JW, Yes...after that long up move, I was looking for a retracement down to the previous swing high...which was around the 736 area. Normally I don't use pre-market swing hi/lo's...but that one was close enough to market opening so I felt it would be fine. My stop was set 2 ticks lower than...

Another good day for me....although I did miss the LARGE move up around the oil inventory report...didn't want to trade around that one though. The only thing I noticed that I did that was dumb, was on my first afternoon trade...notice I went long on a retracement (the right thing to do), but...

Sandy, Thanks! As far as stops I usually let PA take me out...simply b/c the ER2 is a wild child....it'll whip up or down 1pt and you won't even see it on the DOM hardly, it just goes and comes in a flash. If I'm taking a countertrend trade though, I usually use a 2pt stop, gives enough...

Here's my chart from today...still trading the ER2 as I seem to be "feeling" it better than the ES. Only took shorts as the retracement moves up never could take out any meaningful resistance. Total of 4 trades for 3.7pts One thing I have got to stop doing is trading right before...

TOS has a decent options simulator...only thing that I ever saw that was unrealistic is it gives you fills on complex spreads (DD's, IC's) a little more easily than in real life on less liquid instruments. The fills on the more liquid options was decent though. You may just call around and...

your better off just trading the options on the ETFs...IWM or UWM for the RUT...Q's for the NDX. Thats my opinion

wish every day had a nice trend like today! oh well, probably back to chop in the near future and will give back everything I made today! :D Here's my chart for today....comment if you see anything I missed.

Ok...here's my chart from today...traded the ER2 Luckily I stopped trading after the second trade failed, that trade didn't feel right and I was unsure of the markets and wanted to keep the profits I had made, and this proved to be a smart move....too bad I can't have that foresight more...

good to have a PA journal back....I'll try to post some charts when I get a chance

if you get assigned you will be assigned 300 longs at the new price for every 1 put you sold

when you go to your trade screen notice that should be a ticker for the old option (unsplit) and a seperate one for the "new" option (priced based on stock split) Basically there will be two seperate contracts for each month out until like Jan 10. On my screen it shows, for example FXI...

ha ha!! thanks for the laugh!......and where do I get the "I like it doji style" shirt?? :D

go to quote.com if you don't need the info real time...otherwise you'll have to pay for a news service. Also if you by chance use TOS or OXPS, they both have live news streams for free that have this info.

what are you thinking?.....continuation of the bearish outside day tomorrow down to the uptrend line and then a bounce back up over 1315 to confirm the breakout?

on your chart there is a little pencil tool, click on it and it will bring up all the drawn object (ex. trendlines retracements, etc.) then just click and draw

I started when I was 18 trading corn futures back in the early 2000's with a local broker....but try Mirus...I use them now and they are great...Ninja Trader will do fine for you too, I actually like it a little better than Button Trader, haven't tryed X-Trader...looked a little pricey for my...

Well my reason for going that way was to get out of an area with $4.00 gas, no nightlife, and the oil town women...(no offense to any good quality oil town women)...and I already am used to the 100 degree temps Yes I am single....liked to hit the clubs when I went to college down there (TCU)...

Just go to Dryships's website...its on there...just bookmark it
