long 9:33 at 1283.25 stop 1281.75 tgt 1285.25 Brooks used a sort of twin up/down for the logic behind this Says it might take an hr or two, if it goes towards the tgt One of among many of his 'if you are long/short here, you'd do x,y,z' trade possibilities.

In short at 1285.50 8:24 stp 1286.5 tgt 1282.5 opps, out with +1.5 8:36 I was changing my stop and inadvertantly entered it as a limit order. Might be good tho, Al brooks.... I signed up for the last 2 weeks of Jan... he is talking possible exhaustion in the last large bar down.

Was planning to trade today while listening to Al Brooks talk about the day as it progressed. But became to caught up in his analysis to actually place a trade! Learned a lot tho. May not sign up for more till Feb...

Hey Jas, I sat in on Al Brooks free 2 days of listening to him talk as the day progresses... If I heard him right he sees one possibility of the ES retesting back to 1250 or so. ...with lots of 'ifs', etc. Maybe it will happen!

Yes, that's cool. I've been spending my ....rest of the day off sitting in on Al Brooks free day of watching him talk about the market as it moves. Notice him looking at other time frames and markets and compair what's happening. Fascinating to watch his thinking process as he puts in...

Thanks ammo, I think I see what you are saying. I meant not that my rules are inflexible or not set, but like today I was just one beat to slow to impliment them... market just moved one step faster than I was processing. One online friend has the saying 'when I watch my step, I bump my...

Actually, this kind of day is very important to me. I started this journal with a litteral event with my Dr. The key quote here was: "I'd had a brain injury a few years back. This year I was distinctly proud of being clear enough to tell her that 'how my brain was doing' was a question...

I'm in long, but not happy with what I did.... just a step to slow over and over.... I was aiming to bracket the 2nd bar of the day, based on the first. But The 2nd bar was moving faster than my entry technique, so I chased it up and didn't get in until 1.25 pts higher than was best. I've...

Freed up time for look at the close long at 1:59, 1279.50 Again, it was crossing the MA's, and above the long term TL Out 2:02, 1281.25 +1.75 Not sure why I picked that as a tgt, it just seemed right! More was doubtful. Must be over the flu finially, the set-ups are working again!

9:37 out, 2 pts Have to take off my trading hat for the rest of the day... still catching up.

8:57 in long at 1281 tgt 1283 stp 1279 9:20 moved stop to 1280
