1 fill, 1 long, 1 loser, -0.08 average. Played larger on longs.

New one; Long XOP:IEO @ 0.7726 Managed to get a good entry even though the spreads are a little wacky.

Forex is much more shaky than stocks. There are many fake outs. One hting I found working is scalping when there are news (fed, numbers, ...) I mean big news with 100 pips moves and then you try to fade with TIGHT stops. You like it or you dont, it's not for everyone and opportunities are...

This morning was a bitch on shorts. Did you consider concelling all orders when the ES shut up from 937 to 939? That's 0.2% on a 0.5% enveloppe it increases the risk IMO. The FV is an evolving thing as the ES moves. I find that a lot of bad fills occur when the ES moves by a lot at the first...

You mean what mimics the future on nat gas or the spot nat gas?

8 fills, 7 longs, 1 short, 6 winners, 1 loser, -0.0044 average. AU took away the profits.

March 18 2009, the FED injected 1 trillion, confirming the bottom.

Before 1996, watch 3:27.

Captain, I agree, wall street is a whole scan in itself. As for the pennies, it's easyer to get good risk reward ratios than in normal stocks. In stocks when I get above 3 I find it good but in pennies below 5 you dont even look at it.

It's a pump and dump. There are many out there (lebed.biz, hototc, penny stock chaser,...). I'ts a scam long term but you can try to scalp a couple pennies on the way up. Or you can short back down, see timothysykes.com for the short version. They've put HEB down on friday as an example. Just...

I never used it. There are many oil spot index: http://www.wtrg.com/daily/oilandgasspot.html but I think the main one is WTI, so the symbol is WTI and select index in the list.

None, it's the spot. QM and CL are futures.
