Yes, exactly! I can see you're a very experienced trader! The solution is to USE NO STOPS. STOPS CAUSE LOSSES. :p

It's great to see these trades on the chart after the fact. In real time we react to technical setups, but then to see how accurately the price action transpires based on pure technical trading cements the concepts of "trading edge" and "probability". F11, that was very nice trading...

Here's a strategy for determining where the overbought US market will go: Short ES and place a worst-case scenario stop. The price where you place the stop is where the market will go.

I did a test like this a while back and avg around 218. Been sim trading CL every day for a while now and my avg is now 183. At $10/tick, speed counts! :D

Give me a couple months, I'll either be posting weeks like lescor or I'll have totally blown up trading CL :D

K, I've done this a lot in sim in the past and it's been 100% successful...so far, but it scares me as an overall strategy. On the other hand if I do have an actual stop in place at an acceptable level for my account I imagine I should keep it in my arsenal to avoid getting shaken out of good...

And here's what I did after spending the morning in CL school and I called these in real time by the way.

30 minutes intraday in CL? That's a long-term hold!

I only had 2 trades, because earlier I was watching the calls here and gleaning a lot of info, actually. Thanks to everyone making the live calls. I regret committing the cardinal trading sin of taking a 5 min break to get a snack at a time when a possible setup is in progress (test of...

I have a feeling F112358 may never go back to ES again...

Damn, I take 5 minutes to grab a snack and miss that great short setup!

Tell them you're a bull and bear hunter and these are the tracking maps :cool:

Now I need to master the "Schiz Flip"!

2nd half stopped @ 81.68.

Moved stop on 2nd half to .68 (top of the current bar and 20 EMA zone

took off 2 @ 81.65 when it kept finding support there at the 20 EMA.
