will be very interesting to see how this week plays out, dip buyers are getting paid and are hungry for stops.

I agree but there is no doubt. There is no reason to be short, matter of time before new all time highs.

dip buyers should step in here and rip this fucker up. are you still holding short voulevant.

You were 'all in' on 9-11 lol. I bet your ass twitched a bit.

it will be very interesting to see how the rest of the week pans out. We appear to have snapped back up to around where profile traders call the point of control or what I call 'the middle of the range'. Interesting to see how the Dow made a new ATH on Monday but the broader based S&P was more...

If you cannot stick to your own rules and get out when you should then seriously consider quitting as imo it may not be the career for you. Just my humble advice.

Yes if the market is liquid, what if the market is not liquid then you are going to get royally shafted.

Connectivity can be an issue if you are trading from home. At my prop firm we always had hard wired connections into dedicated trading PCs. The PCs were only for trading and we were not allowed to install any other software on them especially internet browsers. We had a back up fibre wifi that...

I suspect this is all you are going to get though. Let's see how it pans out.

Credit where credit is due you caught a really nice turn on this call well done.

you don't think institutions have large stops? mate you are a clown.

you are as bad as Surf mate. You keep shorting then adding to losers then miraculously making money as the market moves higher. Your latest call short is another terrible one, way underwater already.

translation - I went offside and decided to add to a loser by shorting some more delta and assuming more risk.

incorrect. Every trader has a 'stop' whether they actually have an active order in the market or not. This could be in the form of a margin call, auto liquidation by broker or a tap on the shoulder from the risk manager from an institutional perspective. The idea that you will definitely win if...

boy you love taking punishment! I can see technical reasons why people would want to short around 2438-42 but you are going to get run over unless there is some sort of geopolitical breaking news against the flow. The savvy players know where and why people are shorting, this is a classic trap...

Yes they are. They would much rather see steady 5 to 20% returns pa than 100% pa, volatility scares them.

Did you even read what Bone wrote? He said you would not be permitted to fade a strong multi day/week/month trend and hold it underwater a long time unless it was hedged. If you think an 85 point stop in the ES is silly 'no matter how well capitalized any institution or individual is' then you...

It all comes down to capital. Retail traders are conditioned to have small stops and do more spins as they lack capital.

You say wow like you are surprised with an 85 point stop. Tights stops are a retail thing. When you trade for an institution you don't use stops it's all about your book and risk management. I have called long with stop it's noted that you refuse to say where your stop is on your short.

I would be very happy long here. A break below 2350 would cause me to get flat.
