stay focused romik! i know you can do this. any chance you can throw in some Dow mini calls? hold off on those though...i'm hitting the sack...will check back in the morning...which is your afternoon...or something like that. why can't everyone live on east coast time? :mad:

Gary, I was reading through the journal and noticed that you will take the same signal more than once a day. Under what technical parameters will you do this? Would today's price action qualify? MDT

12:00 reversal anyone? you guys thought that was volente! :D :D :D

Gary, On average, how long do you give the trade to get your 2 points? I would imagine you like to see a straight run to your target with few pauses along the way. How do you know when to give up on your 2 points? Just experience? Nice trade btw...also glad to see romik didn't have to wait 4...

YM keeps banging it's head on the 11375 resistance.

Would that be the Merck jury? They just gave you that little pullback. But like I always say... A wise man once said, "It's a T-day fool!". :D

Man, I put my hands in my pockets last week and I plan on keeping them there for a couple more weeks. Failed breakouts. Low volume. Not for me. I'm just fooling around on the simulator trying a few different styles. I'll keep my normal breakout trading on the back burner til mid-September...

Ah, summertime trading. 4 hours to get 2 points. Good times. Way to go romik! Hey, how's the march to a million going? :D MDT

YM needs to break 11300. MDT

Back when MyMini was Rickshaw Man he was a pretty darn good 3-5 lot YM trader...same scale in, scale out method...long only...great at reading the swings...great at understanding all this economic crap that manipulates the markets... I have no doubt he still trades 3-5 lots, but he's smart...

Good luck with the calls JJ! MiniDowTrader

Tee it up, baby! :D I might just hang it up til mid September. My stuff ain't workin' in this chop! MDT out!! ps: maybe i need some new stuff! :D

Ouch! :D :D :D MDT

That post looked fishy to me. He's been taking heat for not posting losses and then all of a sudden he takes a HUGE hit like that? I don't know what to believe. Makes me think it's sim trading...and I certainly hope for his sake it is! :eek: MDT

Thanks boro...makes sense to me. Welcome Cariocas.

•Fed pauses=economy slowing=profits slowing=lower stock prices. •Fed raises=economy still strong=profits strong=higher stock prices. Okay, for those of you who understand this stuff better than I do...please explain why my reasoning is wrong. All I hear is a pause is good for the bulls...

What?! And give away my 15m ORB super-secret strategy? Okay. But I warn you...be prepared to be under-whelmed. :D :D :D MiniDowTrader

Stopped out. Okay. I get the hint. Done for the day. Still got time to hit the driving range. Good luck to you guys today! MDT

I've got a YM long trade with a tight leash. Since the ES hasn't really broken out of the opening 15 minute range my hopes are not high for this trade. Yeah. I should have just grabbed the clubs this morning and teed it up. Got a dentist appointment Tuesday to keep me away. Looks like...
