Trading Journals Those type of gyrations are too fast for me. I prefer the longer end of day trades and using intra-day data for entering, or exiting. But not for trading. I have a confirmed signal down the for new trend. But I do expect an upward move for the moment. The high was...

Stanford Go to your gmail account on your comment.

TJ and Stanford Well TJ, I did not even go up to my trading room today Monday. Needed an end of day signal the trend had turned. Came up long after the market had closed today Monday and find that I do have a confirming END OF DAY signal to complement your earlier signal of a trend...

TJ I was playing this early Monday morning, with your early end of trend signals. The EURO and USD charts in particular. I find your signals tend to be too early. The market either goes sideways, or rallies another 3 OEX index points ( 66 DOW ) over the coming week. Limited historical...

The 2% rule as described in your post was not the point of my post. It is an element used in the post to reach other points/conclusions. In relation to your 30% bet size, what do you do if you lose it on the bet.?Each dollar will become 0.70., and you will need 43% on your next trade just to...

Kevin That is an interesting methodology you are trading intra-day. Why don't you make some columns and show your losses and wins amounts and deduct the commissions with a running account balance on the side? Then it makes more interesting reading. An example is probably still up on...

TJ Got your explanation on the 2% of capital trading business. Old news that one. On losing systems I agree, it is a good rule to follow. Where you have built in losses as part of the steady operating system. Which is why I repeat, I'm trying like heck to get only a winning system...

Stanford I looked at your website. I'm thinking I can do better than that? I noticed the commissions were not deducted. These were Gross amounts. I was interested in your comment about small manipulation of the credit spreads in trades. I didn't find anything though. Their...

Trading Journal You got a forecast for Monday? 1 1/2 hr to go this weekly expiration Friday. I'm wondering what trades if any to set up for Monday? I still have the trend UP. Wouldn't be surprised to see another 5 points in the OEX upward on Monday and Tuesday, as it stands right...

I've been playing with different time frames. Trying to locate something that would tell me the day before there is going to be a GAP the next morning and which direction. Nothing much there. The S & P minis chart told me it was going to gap at 5:30 a.m. before the market opened. But useless...

Trading Journal Just checked your Euro and it is marking a top. The USD is not yet. My OEX is not quite there yet, but getting closer. I have just completed getting out of the three CALL DEB IT SPREADS. What I learned was it takes 3 OEX points in a move to Break Even...

Kevin I stand corrected! Just re-read your trades and as I'm new at Spreads took a little to seep into my brain cells. You were trying a TIME HORIZONTAL spread against the long monthly and the weekly short? You actually approach it differently than I thought, when I tried it in my...

Kevin "Here is what happened in the last 2 days experiment!!Real money trades.Not paper trades as Iam trying to find the Holy Grail paying $ $ tution.Option Market maker and broker laughing all the way to the bank." ________________________________ Ha! Ha! Ha! Been there done that...

TJ Thankyou! :cool:

Trading Journal I am looking for a high today too. I'm hoping to get 517 in the OEX. I took a look at S&P 500 minis chart but they are not much different and not forecasting anything with a lead. Your QQQQ sounds right on! Though my longer range indicator does not yet signal a TOP...

Trading Journal I was re-looking at my DEBIT CALL SPREADS for the BULL trend. I got confused. If the market drops too much, is there any problem with the short side of such a debit spread, or can you just keep holding it until expires? I am of the mind I can just let them ride, through...

Stanford I've completed my weekly IRON CONDOR between yesterday and today. Got .10 cents on the upper spread and .15 cents on the lower spread. One side is free of margin, so my margin cost is $25,000. We shall see how we come out? I'm free now for today and at least part of...

Trading Journal "With regard to the estimate from model it is NOT end of bull leg estimate, but beginning of retreat. Models are still saying, leg is still up. If there is a retreat, the task becomes end of the retreat, and resumption of up move."...

Kevin "I trade normally Long calls /puts and do occasional bull call/put and bear call/put spread." _________________________ That is a new idea to me. How does it work? How do you profit? How long do you have to hold it, whatever the spread is?

Kevin something or other You got me puzzled with that comment. BULL CALL/PUT BEAR CALL/PUT SPREAD What do you mean? _______________________________ Trading Journal: send me your email address please? Some things I'm doing could be considered proprietory. (...
