Seems random to me, but see it for yourself: On a 5 minute chart:

Before data is out? You have some balls... I used that strategy at the beginning of my career and averaged 10% a week for a while (in hindsight pure luck), but then got hurt bad. Isn't slippage in NG a killer for you?

Nice Natty play :) Were you just playing for a rebound? Inventories were actually bearish.

They just published the FED Beige book, which at first seemed poor, then good, then not so good and then who-knows. I was expecting a break either up or down, nothing huge, though.

I think I just got seasick - thank goodness I stayed out

Not really, API doesn't really move the market that much and the consensus is already a -1.4 draw, so unless it's an outlandish report we're unlikely to see 73 before the close (Asian session - who knows?). Now we'll hit 74 :D

I was going to say the same :D Then again, I saw why you bailed - Still, you had some nice trades today

Consensus is trend is down in many instruments, but then many of them are probably oversold and people are afraid of sharp rebounds, so...

Nice entry

Coming from FX you'll do fine, just remember to keep an eye on the euro. Equities turned after the euro, which was jumping up due to (presumably) intervention by the SNB and Brits closing EUR/GBP positions before London's close. Best trading, Jorge

I know :) but it tends to have lower volatility.

Or maybe we aren't going anywhere (Nasdaq up, SP & Dow flat, London/euro already closed...)

This bitch has been choppy all day.

Mabenn, I don't doubt that one day you will trade 100 cars, but Trader198 was probably kidding you because you said you had made 70 points (dollars), not 70 ticks (cents) ;D Congrats all the same, best trading

In the June contract (was down 8% some minutes ago) yes, in the July contract no (about -4%). Think that the equity markets are down 3%

Nice job! Before switching to the full contract you may want to consider adding 1 or 2 mini contracts as your position moves in the money (which has the downside, however, that you will be stopped out at BE more often). No trades here, missed a couple of fills and just didn't see the market...

This is what I have on my desk

Wow, sorry that you got stopped out by a couple of ticks before the break, but still, really nice trade

I think that entry had to do with your *guts*, not your god, but hey, whatever works for you ;)
