    Small Stops

    I have to chime in here as I agree with what you had to say in both of your posts on this thread. Indeed this topic about small stop is a very very important discussion that I hope many will participate meaningfully. I think stop and entry goes hand in hand. If entry is excellent, the stop can...

    ES Journal - 2012

    At least this post is so funny I had to laugh out loud. LL you might not be as annoying as many people who put you on Ignore think you are. There just might be a little bit of uncontaminated innocence still left in you. :D

    Laissez Faire, you handled SrRuthenate's accusations with eloquence and elegance and now he's a convert. If even you can not stand up to the thugs, who else can? Don't forget the silent majority who may still see goodness in your posts. I thought Picaso gave you pretty good advice:) OC

    LF, you just spent some precious sleep time answering an idiot's charge. Hey, it is late up there in Norway!:) But I can understand the need to defend! This SrRuthenate guy seems a sorry loser to me. Usually losers have hard time believing other people's success being real. This attack...

    Tradestation Service Unreliable!

    I used TS too and encountered the same issue on August 11th. You were lucky that it took you only 30 minutes to get through to the trading desk. It took me 1.5 hours! First I used my home phone which after holding for 40mins ran out of battery so I used cell phone to recall and this time it...

    ES Journal Archive (2011)

    He posted that trade at 12:49 and the 5min high at that time was 43.5 so I don't see an issue here. Hey, don't be jealous of a good scalper guys!:D

    2011: Rebuilding My Battered Account

    Sounds patronizing to me. Nodoji is well respected for good reasons by many traders in this space, new or experienced, because her reasoning makes sense and she offers clarity in her explanations. You don't need to say "most of it recycled textbook"--- as basic setups for trend following...

    A bystander agrees. LF's entry and target estimates have been impressive lately. Look at his first short trade entry this morning at 1029 at 10:45, at that point a LH was in, and he got his entry off a double top; even though price was range bound afterwards for a while, but that range bound was...

    Why isn't everybody selling options?

    Right on the money. For profitable options I would have taken profits before the expiration; only the unprofitable ones I leave it to expiration as it still might have a chance to break even or even make a profit in the last couple of days of expiration.

    Trading - like riding a bike?

    LOL... I use TradeStation's matrix order entry. Each time I enter a trade my stop loss is also automatically attached, so there is no separate button for stop orders. I guess that is what you will need in your LightSpeed -- just one button for the trade and stop order is simuotaneously taken...

    Trading - like riding a bike?

    Hello OldSchool, I know what you are talking about as this happened to me before as well with AAPL. After that terrifying experience I decided no more trade without a stop loss already in. I have since used OSO (order send order) function from my platform with every trade and that has...

    Just want the world to know Nodoji is my favorite poster. Dare anybody chase her away from ET! Because of following her day in an day out, my trading has begun to improve seriously. The value of Nodoji's posts is not in her live calls, which I don't care (honestly I'd much prefer Nodoji...

    Taking 410K to 4million by Year End 2010

    Though your methodology is "simple and clear", your excution of trades is mastery that it could be hard to learn for some (Ah, the dame elusive entries I always miss!). Also, I meant to say Higher Lows, and Lower Highs, LOL!

    Taking 410K to 4million by Year End 2010

    Nodoji, "painstaking detail" indeed you have given free to the rest of us! Your methodology you have made no secret of it -- it is simple and clear. The Higher Highs, Lower Lows and cheapskate stops are your trademarks. If anybody doesn't realize you are an incredible gift to ET he is a biggest...

    Trader P/L 2010

    Nod, do you mind if I ask you what is the exact time and price of this trade and what is your stop loss (I guessed 1189.75)? Just trying to see what you see -- the drop came very quickly and hard and if you weren't prepared ahead of time you could easily miss this one:mad: Thanks OC

    If you can spot the trend, it's probably already too late...

    I checked the chart for the exact points of your entries and exits and I dare to bet $250 that your pal Al didn't milk as much as you did from that big down trend. To come to that kind of accuracy is truly an art. I did have initial short entry at 1190 however as usual I meddled too many times...

    If you can spot the trend, it's probably already too late...

    Dear Ms. Nodoji, I love and admire your confidence in the action reading and your animating and colorful "Hey ho, let's go!". Of all of the details you laid out, your "Hey ho let's go" is going to do it for me I think!:D I would like to take advantage of this thread to congradulate you on...

    If you can spot the trend, it's probably already too late...

    Nodoji: These are my questions after viewing your trades from last Thursday. 1. First Trade: even though you had higher lows in place before you place the 1st trade, I also see Lower High (compared to the High at 5:20am or so) put in by the red candle right before your entry bar. Wouldn't...

    If you can spot the trend, it's probably already too late...

    Nodoji, thank you for your insights as always. Yes through reading your journal I also got Al Brooks book and indeed that is a good book (really hard to read and I am barely a quarter through). Maxpi, I also trade ES and as Nodoji said you have enough bars from overnight and pre market...
