I have a fixed <i>maximum</i> 20 tick stop for CL & euro (10 for ES & Treasuries, etc.) that I tighten more or less based on the situation. Some of the most successful oil traders in this board trade with either a tight stop (Nodoji 10-15 ticks, EON Kid 10 ticks) or have a no-hard-stop wider...

Today may have been just one bad day, as traders ran to the sidelines while they figure out exactly what the implications of China's raise are (plus Apple, etc.), or it could actually be an inflection point. Either way, it seems volatility is picking up, so enjoy your $5,400 margins while you...

I'm tempted to say: <i>5. Hesitant. Indecisive. Procrastination. </i> but, I just don't know, maybe I'm not after all, I'll think about it and post an answer tomorrow. Gotta.pull.the.trigger.

Frank, Don't let today get to you, it was a quite unusual day (meaning that you will only see days like these every once in a while), while it's all too tempting to think you shoulda/woulda/coulda made a killing, not getting slaughtered in this kind of day is actually, imo, a good result...

Mr. Bo Chin, do you re-evaluate your profile as the session progresses? For example, right now, it seems we're building a new value area between 82.00-20 and 81.40 with POC at 80.60-ish. Or do you stick to your initial profile for the rest of the day? Thanks.
