And the tick chart:

Well, today was a snoozer, but I traded poorly regardless of how the market action was. I was just watching in the morning when the huge upward move came. Im glad I was out of the market...I waited for the news to come out then I went looking for trades. I've also noticed Im having trouble...

Please don't start a pissing match in this journal...if you want to criticize him, them tell him why its poorly thoughtout and what, in your opinion, should be done to rectify the trade. Either PM him with this crap or do this elsewhere.

I complete agree with you on this one...I just don't have the cajones to go in on this...could just be a bull trap, could be over-responding to slightly better than expected news, who knows. There is just a lot of positive momentum right now and Im waiting for that momentum to reverse before...

You Crazy! :eek: I have 1077.00 area as major resistance from both a pivot point and fib ext area. What is your target on this trade? Did you notice the bull flag breakout on the 5min chart?

Ya...I watched the ride up, wicked rip...I am waiting to see how this 1075-1077 level holds, waiting for more information before going in.

Very asute of you NoD :) I like that. So in your opinion, should I've not even played the breakout trade? Do you guys have any insight as to bouncing off upper/lower channels 'x' amount of times. For this trade I was thinking, "this is the like the 4th/5th try to push through this upper...

On an RTM play, are you just looking to fill the gap from the previous day? Or over a specific period IE. Mean over the week or last 3 days or whatever How do you handle gaps from say 2-3 days ago if they haven't filled?

You guys crack me up... On to today: Actually turned out to be a pretty decent day considering what I had to deal with on the platform side. My mentality was interesting today...there were a couple of trades I really wanted to be in but was hesitant because of the issues i was having with...

Ya I have no idea...I've got JRE6.20 I havent upgraded to 6.21 (just checked today and noticed an upgrade). Im always a bit nervous to upgrade java, it tends to break stuff and/or I have to reinstall a bunch of things. I would think it would be ok since its just a maintenance upgrade. Its...

maybe I won't be going over to IB... you need 20K to open a futures margin account? Am I reading this correct? http://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/p.php?f=tradingConfiguration&p=a&ib_entity=llc ok...moving on to someone else....I run linux (ubuntu) another reason why I like(d) ToS...

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! EEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! Seriously frustrated! T&S is completely frozen and bid/ask are jumping all over the place...dont even mention the chart. Im so sick of ToS....they fix, dont fix it, fix it, dont fix it. Got out of a trade b/c i had...

Ya I may sit it out also...i had a buy stop order in on the ES and it got fill really poorly/slowly. I again asked for a twitter message or email or something but didn't get much of a response.

Im still having problems this morning, if the market jumps around or moves a lot in a small time frame, everything just freezes up for like 1-3 secs. I contacted them and they said they are having "server issues" and they should have a patch for it later this morning. We shall see.

GG/NoD Thanks for all the work and putting this into a pretty sweet piece of learning material. Bol, You gave some great tips about the whole "knee-jerk"reaction deal...Im going to have to go and backtest/watch, how the market moves during those big jumpy days. Thanks to you guys...

Thanks for your analysis...makes perfect sense. I think today is one of those "need more screen time" deals to understand the SLOW down (or up) trending days. I definitely agree my entry was subpar and it would've been nice to get in earlier. In hindsight, Im not sure if I was even on the...

Little annoying the market tanked even further as I was doing my little report. Funny, I was switching back and forth and my chart and T&S froze from like 12:52-1:02. What a piece...everything was so good before they got bought out by TD. Oh well...going to research another broker/platform.

annoying day...ToS was being a PoS..ha! get it...ToS...PoS...I crack myself up. I guess they updated their software over the weekend and now nothing is working right. I couldn't even log on until about 8:30PST and even then the data feed was crap. I really wasn't able to doing anything till...

whats the twitter account name? The one I googled only comes up with 1 post from like a year ago.
