Also got some sell short limits on June euro at 4613(stop), 4609 limit...if we break below 14 going to be a lot of longs stuck going to be a nice move even on higher timeframes. That trade should get hit should break immediately, stop would be on price action or at max 15-20 ticks.

I got long some may nat gas at 4290 stops below LOD, 77, and then I'd flip short stops above 86 then, based on Aussie and Asia opening...nat gas is such a thin mkt at this time of night tho

There was some nice acd setups in may silver today to get you long and short...tues open was (overnight) HOD 4345, week open 4310, and 2 tick +/- pivot of 4290. _Acd, or just trading the pivots and opening ranges would have got you short down to the pivot (right after NYC open), and gave you...

Too keep this acd discussion going, you may want to look into this setup...the past month, with the markets just inching higher each day (and not really any range expansion). _Breakout strategies, acd- a up type setups - aren't really working. _I've been doing this and it's been quite effective...

INFJ, where do u ex floor guys go to trade? I worked with a cbot ag floor guy during the commodity boom a few years back, by he left the floor cause of the volatility and risk him and his team was taking on...he tried trading the screen after that and just gave up after a few months and...

you had a slam dunk short sell stop limit below the day (and month OR) in LVS today at the 4714 level, I was watching it and when it broke below that level it broke so fast I couldn't get it in on my orders. Not sure if LVS had made an "official A up" but it opened up, with nice volume, then...

Mav, yea I'll email you, let's grab a beer in the next week or so, I was in the process of moving last time I emailed you then was without trading and basically Internet for like 2 months, I'll shoot you an email next week we'll have to chat. _ As for acd...I usually spend a few hours Friday...

You can really use any time period that has high volatility ( or a big order being filled), then just use that as your "opening range" value, then create some a and c values around that...just think about it, someone is aggressively going to the mkt to fill a large order, if the mkt is going to...

Does anyone clear through fishers firm, MBF? I plan on going to NYC next month to meet with some people at the nymex about leasing a membership and also in search off a clearing firm, I was planning on contacting MBF. I know all you need to open an account with them is 100k plus data/cqg or...

I didn't get through the whole 10 pages of this thread...but 95% of you are barking up the wrong tree. It's not about letting your stop get hit...it's about adding to your winners. Stops should be used to "keep you in the game"...the key to long term trading is to always be able to be there...

this is exactly right....The only thing you really NEED to know when putting on ANY trade (regardless of the setup) is where will I get out if I'm wrong....And if you have the mental disicpline to actually get out you could really flip a coin and just put on the trade. As long as you know where...

I'll trade the Euro Futures (mini & full sized contract), and I'll always use a 10 tick stop on all my trades and always try to establish an initial position, then if its "working" scale into it. I really let the market tell me how many contracts i scale into - but my max is pretty much 10 mini...

They are making markets in those ETF's (or getting paid nicely for that order flow)....They'll give you a free commission if your order gets routed to their market makers (it's just the new way of paying for some order flow!). A buddy of mine was a market maker for another firm like Fidelity...

If that was Brett's last game, it was a great game to end his great career on. Seeing him take the beating that he took and still limp back onto the field and play his heart out was pretty amazing. It really shows how much or an iron man he really is. Any other QB would not have finished that...
