confession #1: On a slow monday (treasury futures) this thread was quite an entertaining read.

Late today - had some computer/internet issues... Nice looking virgins today :D Sell virgin @ 118'02 Buy vigrin @ 117'155 already tried plan B today and didn't move fast enough - out flat.

Robert, I sincerely appreciate your comments. Thx!

Ok - I am going to reveal my PLAN B attack on the virgins. Drum roll please.............. open up a 5 minute chart of ZN or ZB with the following: 21 period EMA Daily Pivot Points Make a notation of the opening price in relation to the pivot point and the 21 EMA. If price opens...

Surdo - you should have charged money for that one! LOL! :p

Trade was NOT taken at 118'045 as the virgin approach reached 118'035 and that was close enough to violate the virgin. Not 100% penetration but enough to say she aint no virgin no mo! Second approach blasted thru! Sorry this is after the fact - I've tried to keep all my posts before...

Yesterday was one of those days.... got impulsive - made money and I know I didn't deserve to. Back to the simple - low risk trades. ZNZ9 118'045 is a very interesting number as it is the high of the last 40 days - for that reason alone I will be shorting if touched. Not really my...

Days like today are when the impulsive trader in me starts to seep into my psyche. First I should have taken the trade long at '04 - I was watching the DOM and it was clear that that price level was being defended. I hesitated and poof - she was gone. Next I had my limit to sell at 117'155...

If you had bigger balls than me '04 was a perfect entry point.

BIG NEWS in a few minutes. I usually wait for the dust to settle before entering - but if you have brass balls.... Sell virgin @ 117'155 then at 117'235 Buy virgin @ 117'04 I myself will wait 15 minutes after the news before entering any trades.

1:30 CST cancel all pending orders. 1 trade today - long at 116'235 out at 116'255

well i have multiple personalities - one a bricklayer who comes to work and takes the same low risk trades day in and day out, and a second who gets emotional and takes any sudden movement as an indicator that its time to trade. when i say "we" or "our" it means the bricklayer has the...

I'll try. Initial target is usually 4 or 5 ticks. If your not greedy and patient, you can almost always get a 4 tick bounce of s&r levels - even if it is clear that level will be violated. As far as stops, keep it simple - never risk more than you plan to make.

In at 116'235 - out 2/3 at 116'255 -- 1/3 left to run with B.E. stop - free trade.

Today's trades ZNZ9 Declining POC's indicate downward pressure so our initial bias will be to go short. SELL virgin @ 117'04 then 117'155 Cautiously BUY virgin @ 116'235

cancel all orders - no trades today.

Today's trades: ZNZ9 Buy virgin approach of 116'235 Sell virgin approach of 117'155 note: by virgin I mean first time approach only.

After lurking around for a few years I have decided to start a journal. My main reason for starting this journal is really selfish - in some strange way I feel publishing this journal will help me stop the impulsive trades. Anyway, the title. I love trading virgin approaches to established...

best advice posted on this thread. what i shoulda said :D

Surely you jest! LMAO!!!!
