I was thinking of this exactely when you entered your long from before, thanks for the explanation....I guess my issue is when do you decide its pulled back TOO much and sellers are now piling on again, or when its pulled back enough and its go time for the long. Most likely its experience...

ES seems on a mission to get to point X but I feel NQ has already made it there

gotcha...just was confused cause i didn't see 85 on my charts :) thought I missed something ha relentless buying...someone woke up looks like

wait you were stopped at 85? or you just closed it out?

annnddd back to where we started. I think I also fall victim to account balance issues. I prefer to take longer term trades, more of a swing and position trade than a scalp, as I saw today really just a short covering day and buying would eventually dry up. But sometimes the large stops...

Yes that def influenced me. I need to not be so married to my ideas of direction.

Thank you very much for that, I appreciate it. You are right I really should not have put such a mental line in the sand at 1200, it really is just a level. I got it stuck in my mind that if 1200 was having a hard time it was downhill after that. when you said 69 was the bottom in part two...

cover 70

short 72

out...71....if i'm second guessing myself then I should just close...

very true, the market could give a crap where I entered...

yeah euro looks to be turning...not good for me...will close as well if we can't dip below 1200, won't go long though, just close out.

i'm always faced with the decision in a trade like this, do I cut my loss now and realize it was a bad entry location and wait for a better one or stick with it because it might turn here? I feel its down so even if I cut out now I would still look to short. Any advice from the pros?

back for more pain yes...previous stop is cancelled and waiting to see where I'll place it, over 70 most likely as that was a bad place at 69.25...bad entry location as usual, but need to realize if i'm working this is just how it might be sometimes. I am sticking with the trade as mr market is...

sell 60...stop 69.25...target---max pain...

does anyone else feel we really need to test below 1170 to really break 1200? I'm not saying a drop to 1140 (although that'd be about perfect) but maybe a 1160...need some excess to shake out the weak longs I say

niiceee
