sim (not reading well this market) long .46 For those wondering, euro is weakening because of a problem with Ireland's budget/debt, but dollar is weak across the board. :13 Stop to be and stopped out.

Nicely read and traded, Kid

Well done, Nod, sorry you missed the 82.33 entry sim Long .67, 20 tick stop :41 added .77, avg .72 stop at .62 - what a day! stopped out again at -20 ticks If there was some piece of news, we'd found out by now, so I'll be looking for shorts, contingent on the rest of the markets.

sim long .83 not trading live till I learn what this is about (massive stop run or fundamental change). stop 20 ticks (closed the previous sim trade - early it seems - with 103 ticks :( ) This move breaks the analysis I had prepared for the day, so I'm gonna have to rethink my...

You're telling me... I'm in... sim... there goes a 1 full point breakout I'm trying to find out what's happened, that's not your ordinary breakout, plus 82.60-83.20 should be a sellers' zone

Good morning everybody! It feels weird to be trading one hour earlier with the daylight savings :confused: If you take a look a the 80 to 180-ticks moves in the euro or yen at the beginning of the after-hours session you'll get a taste of what is to come this week with the mid-terms, QE2...

Don't underestimate bar-by-bar analysis of the last session; remembering what happened next makes it easy to cheat, even if unknowingly, so you cannot take your results as a benchmark for live trading, but said analysis will help you mightily with your trade management, particularly with the...

Redheads! (With Paladino on the loose, I'd let "chicks with animals" rest for a while) :D

Hmmm... :confused: Simply a buy limit order at 38 with a target attached at 38.10 No stop? http://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/trading/orders/bracket.php?ib_entity=llc

:11 stopped out be - thank goodness it's Friday. Great day today with great opportunities (yeah, and some chop too). Incredible how I managed to lose (a little) money :D Thank you, Gov, I hear you, next week I'm going to stop thinking and simply put on the damn trades... Pinky swear :D...

When we were chopping higher I thought we'd get a shot at 86-87, but now this seems to be getting nowhere... which, of course, it's when THEY make their move :p

Hahah, ok, that's like a kippa, right? Thank goodness, I thought you were writing cilice in Cyrillic! :D I have enough with the mental torment.

The saga continues... :35 bid .43 stop to .34 :41 upped bid to .45, filled & be to .37 Target a break of the HOD - unlikely, but the ES has been so sleepy that if it makes a move stops are going to jump left and right. No more adds (after hours) - should have killed this at .60 anyway.

It's the Catholic education I had as a child, I still have side effects... :D Thanks, Gov, I thought you were gone for the day. I know, get long at the test of the minor low, stop below said low, but I wait to see how it reacts and was a tad too slow this time (basically because I...

sim long .29 bid .05 before, didn't get filled, not in a state of mind to chase & past my deadline anyway. Gunning for a bo of that minor high, target contingent on what the ES, euro and gold do. Stop 10 ticks. Will add :59 bid .39 to add stop to be at .29 :01 cancel bid to...

Still a mixed day, but I think the equities have one more push up, maybe to 86. Copper and oil (& gas & HO) only major markets significantly down (ok, and the Nikkei because the yen is up).

1) Yes, I should have gone long in the 11:50-55 bar at .60-ish (add at .70, wait for a pullback, add at .80-ish) and targeted a test of the previous LOD, but you can see I was writing things like "up, up"; "go baby, go"; "fuck"; I'm jinxed"; etc., all markers of loss of focus and a tell of being...

That leg down was partly due to a terrorist threat. Now it seems it was a false alarm. http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE69S37320101029 I know, I know, it's all in the chart :D Thanks Gov, now tapas, siesta and back to the game.

On second thought...

As per my methodology I would be getting long on that second rebound from .60, but I'm busy...
