Holy Mackerel!!! :) Hey Schizo, now you even make money in your sleep? :p

GS, this is excellent advice, although I would like to offer an amendment: "The best moves of the day will occur whenever <u>Nodoji</u> steps away from <u>her</u> trading platform, so it's best to <u>be nice to her so she warns you in advance</u>"...

Simple: you take a day off to unwind, reflect, learn from your losing day AND you take measures so that it will not happen again. A few suggestions: 1) Never average down. Unless you're Ammo. You're not Ammo. 2) Trade a reasonable number of contracts for your capital. [The margin...

Bolimono, I think you missed his last post on the P&L thread: Also I think you may have missed that he already blew an account in July. Matcha and others, including myself, have tried to warn him that if he keeps averaging down he's going to blow up, but he just won't listen.

So that's how you do it! :eek: :p :D

Don't despair, GS, and forget about the occasional trade that gets stopped and reverses (if it happens all the time, backtest indeed). Profit/result goals are not a good idea at all and will interfere with your trading. If you want to have an estimate of how much, based on backtesting, etc...

I look at volume at price (horizontal lines), rather than trendlines (<del>vertical</del> oblique) and 76-77 was the last buy zone. IMHO, either it turns here or it's gonna go down quite a bit (hey, WTF, this is top-MSNBC-analyst stuff: "if it breaks resistance it will go up, but if it breaks...

Thanks for the explanation, K. Still, I have seen you take quite large adverse moves against your position (don't know USD-wise, but easily 0.5-1.0 points) without flinching and I assume that you're trading a reasonable size for your account, so while I can understand that you're upset about...

K, although I'm finding a bit hard to understand your trading on the fly from your blotter (will see it later with a chart, though), I don't really see why you're beating up on yourself. If you had 6 grand in open profit and held, I take it you must have had a reason to believe we were going...

Past my deadline (shit, what a wasted day :mad: ) (This trade is in sim) Stop-limit (2 tick offset) to go short at 76.06 (LOD +1 tick) Edit: if it goes down below .20 and it looks bouncy I will change the order to a limit order to get long with stop-loss and reverse at LOD Edit 10:50...

Bull trap?

I know (or rather, guessed), I'm just kidding. :) Besides, why would anyone spend 10,000 in hookers when he could spend it on drugs :D

LOL, your wife better not surf these forums :D

Maybe, but keep in mind that we didn't sell off at the beginning and that the bears still haven't showed up :confused: Fuck, Kid is right, I think too much :D

If you start a cult, count me in, Masterrrr :) :p

:D

R10 at 80 and then down? (and later up some more)

This (76-ish) is my last support/buy zone, below this I see nothing solid till 72 and lower. Yesterday's action at 78.80-79.00 looked good too, but if the ES and EUR keep tanking, I don't see how this mofo is going to push up. I was shorting in sim as a warm-up after Claims and so far the...

Not trying to tell you how to trade, RA, but wasn't something like this what got you into trouble yesterday (leaving orders on while going to hit some balls)?

One for oil and oil for one :D
