Yes, but you were also taking a major risk doing that, you would have gotten filled before the number, and the market could have instantly tanked against you. Its all a matter of risk appetite when playing around these major mkt moving numbers.

It wouldnt have been 10 pts, unless you bought BEFORE the news or had a buy stop in BEFORE the news. Anything done after the news would have resulted in basically the same fill that you got so don't sweat it. :) Yes I trade ES, and no I do not trade before 10 am numbers. That's just my approach.

You need a live news feed, 10 am sharp the numb came out. Should of had a buy stop in, might have gotten filled a bit earlier. If you didnt have a buy stop in, you would have most likely gotten about that price you have anyways. It was a quick sweep up.

Well, if he can stay healthy, Minn has a legit shot at the SB. No one has really mentioned their D but they are solid. Against the run, they are the BEST. So you take a very good defensive team with the BEST running game in all the NFL and throw in a QB who, if healthy, can be a top 5-7 QB in...

Lay off him, he won an NCAA title in 2002. What else you want from the guy??

I had absolutely no life outside of learning to trade. I sacrificed some friendships. I spent nearly every weekend studying charts (in addition to every weekday), linking relationships of this to that, filtering out what didnt work, adding what did. After 1000's of hrs, you can eventually piece...

Yes, and that was 10 yrs ago that I paid my dues.

Not at all, but you better be prepared to spend at least 2 yrs not making anything while you learn.

Thanks Baron, it looks like its been fixed

Coldie coldie coldie, tsk tsk tsk :p

haha :D

Death? Disease...and THEN death?

Right on. For me, I'm just concerned with KNOWING what time certain numbs are being released so I can be flat (most of the time). And then, once news hits, I trade according to what I see. I don't even know the estimates or the actuals or any of that. I let the big players figure that out and...

"COLD", I know you don't believe in God, why are you pretending? :p

Numbers don't matter, only how the big boys REACT to them that matters (for short term trading).
