coolweb -- at least i know this is not the only thread here at ET where you can't seem to find friends --- LOL! :D :D :D what is hilarious though is that i have made over 20 ES points for the trade being "wrong" for the correct entry and it seems in the ET chat room you can't make a dime...

yes i understand this but my mind just can't work that way very good --- i am not smart enough to trade this way. now i do something close to this in my ratio trade but that is automated so i do not mess it up {exceptionally difficult to trade ratio manually --- like when news hits}.

yes i know the "pit" is watching 1281 and 1285 now like a hawk so i am fully aware of this {you are right} --- but since we do not know what the market will ACTUALLY do yet {:D} i am "flexible" and ready with my method to react accordingly. you can never tell what the market will do and what...

Jackbyrd --- he is probably talking about Billy from the IOAMT chat room --- but what i am doing is the same style or mentality of trading that is taught for participants of the IOAMT room only i do this in a swing trade {while during the day i am taking almost all of the IOAMT room intra-day...

i would suggest these books also --- Steidlmayer on Markets Peter Steidlmayer Mind over Markets Dalton Technical Analysis and Stock Market Profits Richard Schabacker, Donald Mack Technical Analysis of Stock Trends Robert D. Edwards and John Magee

i do not have a clue when the market will have the next down leg {do you???} and i do not need any hope to be successful in a swing trade, but what do i need ---------- i need a trade entry management method that will give me the flexibility to be in the market on the day that it decides to...

you are absolutely wrong --- i am in no way dollar cost averaging. i am REPLACING orders from lower price levels at plus one tick {covering them --- NOT HOLDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!} while always holding ONLY the orders entered from the higher price levels to form the swing trade position. at...

do you read??? i have covered 1/4 of my position {1/8th and a 1/8th} for roughly 20 points, and my position has a cost basis of 1271.00 and today we closed at 1266.00 -- so yes my remaining 3/4ths of the original position are in the money as of close today. please do not ever try this ---...

well i was out of town on friday {the day several weeks ago when the dow was up something like 178.00} and the following monday so i missed my chance for the entry long. still had 3 good "long" swing trades earlier in the year.

yes this is exactly what we do in the IOAMT chatroom everyday for intra-day scalping off market profile generated s/r levels --- works very good.

i already have the long side covered 24/7 in a different trade --- "Ratio Trade" http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=51893&perpage=6&highlight=hft&pagenumber=5 this swing is a separate trade and only my 8th of the year (3 longs and 5 shorts} --- the whole purpose...

what you think i am going to be off by three points??? :D LOL!

see the Nikkei last night and then the buying in the EU markets that caused short covering all the way up to the ECB rate hike announcement ---- foreign inflows shifting over after our sell off yesterday. today the U.S. market had small foreign inflows {nothing special} but the institutions...

ok --- tomorrow i will be looking for any chance to put a 1/8th addition on to my position for this trade after the a.m. news releases. i want to add the 1/8th somewhere from 1261.50 or higher to have a greater then 10 point range from the new entries down to 1250.50 the low of yesterday.

Come to Vegas for the expo and i will show you some paper --- paper with numbers! :eek:

no --- emotions are highly overrated and i have already booked profits AND the position is still in the money --- and you can't beat that!!! see i am not "scared" to work trades like this because they pay so nice!!! this year i am 7 and 0 with my swing trades, and here in my 8th game i am...

yes EU markets had massive short covering pre-rate hike announcement --- and the EU market moves directly affect our futures in the overnight session {it is just that our futures overnight session volumes are extremely low ---- that is why we get so many gap fills of overnight session moves}.

not really ---- the nikkei does not affect or day session markets very much, but the EU markets do --- watch tonight at 03:00 eastern time for the EU open and see what happens --- that has a more profound affect on the U.S. futures. oh, and the nikkei was running up during our sell-off in...

you don't need machines to sell any market --- just make the phone call!!! "helllooo -- mya naame isa Borat anda i wana selling alla ov mya stock eh riiet noowa pleees"!!!!!! :D

yes you need to have a good gap so you can have a good gap fill! :D also nikkei did hit 15,000 tonight ----- ooouuuuuuuuu! :D
