And dumbass quants (I have a quant fin degree) say that price action is random =D =D Even assuming a predictable drift... just no, even a sub-conscience can somewhat predict what's going on - edit: What doesn't stand a chance is any sort of (artificial) gen intel. right now. Though I...

Aaaaand this is where discretionary tape reading is useful. A HUGE 86.46 to 85.86 drop there on the 14:25 bar. Thank god for my judgement, or I'd have lost some cash =) =) Aaaaaand it's still dropping on the on the 14:30 bar.. 85.77 atm =O

Wow.. My signals are saying that this will be a long move upwards. My discretionary judgement prevented me from getting in on this around 86.3 though -- may end up being a good idea.. We'll see whether this retraces downwards violently or continues the up-swing strongly

I've been consistently profitable all the past month. Today: Short 84.6 9:05 Cover 84.45 9:20 Long 84.8 10:10 Cover 85.93 13:30 So far, +1.28 today Looking to go short soon -- just waiting on the entry signal. We're ranging around 86 and i think the resistance will hold...

Filled short @ 82.4, +22 cents. Off to work

Short 82.62. Stop @ 82.72, limit buy @ 82.4

Deleted this by accident playing around with the post controls that youre allowed here on ET: Wow.. today was absolutely wild. Price was also over the place. I paper-traded at work (literally wrote on paper) : 8:25 82.92 Short (Got entry after I got to work based on my signals so this...

Just cancelled my stop & limit before work, filled market at 83.1 for a quick 17 cent profit

This is why I'm running demo right now =) Gotta learn before I get money ready to burn

I have to go to work. So, I set a limit buy @ 82.85 to cover my short. I'd like to stay and monitor price action.. This could cause a loss up to my stop order or really limit my profit if price looks like it's gonna go down more.. Or make me unable to get out if it looks like it's gonna...

down movement from what looks like a 24 hr high. Waiting for confirmation then going short. Wow.. I really wanna go short ASAP again. But I need to use discipline here.. Edit: Short 83.27. Stop placed 83.51. Going back to sleep.. Hopefully I'm making money when I wake up...

Thank you for the explanation Don. That's much clearer than I've seen it put elsewhere.

It sounds then like this would require 1 of 2 cases? 1) An exchange membership and a really large account 2) A really, really leveraged low commission account (prop trading?) What types of markets would you want to focus on and why? Trending markets would be 'volatile' by nature in...

I just shorted CL at 82.91... WTF I think my demo account charting & quoting software is running a 10-15 minute delay. According to the posted bid/ ask spread, I should have gotten short at 82.99. Oh well, I'm focusing on a move big enough that it should make up for that anyways... unless I...

I'm reading around these forums and apparently you can get 'rebates' for providing liquidity. What is this, how do you do it, and how much (rate I guess..) is it?

I understand now why people say emotions can break you. I've been wanting to go short right now so so so badly but I need to wait for my signals to get stronger. I mean, there's a good chance that I'd get a better profit if I entered right now.. But there's also a good chance that I'd just...

I'm looking to go short CL sometime in the next few hours.. just waiting on a confirmation signal.

So I developed a strategy for trading CL & ES. I like CL the best b/c of its swing patterns. I've been profitable last Friday, Monday, and today. I'll post my next trade for you guys.
