gustav isnt going to take it anywhere. technicals are going to most likely take it to 150 ish at least to make a double top or greater.

not before another violent downmove in financials. i think there isnt much further to go but i think we need a capitulation panic to put the bottom in, maybe will happen soon

bullish for now, well prolly move to all time highs again inexplicably with all this bad news. then in 5 years when every1 thinks this is all over and we made it, dow at 20,000, shanghai at 10,000 well be at the top of that inflation adjusted channel as the dollar may still be weak and well...

nihaba is right, if you are a scalper especially the first couple of hours will prolly be better. daniel you need to say what style of trading you have then we can help you better

yes of course jumper, thats why i said make your own ideas of when not to trade- ie. you dont like to trade during illiquid times. my point was dont listen to other peoples arbitrary rules of when to trade. make your own that fit your product and style. this is obviously a specific problem...

dont listen to rubbish like that. if you see patterns and opportunities trade them. i tade at all times of day and there are plenty of nice repeating patterns in the afternoon US session i have found. for example alot of people say dont trade the open, but maybe one or two days a month i know...

yea i got disconnected twice yesterday too for a couple of mins each time. pretty annoying, but this does not happen very often.

agreed- oil to make at least a double top in my opinion. this is a great technical buying dip area, we could move rapidly higher from here. risk reward is great from here even if its going to crash its not going to do it without another big leg up first.

leave your computer. seriously. go out and take a walk or whatever. i have been there like you, and its only going to piss you off watching the swings. if your lucky you will end the day stressed out but a bit relieved. in the worst case you will get so angry you will enter trades again...

capital preservation is key remember. even if oil tanks later today and you would have gotten even you made the right move. you cannot expose yourself to that much risk when your account is only £1400 nice work exiting a bad situation, many people dont have the balls to get out of a...

really playing with fire here spanish. you have it all wrong here. it is pretty obvious to me, since i am CL neutral what is going on here. the traders are not stupid, they simply do not care about the news like you do. remember oil has been tanking for weeks now. prices historically do not...

no, despite my academic background i actually use no indicators or maths in my trading at all. i use price, pivots and levels. i trade using instincts, pattern recognition, game theory. no fundamentals or news trading. i have a high win rate as i am very good at predicting turning...

what the hell are you talking about? i just meant it was a simple concept to consider average daily profit per contract. PS: I studied mathematics at oxford :p

jesus christ why do i even come on these boards? every time we have a thread like this there is at least one fool who cant seem to grasp the most basic concept of trading. AVERAGE 1 ES point a day. AVERAGE! AVERAGE!!! did you get that? not 1 point targets. an average. yes i...

well some progress spanish. if you have good predictive instincts then thats great- stick with it. listening to others 'opinions' will get you killed i agree, but listening to winners mentalities, trade management etc will get you far. i use pure price action, only pivots and certain...

yes ib misses ticks sometimes, this is how. say we have a fed rate announcement. 10 secs b4 the number ES spikes a few points lower. then on the number it shoots upwards *instantly* climbing up say 4 points. IB might have the low as 1250.5 but the true low print was a 1250. This is...

you say why shouuld you trust the opinion of a random guy of a forum- unfortunately what he gave was not opinion. your analysis is opinion, based on YOUR interpretation of news, economics etc. he is using technicals and price action reads based on previous market patterns. the market often...

ib is great for execution and commissions. us and eurex futures data is excellent also, in a year ive had almost no outages. not sure about stocks tho, ppl complain sometimes but i dont trade them. customer service used to be awful, but seems to be a bit better recently. still not great...

enjoy your moment in the sun spanish, in a couple of months well prolly never see you again. you have the naive attitude of the typical person trying to satisfy their own opinions of what they 'think' will happen as opposed to watching whats actually happening in the market, and looking for...

nice initial call doji. long is good here as it may well bounce up from here as dip buyers step in. my target: 1.53 ur target?
