= 1152.50 = +4.50 200 initial risk 16.50 MAE 8 open risk +4.50 target stop not moved when 2 ticks away from target ... I just don't follow... I thought it was a tongue-in-cheek trade :confused: :(

Just enter randomly with no target yet with a GTC tight stop To guarantee that a killer winner does not put you back into green enter opposite orders in related markets (ES - NQ, etc.)

Ever heard of herd immunity? Even with the best health care you and your family would die way younger. Wait... you'd say it'd be a self-correcting society!!! :D

But are you being serious??? Real trade??? :confused:

Crossover in volume TICK negative and trending down NQ in the red

Nothing too crazy so far

Actually that's a very good point. But don't forget the mojitos :D :p

The top and bottom of the "chop" range. Right now between 58-ish and 63-ish. I.e. you'd be buying right now via a stop (stronger confirmation, but wider stop) or on a pullback to 57-58 that cannot break down (or on the first close above the 20 5' EMA after one hour, blah, blah, blah...)...

I don't see a gap at 8:22 in my chart. Do you have a chart? (Intraday gaps happen because most traders/bots pull their orders from the book at the same time - usually before a news release, etc.)

Risky it is. But it depends on many things, key among them your (capital) staying power. Witness thereof that 20 up-and-down move. Also, Volente dixit: market goes up before employment report and goes down afterwards. So we'll see. Vol may be wrong, but he's no rookie.

First wait for the gap fill (check) Then wait for the chop (in progress) Then wait for confirmation and enter with a buy stop above the chop zone or on a pullback to the bottom of the range with a tight stop-loss (we'll see when/if we get there) All contingent on price action Always...

10 x 5 = 50 5 x 10 = 50 2 x 25 = 50 1 x 50 = 50 ... You will always miss some trades, if you're counting on THE trade and you miss it, then what? A smoother equity curve, not only means you will live longer, it also means it will be easier to add size and to compound gains...

Or of course, 41 could be the ultimate bull trap :D :p We need EMG to settle this... Seriously, where is he?

Let's see what the TICK does in the next hour or so

Last time Vol posted his average, I think it was around 36. We got down to 30. Vol, like Ammo, trades around his position and as far as I know he could be completely out - not saying he is. --- IMHO we can go down to 43-44 and still look upwards

Are you sure, Vol? It still looks up to me. What are you looking at? :confused: --- And where the hell is EMG? Why has Thou forsaken us? :D :p

Sorry for the late reply, LF, but my back is killing me (took a break). Like with everything else, you have to look at any volume reading as what it is at that specific moment. It can of course change in the blink of an eye. However, big differences tend to indicate continuation. Same...
