours and now it's pretty obvious. Then again, aren't they all when someone points them out? :) :) edit...

Thanks 4re. Everytime I think you've told me everything there is to know about this technique, you teach me something new. I can see why simple methods are critical. You can't get anymore straight forward than you're take on s/r and there are still a lot of possibilities to account for. I can't...

I'm assuming you had support at these levels based on prices from previous sessions. My question is really whether you would adjust these levels based on todays action or if you would consider this level invalid and move down to your next level. I guess I felt the market was saying that it...

Here's the chart

This is the S/R thread so I will throw out a S/R question. Let's say you are trading and you think the market will support prices at the 1337.75 level. And therefore you have a breakout entry planned for 2 ticks below at 1337.25 (this was todays trades for me :) ) As the day started out...

That sounds like the perfect time frame for me because I tend to be a night person generally. I was looking to make a move to SE Asia for the better hours and low cost of living. Eastern Europe would be incredible but I'm guessing the cost of living would make that plan more challenging.

And I'm out with 2 pts on the trade!! No strikes against the disipline and up 1.75 pts on the day I'm stopping now!!! This is usually when I start overtrading my way into a losing day. Taking yet another que from the thread starter!! Who knows? Maybe this could be my first profitable week...

Here's the potential flag forming on the 15m chart edit: my long awaits @ 1343.25 stop mkt edit2: here we go - long 43.50 with 2 pt stops

Another one, and at resistance. Is it the perfect storm (i mean trade) or another devious trick.

Anyone else?? Long at 40.50 edit: out with 1.25 pts (still down on day)

KT!! Are you actually from/in kiev?? My last name is Ukrainian and that's how I got the nickname "twink". Gotta love thoase military brothers for always hooking a guy up with a great nickname. (actually had it since elementary) If you're trading from there - what time does this market open...

Way to go!! You can be my Cap'n anytime with trading like that :) I'm also at minus 2. Minus 1 pt times two trades. Last chance if there's another setup only :cool:
