Don't doubt yourself, LF, you've shown to have a good understanding of the market and never post BS. --- I'd say it wants higher

Exhibit A

Hey Josh, this is a family site, keep the bj's out! :mad: ... :D :p --- Nice trade BigSnack! Edit: ROFL :D Reply of the month! --- LF, I see what you're saying and mostly agree.

Easier to calculate (and thus program) yes; objective only up to a point... let me remind you of your previous and repeated discussions on RTH vs. ETH, 16:00 vs. 16:15, Fibonacci vs. Lucas, EMA vs. WMA, 5' vs. 133 ticks, etc. Not that I'm swearing by channels. Edit: Look at that! Who's the...

There's another reason. When you start trading, billions, millions, etc. are just numbers. As you start to actually make some serious money, your motivation to make much more decreases exponentially, whereas your fear of losing what you already have increases. While new traders may...

LF, yes, you're right, they express a totally subjective view, but... ... once drawn (the subjective part), then you have an objective line in the sand, a trigger if you will. :)

At some point I had to trade the British Pound because I had no more (trading - don't worry I was eating 3 meals a day) capital in...

(I don't trade lots of 20s) Fix your size at 3 cars. Determine a % increase in your equity that will trigger adding 1 car. When you reach it trade with 4. If you go below x equity, you reduce one car. If you go above y, you add one car. Rinse. Repeat. Going from 1 to 2 and from 2...

Stay away from her... I mean it... :D :p

Yet DOM flipped over badly 9 to 6 and TICK <-900 Gift or flip?

Not enough yet, but getting there. Also TICK compressing and trending higher NOW 6-9 --- Get in line, mofos, I saw her first! :D :p (No wonder sometimes people say we must be teenagers sim-trading from our mum's basement :p )
