Shhhhhhh. Wally is in the middle of a vulcan mind meld with Ken Roberts or maybe Arlo the Cat.

Hey Db, Did you go long on the reverse head and shoulders? I entered at 1023.5 and got stopped out b/e before the big move up. Bummer! Oh well. Mojo

Db, I saw the same thing yesterday. Did you short at 1019? How long did you hold it?

I agree js. I have only been taking the morning trade win or lose and letting it go at that. The reversals are tempting though.

Db, I had the close yesterday at 1093 and the open today at 1099. Is my data wrong? mojo

This mornings breakout trade was an example of do I fade the gap even though it is less than 1% or wait for the first 1/2 hour high or low to be broken. If you had faded the gap this morning, you would still be in the trade and if you had waited until after 10:00 for the breakout you would be...

I have been using the 5 min bars to draw the trend line usually and the 3 min bars for exit when target is reached. However, Friday I used the 5 min bar as we were so many points up I didn't want to get stopped out too early and it worked out about the same if I'd used the 3 min bar.

Hope so Db. +12 here. Two nice days in a row.

I lied. I got 29.5 too. In at 1064 and out at 93.50 using 5 min bar to trail instead of 3 min.

Got 30 nq pts this morning on gap fade. Textbook trade I'd say db.

mdmbud and Lundy, you should also post your IB experiences on the futures thread, "Who is the best futures broker". Their is a discussion regarding ib, pro and con.

db, We're right at the 50% retracement of the 12/2 high and 12/31 low. 1071 area may provide resistance.

db, I was thinking the same thing, especially after watching this run up or walk up. I'm trading for real so I just took the profit but i've paper traded 2 ctx with the idea of taking 1 at +5 and then moving the stop to b/e on 2nd and trading it more aggressively which would have kept me in...

out of nq trade +8 on 3 minute bar exit.

I'm not sure what you mean here db. I entered at 10:09 at 1050.50 with initial stop at 1045.50. Then when price reached 1055.50 I moved stop to b/e. What do you see?

I entered the db breakout strategy at 1050.50 long. My target is 1060 since ATR is only around 23. Stop at b/e now.

I am confused also. Are we still referring to the ADX system presented by stocon to start this thread. If we are, the link to the no fear zone presented this method with a daily chart as it says a buy stop is placed above yesterday's high. Maybe I missed something.

Don't get me wrong as I love the U.S. of A but a place that meets all those qualifications is Mexico. My goal now is to escape 3 months of winter in San Miguel.

Hi Ditch, My experience with IB wasn't so great. If I had tech problems or needed to contact someone there fast, I went through a menu, etc., etc. The stress involved with that and sometimes losses while waiting wasn't worth the commission saved as adv.futures is another $1.00 r/t. I like...

Hi daytraderpc, I like jtrader platform. What is the commission rate for proedgeonline? Thanks.
