Buy1Sell2, Thank you for your trade AND why did you make it? What was your premise? I know your bias is long and why go in at 1537.75? DMartin

Buy1Sell2, I don't ever remember you calling out a trade in real time with a specific premise and the reasoning behind your trade. You seem to speak in generalities and from my experience trading is much more specific. How’s about some specificity? DMartin

Excellent trade Apex! DMartin

Apex82: Glad to see you back. I was worried you might have blown yourself out but was obviously wrong. DMartin

Does anyone know what happened to apex82? Did he blow himself out of the market? DMartin

Are you sure you mean't to say hourly trend continues to be downward. I am looking at an hourly chart and sure appears to me upward. If you see the hourly chart in a downward mode could you please define that? DMartin

Before you had said: "Suffice it to say, that the trend was down all day Friday until the long signal at 3 PM EST which then allowed me to take long signals . Finally, I would tell you that we are currently in an uptrend today which can change at any time." From this last quote I gather...

Jimmy Jam: If I make a trade and communicate that to the group I can simultaneously tell you exactly why and where I made the trade. There is nothing difficult about the process. However, if I tell you the trend is down during the day and now at 3:00 EST it is obviously up what is the problem...

Jimmy Jam: I have been trading for 20 years mostly in prop firms and now at my home. I'm not so much interested in integrating a new approach (though not opposed to it either) as much as looking at specific real time trades that are called out and understanding the premise of those trades. If...

Thank you for the lengthy explanation and I am still looking for specificity. Let me explain. If I were to review all my all my trades over the past year there would be many aspects to those trades just as there are many to yours. What I was asking you was about the present and not the past...

Thank you. As far as keeping stops outside the noise that strategy has been quite a loser for the past few weeks. I have seen a few of his trades get taken out outside the noise. When it works it works and when it doesn't it doesn't. DMartin

So Bruce, I guess you don't know "exactly" what his trades and premises are!

So Bruce, since you know "exactly" what B1S2 is doing and referring to and is bored to death to repeat it--whould you please share with me his premise and where trades and stops were placed? DMartin

It would be helpful to understanding your line of thought and trading if you were to clearly state what positions and stops you have taken and what your PREMISE was. Generalities in trading are usually unhelpful in my view. DMartin

Nice call and trade DMartin

Wow! Quite a hold--unless he traded around it.

Apex: The market on August 6th went down to around 1432 then up to 1510. Did you hold your short positions all that time? DMartin

Long 1434 stop 1432

Coin toss it is!
