ya its tough to figure where the trend is in this market (past few days). I got distracted this morning; but a few times I was going to place a trade and the market would have moved against me; if it wernt for my distractions I would be sitting in the red on more YM trades. But thankfully...

jz, How come it has been a bad day for you? Maybe we can learn something about our mistakes.

I know what thread your talking about - read that whole thing. At first the guy blamed IB for it. But then people showed him where it was his fault actually in not telling IB not to exercise.

I cant figure out the YM chart so made 2 trades; made a few points. Then I shorted DOW (the stock not the YM :) near its low and watched my profits go bye bye. I was wishing I was in AMD today. I like the company. But was 'scared' about getting in a stock that was 'overbought'; lol...

I wanted to post a little learning experience I am having. -this is one reason I do not like options (but I still trade them ;) I heavily bought some AMZN nov calls around the middle of oct. I had decided I was going to buy them and hold past earnings. All 'my' cards told me that it...

I agree with hajimow, Uninvited quest - the name seems to fit your chat style. You seem to be very critical of Multi - I mean people have a right to their opinion but you seem to be sure attacking him at every opportunity. It appears Multi has had some success in the past ie from his...

JM long time ... was a tough market today JM; no real trend; least nothing that I liked.

I traded today; messed about with some options.

Toad, I'd like to hear more about your options trades. I've been trading options for awhile now. Similar to you except my time from is usually 2 days - 1 month. Do you look at delta, gamma etc? or do you just make the trade based on what the chart looks like? What kind of spread do...

I'd definately read your book Toad :) I'm in a similar boat; going from options to futures. Although I never made money consistantly trading options; I have had alot of successful trades. <<< my money managemnet skills is what the main problem is and lack of a solid trading plan. I've...

Rick, "Man I don't miss trading these wacky index futures one bit, FX has given me relief from these dogs. I still watch them but good opportunities for the last 7 months have been few." Curious as to how you trade the FX. When I look at thier charts I tend to find the charts somewhat...

"it has to pull back." I cant tell you how many times I said that to myself and then the market showed me who was the boss.

I almost didnt recognize your post porgie ie no caps :) good post btw

Well I'm here to learn as I assume most people are ... volente has had alot of good calls in the past ... I was also curious as to his 20 point stop (and was surprised by it since I dont think I could live with a 80 point draw down atm) but like to give people the benefit of the doubt; hence...

volente, let us know how it goes ... btw what time frame are you looking at for the muiti day?

volente, your avg was 10414? did you hold onto that for a 80 some point draw down? dont you use 20 point stops? (I've been away for a couple weeks here ... out of the loop)

Whats that mean ie tick over 800 ... err implications I mean

man people like to sell here; I see a breakout well have to see if we break out see resistance at 10330~
