You do the same don't you? It just makes sense to me because like you say you don't like to hope.

Thanks Electron, I do trade my calls as posted. But I actually enjoy the feedback. It won't change the way I trade though. The good thing about the markets is the variety. I think everybody on here trades differently we just don't impose our will on other but we do discuss our likenesses and...

I got ya. Sorry. And actually the numbers you suggested I saw those as well. I just think they might get taken out in the pre market in one direction or the other so the farther out trade would be in the direction the market is already moving. Either way. But you are right those could very...

Hate to disagree but yesterday we set a new low and today we came down to the same level, double bottom. So I don't see lows increasing. This makes support stronger so that if/when we go through it we do it quickly and powerfully. I just trade breakouts though. Too many bad things happened to...

If the price is moving fast through my entry I will let it ride. As soon as I see it slow down or reverse I am out. I see some congestion around 1270 so I will probably go for 2-3 points. since I put on larger positions 1 extra point buys me a nice dinner. If you know what I mean.

Ok Here is what I am looking at for tomorrow. Long 1268 - 1272 Short 1246.25 for the 2nd day in a row we reversed off of 1246.75. That is good, forms a great support if we can break through it. I want to break it by .50 before shorting it though. On the long, I want to clear the needle...

Thanks Jimmy, I guess that is part of the reason I was mad at myself this morning. I would not like it if someone used my signals for trading and I made money because of a mistake and they lost money. That is not right in my book. I post my numbers because I don't mind people profiting off of...

Boy, me to. There are a lot of things I could be doing other than just sitting and dreaming in front of my charts. Like chatting in here I guess:cool:

Truthfully, I haven't even been watching my charts since I got out.

Very good. I should try the NQ also since I have traded the QQQQ's. I mainly traded the options on the Q's. This is totally different type of trading for me. I like how you keep your charts clean and just trade the chart. I have my trading charts fairly clean because I don't like looking at a...

You are right and I was looking at that also. I just wanted to clear the congestion from 2 days ago first. Since the congestion was during lunch time it really isn't that strong most of the time. So your entry would have been great. Did you trade that one? Are you done for the day? Do you...

It did and this afternoon I will be happy. But I hate making mistakes on something as easy as order entry. I'll get over it.

In hindsight I traded like a dipsh_t today. I need to calm down.

25% margin in my account. I split my account into quarters. I trade one quarter of my account margin each trade. I usually use 2 point stops but if I get 1.5 points in the money and the market reverses I will stop and take profit. Today I didn't do that because I was trading like a dumba$$ and...

Oh Crap, You guys are right. I entered my order wrong and I was long 1260. I was just looking between my dome and my charts and caught my mistake. I should have been stopped out. My appologies guys.

No, first time through dropped back 1.75 and did not trigger a stop. I was kicking myself for not taking 1.5 points but I stayed in. I am glad now. As soon as I saw the higher low in price I was pretty sure it would make it.

That and they were gunning for trend line at 1265. They bounced it off of it.

Went long 1261.50 and covered at 1264.50 25% of my account. Done for the day. Yahoo another day in paradise:D

You probably won't see it. I was mainly basing it from the sell off yesterday and a channel I saw 2 or 3 days ago. Hope you got into it anyay...I already played it.
