I know it could've gone back to break even and that's why I took my 20 ticks, but why didn't it tell me it was going to immediately drop another 30+ ticks ???

Brain slippage. Exited my breakout short about 30 ticks too early. EDIT: ...by assuming that past performance would indicate future results :eek:

My skill was right dandy on my first and second trades and then deserted me with a vengeance on the third :mad:

Just place a profit target wherever you want; it will fill at some point during the inventory report no matter where price ultimately ends up :D

What are you saying has changed, specifically? Price still goes up and down every day, every week, every month, and the swings are more significant in the past 4 years than in the 3 years before that.

Nice trade, Matcha, and an aggressive entry, lady! Here's something that may help you squeeze more out of a winner: You were targeting the next resistance. Make that a mental target and if you get the expected breakout, then lock in that level with a stop in case the breakout fails. If the...

Damn, Puddles, that was some really strong POT you had there!

That's a great article, Austin, thanks much!

Talon, you've nailed it here. People are programmed from early childhood to be right. Take tests at school and the more you're right, the better your grades, the better your grades, the more praise, toys, money, ice cream, whatever, you end up getting. If you're really good at being right all...

I'm still trading the front month.

After today, yesterday definitely looks like an "A-" in comparison :p +$367 I came into the day with a long bias and this negatively influenced how I managed my "schiz flip" trade, and I left the entire move on the table through bias/mismanagement. Had a b/o trade that fizzled and when I...

LMAO! I keep POT up at all times on one of my DOMs and when I opened my platform this morning and saw $145's on the DOM I thought someone had messed with my setup. As for why the predictable pattern reverses: Every trend gets tired eventually.

PCLN doesn't belong in that group. They're rationally valued.

Oh come on, that turned out to be one of my best trades last week :D

It seems like every morning after 3 am ET, the market sells off. It's like you could place a time-triggered short order with a 5 pt target and get filled by RTH open Since that pattern is now so predictable, we should all do the opposite.

When halted, always good to be trend-side :D

Looking at Sal's broken crystal ball, I see a continuation down to 1052-1055, where some support should hold, followed by a pullback to 1080 and a break back down through 1050.

That explains it! I'm vegetarian! And since my Profit Factor was pretty much off the charts today, I imagine I should have dinner at PF Cha-Chings :D

If this is a veiled request for me to teach you how to obtain a profit factor similar to mine, my class is currently full :p In all seriousness, though, I don't think the fact that I didn't know how to calculate profit factor, or that I have no idea what MACD is all about, or what a constant...

I open the trades window and make sure it's the selected window, then Alt-PrintScreen and paste.
