Sold half position at 833.5

Let's try again: Your first trade represented a potential loss of $14,000 for 1 contract which would represent $700,000 TNW--assuming your stated money managagement plan taking no more risk than 2% of TNW. Now you make a trade of 19 contracts with a potential loss of $10,262 per contract or...

Sorry for the misprint--should have been TNW (Total Net Worth) DMartin

Your first trade represented a potential loss of $14,000 for 1 contract which would represent $700,000 TLW--assuming your stated money managagement plan taking no more risk than 2% of TLW. Now you make a trade of 19 contracts with a potential loss of $10,262 per contract or $194,978 if you were...

Thank you for demonstrating how not to trade. One might as well have a 600 point stop due to the fact you said the S&P would probably be going down to 200. DMartin

I would imagine we could land on Mars tomorrow or the 49ers will win the Super bowl this year but my comments are ludicrous. Just like yours are about the S&P going down to 200. Now you might in fact be right but you have absolutely NO coherent reasoning for such goofy statements. DMartin

Buy1Sell4: "DISREGARDED" DMartin

Very good and funny!

Your trading is random and you basically have no premise in what you are doing. In addition, you don't even follow your rules. You risked around 20 points on 5 contracts last Friday and around 5 points today on 10 contracts. You have stated you risk no more than either 1 or 2% on any one...

It's simply a point of view. If you are anyone else dislikes or disagrees with it and it is causing you pain and frustration please put me on your "ignore list" immediately.

Do you know the rational behind the trade? Does it have a statistical edge you could communicate to me? Do you know why his stop is 1363 or buy stop was 1381.75? Probably not and yet when I request a reason it's met with curb the emotions, give him some slack, start your own thread. I...

Whether this is a winning trade or losing trade is not the point--there is no premise or plan to this trade. At least none I've seen. And please, don't tell me to read the previous 6000 post to figure it out.

If one is posting a trade it should have a premise and plan. If one manages their trades by feel you are expressing through your behavior a lack of confidence in the plan/premise which in fact most traders don't have a plan/premise. They have read a little, observed a little and now they start...

Another random (no statistical edge whatsoever) trade!

Based on what premise? It appears to me random trading.

Look, he won’t share his methodology because it’s clear and all one has to do is read the past 5600 post or so. I asked him his premise and he refused. I would suggest you read someone like Brett Steenbarger and see how he "always" addresses the issues of premises and has no problem...

So you really had no premise for a stop at 1343. It was above 1343 and therefore, no one really knows where it is including you. Your at work so the market could go to 1370 and you lose another 27 points. As stated before, just show your basic account information which would show "average...
