trying a short today, 86.00 on the QM. stop is 86.35, will try my best to hold this for more than a day.

hey aqua, QM doesn't trade with immense volume, maybe 10-15K daily. for me, i'm not scalping (anymore) and the decreased leverage helps me hold onto winners longer. do NOT scalp with QM. that said, i exited my trade at 81.30 :( trying a short, 81.90, stop at 82.15

hmmm... these rally spikes always tempt me to take a quick profit. going to try to hold onto this one though.

L 80.40 ST 80.00 this is in the QM. equities look strong today and i hope we follow along with oil edit: no target, hold until close, unless equities start to look different

out at 87.75. doesn't seem to want to go down too much and we're nearing the close

anyone else short here? i'm trying a short QM @ 88.23 hopefully we can get just a whiff of that down action from earlier, because i completely missed it

was waiting patiently for 83.00 to come back around and it blew past it scaring me out of my trade. gonna wait patiently for us to touch 83.00 again.

had a chance to get in earlier at 83.00, but got greedy and thought it would go higher before i shorted. hopefully it retraces a lot here and i get short close to 83.00.

We're not moving with ES today, what's going on? I'm holding short waiting for this to bottom out but we're not really budging.

DX is spiking but CL is barely reacting, it looks strong

About the late day spike from yesterday, No_Doji was kind enough to send me a detailed analysis of the action since I was skeptical it could be traded. With her permission I share it with you guys:

that sort of move has no predictability in my opinion, you're better off flipping a coin if you want to catch those spikes

closed out +62, it looks weak and we're up so much already since yesterday.

we touched a trend line, it's losing steam grrr

thanks guys. set stop to breakeven, now to try to control every urge to close out quickly...

got long at 97.98, right after the break of the HOD. gonna hold for 100 ticks hopefully

damn, i guess we shoulda known it was gonna break one way or another. is this a good long? ...

i've been holding long for an hour from 98.60. still waiting for a real break upwards. come on!

You're right BCE, that's why I took profit quickly. I think it's best if I just paper-traded the C/T urges since they're low reward anyway. It's something I've been trying to work on for years.

at 11:14 it was a textbook entry for a long, touched the trend line on a strong up trend, high risk:reward and i overlooked it
