Bought 5 YM 11254, breakeven stop. Looking up to 500 pts.

I'm glad, driving a SUV is so ostentatious. Especially when its a single person pulling up in a h1 or h2. I agree I think anyone driving a SUV now is "chump". (Thats what I think at least).

i stopped out on the pullback before it exploded, hit me within 2 ticks :( All cash now. A bit more than $14k left.

market will rally regardless of what the #s are, we are in a short squeeze

i stopped out of gold breakeven. Got chopped for around -10 pts on YM yesterday. Today entered ym at 11217, stop is breakeven. Currently account is around $14,100. approx 22% drawdown, although about 1/2 of that was because I was testing some new strats in this account. I have...

feels like a bear market. Even if it gaps, see if it sells off or holds

i think we are squeezing higher, the question si where does the squeeze exhaust to figure out if this is real, feels like it could test near previous highs (kinda a W pattern on weekly).. but definately feels like a squeeze going on.. prob on low volume summer gamez...

so if your stock drops when the markets rally what does that tell you? If you are a seller with quantity what do you need to dump your stock without killing the price?

Try any real technical patterns. Buying oversold/relative stength doesn't work in bear markets, that is, if stocks are selling off while indicies rally, the market is telling you something. I think you were smart to go to cash and stop using margin. Most people revenge trade their way to 0.

it looks like it broke to the downside but no follow through so far; although the market has been rallying. Interestingly, it is holding below 391 area which is what appears to be the bottom of the triangle, is that part now resistance? Ideally you want to see a strong move on a break of a...

BAC, Wachovia, etc clearly are clearly more powerful and have better lobbyists (they've been at it a lot longer than companies that succeed through effort rather than regulation).

Depending on time frames, have you thought about adding something like ADX or something to determine if there is trend/volatility? Or perhaps you can add in increments of 1 pt or whatever. Sideways choppy markets can be costly since they might appear to oscillate (since they flatten) and...

dont forget S&P companies profits have been rising double digits for the past few years, while average worker wages have been largely stagnant (especially adjusted for inflation). I'm not saying that the S&P companies shouldn't win, but more a question of how much. If left to their own...

survivorship bias

yes. Pretend you are am employer and you see it. Basically, it means your a scumbag in the normal world; and trading/trying to beat the system is unsavory character. Please dont tell me why, blah blah blah and how its not fair. I'm just answering your question, not looking for a debate...

i stopped out on EUR/USD for -6 pips (1 contract). I shorted oil at the open with a roughly .30 cent stop, looking for a opening range breakdown with hopefully follow thru we'll see. Still holding 3 contract of gold short.

analyst/consultant for various companies. If you want something that sounds sane, just say you do market research, if they ask more just get technical about what you do then confuse them and make it sound like companies you are trading your doing business with. use terms like sellside...

well, i had some $$ left over form the goog stop out (on the option) so I took 1 USD long/EUR SHORT, i missed this entry like 200 pips ago so this isn't optimal entry but i found a low risk option here, 12 pip stop, looking for 200+ pips. If I stop out I will be down like $150. Gold short...
