Did not have internet connection for the afternoon due to worm infection on all work computers. Email didn't work either. No one can do any work around here. Unbelievable.

Good call on 1003.

Lost Internet connection after posting last message. Turns out all computers at work are infected by worm. Tough environment.

Cannot connect IB all morning (problem on my side, network at work is extremely unstable and unreliable). Glad I am not daytrading.

Wow, just noticed a bunch of messages from last night were cleaned out. Good job, moderators. I will not reply to harassing messages again.

Housing start number is a non-event. Waiting for sentiment number.

2 point (998-1000) range overnight, gut feeling today will be down GTC buy @982 No fear, no greed

I hope that you are right.

I post here because I want to keep a record and have discussions with people like you, however few there are. I never give trading advices to anyone, not even my friends. I only discuss advices offered to me. On the other hand, I probably have read more books than most people here so I...

The problems of trading multiple contracts and scale in/out are well documented on this board. I happen to believe if one cannot do one thing well, he shouldn't even try doing two things at the same time.

I am always early; that has been my problem from the start. It seems that I cannot help it. In this experiment, I am taking the brutal force approach: I will be early and stand my ground until I am right no matter how much I lose when I am early. Obviously leverage needs to stay low...

I know. My understanding of my indicators on my charts says it's down. What can I do? I have to trade with a down bias. What's different a few months ago was when my indicators said up then, I refused to believe them because my positions were losing. Before the start of this experiment, I...

Well, this 10% number is as meaningful as any RANDOM number. For the larger picture, I may have $50,000 in my other trading account, another $150,000 in money market funds (figuratively speaking, actual number may vary) so the loss is not as painful as it seems. I am not a good trader yet but...

8/18/03, Day 1 Bias: down Position: open from 990 P/L: 0 Sell and hold P/L: 0

Well, I assume you have read all previous posts. However, maybe you missed a lot of things because you went over them quickly. 1. I have defined profit targets. (a soft 5 points) 2. I have defined timeframe (weekly for bias, daily for entry and exit) 3. I have standards to determine bias...

For those who think "stop > target" is taboo, read this thread. There is always more to learn than one has time for. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=8734

Again, please read early posts before making comments. Are you saying this because you are in the conventional camp that target must be greater than stop? Well, then go read some good posts on page 2 or 3 on this thread and you should gain some perspective. If one appears to be making...

Please read early posts before making comments. I have a mental stop of around 20 points to make a soft target of around 5 points.
