man i was long es this morning and then afterwards short ym later and stopped for a loss on both, I hate when that happens.

are you using margin? or options? or straight stock. I understand you use straight stock (I think) but i dunno if you use margin

brandonf, just for comparison purposes, What is your average gain/loss and % right? Do you sell off target, say 25% or do you wait until the trend ends (lower low, etc) Also, are you finding the majority of your gains are coming from a few trades (iei what %, like 80% of gains from 20% of...

very nice thread, thanks art!

stopped nq -3.5, thinking of reversing and going long but too choppy waiting for direction, i'm shorting the nq cause its out of sync with ym/es

usually for scalping you go for high win rate, and inverted risk reward.. Ie you might go .5:1 but go for 80% winners, you need wide stops to deal with the wiggle/noise/chop thats why I primarily swing, I went short the NQ with a 4 pt stop, looking for 30-40 pts

500 net pips a week is insane. you could also double your money in the stock market every week if you bought the right calls/puts (actually much more), but come on its just stupid, 500 pips a WEEK?

at what point would you re-label/turn neutral or bearish?

as an addendum, most of my trading is based on psychology (not really technicals/fundamentals), but what does it say when looking at that chart that longs tried continuously for 2 DAYS to break above that 60 and failed (sold off end of day)?

Ok, I'm bored so I'm writing this. If someone could please post 60 min charts of nasdaq, S&P, and dow jones it would be helpful (You can even annotate it). Friday's action was uninspiring and for most traders I think they saw the clear divergences between NAS and SPY/DOW. NAS showed much...

nlslax, i just move to orlando, pm me.. also michael what time are the speakers.. anyone else going to this from here?

i ended up covering maybe it will open higher, I'll probably short NQ's as a laggard to dow, out +209 pts

man so choppy, i decided to cover both positions I'll be re-shorting monday probably NQ as a laggard to dow, plus we get MRC, so if i decide I think I can get short again at a better price. Out +209 YM out +.5 NQ have a good weekend folks c u

what timeframe do you see inverted head and shoulders I dont see it..

good idea i think, this light volume junk is hard to say which way it goes.. seems like they are trying to sneak a breakdown in but all you need is some institution to come in and crank it and mess it up.. tightening my nq stop for 2 either it goes or I stop out on that, YM i havent decided yet...

feel like they are setting up to try and crush YM into the close... or at least try we need volume!!!

nice work qt + blackguard, I shorted some NQ 1474 looking to follow Ym down,lets see what happens.

well so far we rejected 10200, lets see how we close, if its a hammer I'll close out my short, typical no follow thru consolidation :) Just when it looks like its going to breakdown it rejects, and breakouts the same way :0 At least if we can get a sideways market you can play individual...

hi all, i wasn't at the comp entry was on future at 1.2066 with breakeven stop now. I AM NOT IN THIS TRADE. Its still blurry maybe it goes maybe it doesn't. If it doesn't look for maybe a setup next week. Otherwise, I missed this opportunity :( Thats trading, folks :)

hey nice job quicktrader, you take that stop run? that would have been +6 NQ == 24 ym pts :) i stopped on my nq swing from this am, I'm waiting now, looking to reshort if qqqq doesn't blast off, if it does going long techs, question is do we rally into close or selloff, i moved my ym stop to...
