The second mouse gets the cheese in the previous example, lol. I should have expected that, but I was too anxious and greedy. +-*/ Math_Wiz

It's my belief this morning that SPY is targeting a gap fill at 127.79. +-*/ Math_Wiz

Terrible day. Churned SPY, overtraded. Nothing to write home about, lol. A losing day for me. I need to stick to my stops, stick to my proper size, worry about losses, the profits will take care of themselves, etc. It was amazing to me how often SPY seemed to change its bias today. It's...

Didn't do much except churn SPY today, lol. But at least I made money. :) Actually, I also traded AAPL, TZOO, APOL, FFIV, and CMG today, but mostly scalps. I didn't really have any strong biases today, so no real trend-trading today. Thus, no charts to post. With that said...

I don't really have a bias for tomorrow as of right now, but I did observe that SPY broke through its April lows, and QQQ is well on its way. Next level of support for SPY, as far as I can see, is around the 126 level. The lows of January were 126.15, which coincides with the bottom of the...

I think I'm going to go ahead and start a journal here. I'm not sure how long it will last, but let's just see where it goes. I don't really have a single or even a set trading strategy at the moment, but I learned the "Wisdom of the Bars", as I call it, from Geez and Puddles. And by that...

Thanks. That's really cool that you've got that all worked out. It makes tweaking possible. :) :cool: +-*/ Math_Wiz

You seem to be a statisticaly oriented person, so I have to ask you, have you studied the statistics of your afternoon entries vs your morning entries? In other words, are you winning ~44% of your afternoon trades, similar to your morning trades? +-*/ Math_Wiz

Nice. Thanks. Do you typically route to ARCA, or do you prefer a different route for some reason? +-*/ Math_Wiz

Thanks. Also wondering if you typically enter your targeted exit orders immediately after getting filled, or do you act more like Geez and set an alarm for when the price gets close to target, and then decide what to do when the price gets there? Thanks, +-*/ Math_Wiz

By the way, which trading platform (or charting platform) gives you those beautiful charts? +-*/ Math_Wiz

I was just reading your old thread (Geez's thread), and found your post regarding your CF trade where you lost 50c almost immediately. I couldn't stop laughing. So funny! Well, the loss wasn't funny I'm sure, but God your thread(s) are funny! Thanks for sharing. Here is the link to that...

Thanks! And good job with all that stuff! +-*/ Math_Wiz

Man, you have to have quick fingers to type in those orders at 9:33 am after calculating your stops etc. Good for you! Just curious about your FDO order. Did you place a stop market order at 56.01 and get filled at 56.03? Thanks, +-*/ Math_Wiz

Why didn't you put your BHI stop at 71.90? +-*/ Math_Wiz

lol, thanks Puddles +-*/ Math_Wiz

Yep, been watching your trades and reading your thread(s) lately. I was reading Geez's thread yesterday, and I saw one of your posts from a year ago (5/24/2010) that I had a question about. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=148752&perpage=5&pagenumber=412 In your...

Hi Puddles, How did you enter LVS on Monday? The 10:00 bar went from a High of 40.72 to a low of 40.63. You entered a penny below that bar, as you almost always do. But how do you get that price? Do you set a stop limit order at 40.62? Or do you set a stop market order at 40.63 and they...
