    Yep Limit. I use limits when countrend, if it's a momentum based signal or I'm trading with the trend, then I just blast in.

    What a day. Had my buy order missed at 710 (hit price but did not fill) Had my sell order missed at 770 (hit price but did not fill) I had this day dialed. Everything played out exactly as planned, but couldn't capitilize. Unreal. Still up on some small scalps but missed the meat...

    who here had a tough day today ?

    Lost 5K in the last hour or so (index futures). I made an error getting out of a position, both manually and auto. Then doubled downed on that losing position only to get run over. I was up 5K having a good day, after the disastor trade, ended up around even. I worked damn hard for that...

    If you could live anywhere

    I live in Whistler BC. It's pretty sweet here. If your dirty rich you can buy a home by the lake overlooking the mountain. It can get a little rainy so, if you got the big bucks you can spend 6 months here and 6 months somewhere else depending on the season.

    Do we have to go up everyday?

    I don't mind that it goes up everday. As long as the range is there I'm happy like a pig in shit. The currency situation is giving the Dow a tailwind.

    Scalped 11 Ticks on YM (23 --> 35). Out as well. Done for the day. Did not trade the ER2 @ 816.00 since my DOM would not open on the screen. Switched monitors recently and its opening the DOM on a screen I am not using !!
