Short 1436.75 going into 10:00 ISM. Stop at 1440

Since I'm a novice in every sense I wanted to ask. I see the S2 pivot at 1444.50. If it fails to cross that again is that a good point to sell?

Good work!

Here are my trades from yesterday. Cars Entry Exit Points Gain Initial Stop 1 1,460.00 1,458.00 (2.00) (105.50) 1458.00 1 1,456.75 1,456.00 (0.75) (43.00) 1454.50 -1 1,454.00 1,452.75 1.25 57.00 1456.25 -1 1,454.00 1,456.00 (2.00)...

I use ThinkorSwim right now and can do that. I'm in the market for a new charting software and without shelling out huge bucks it looks like the best bet is to move to a new broker. (lower commissions too!) Right now I'm eyeing OpenECry but I am really quite partial to Ninjatrader. I'm going to...

Thanks, I need some encouragement right now. It feels like I'm reading everything backwards while I"m still working to get my bearings. That's why I'm only working with 1 car until I can at least break 50% on my trades.

Out at 1452.75. Got greedy and didn't sell when I should have at 1451.25. Took +1.75 though. Working at recovering my losses :)

Went short at 1454. Just moved stop to breakeven. Thinking of a 1.5 pt trailing.

Good call, just blew through my tight stop on my long.

Long at 1456.75 looking for a scalp. RSI was crazy low at the bottom of the bollinger band.

Hope your stop was above 1461. I got blown out.

Is there any news coming out at 2:00? Seems like we've been trading flat for almost the whole hour.

Long at 1460, stop at 1458.

Eyeing the 61.8% fib at 1459.50 for a bounce back up.

Nope, I'm new 'round these parts.

Bah, I liked this rally at 1458 but was too chicken to buy in. I didn't think there was enough volume.

Stopped out, can't catch a break.

Eyeing a long around 1456 or 1455. edit: 2 min bar closed higher after downtrend. got in at 1458. 2pt trailing stop at 1456

At the risk of seeking over-explanation are you saying that I am incorrect in assuming that I am trying to squeeze too much out? Would you advocate continuing with my 1 car trades but perhaps with a tighter stop in order to let the losers get out early?

Rough day yesterday. Two things I need to work on is overtrading and taking profits. I let two winners go because I got greedy. I also felt that wave of emotion overcome as I started having a few losing trades and I need to control that. the 5-8-13 Bollinger wasn't working to well yesterday but...
