Yea me... L 64 T 69+ S 61.75

About like me. :D But only one day a week. I have a day job that fluctuates Tue-Fri or M,T & Th, F. So I trade on Sunday nights and either Mon or Wed from before sunrise to late evening. Day off isn't much of a day off to some but to me it's great. ES and oil Futures and equities for...

If this week is supposed to "set the tone" for 2009... institutions and govmt are fighting hard to float it. At least I guess.?.? I cannot view this week on purely technicals. (Obama = tax cut; who'da thought it 6 months ago!) I see anything over 910/11ish as bullish weekly (50% retrace of...

Out 926 :)

L 922 T 926+ or TOD (time of day) S 919.5 or TOD

Stopped out, but cheated a bit... let it drop to 931.25 after mental stop hit. Lost that warm fuzzy feeling. :(

sh 929.25 targ 925 stp 932.25 edit: targ 925.5

... Sold 66% at $3.10 (bird in the hand) I'll quit with DXO stuff now, sorry.

Very green here... but thinking news will matter on thin volume days like this and next week. At this stage of bear market I assume bad news doesn't matter much. Manipulation, other side of coin, is in full play so the manipulation may play on the news, good or bad. I suspect the target will...

covered 867.5

Mostly gamble on my part. Extreme low volume thinking it can't hold up because of investor nerve (lack of).

short 869.5 stop 871.75 targ 867.5 -

Missed the nice ES Tday timed setup (Decent for holiday anyway) as I was looking at DXO. Tried bottom picking at 2.21 for planned 60 to 90 day hold. Set to 50% avg in at 1.97; Stop at 1.79 Hit 2.13 already :eek:

I did exactly what you're doing. Have your current custodian send the money/check to IB directly. You don't want to mess with delays etc... that could cause you serious tax problems regardless of fault of custodian. As others recommended, you should not touch it. Mine was a smooth...

Not saying the Chinese per say. But, there are MANY countries (Latin American, the NEW Russia, most of the mideast, most of Europe, etc...) that would screw over their own economies and people to include decades of hardship if it means bringing down the good ole USofA. Most of today's US...

L 64.75 stop 61.5 not confident out 67.0 EDIT.. Ignore for integrity purposes I didn't edit properly. Thought it time stamped.

Pekelo; Hoping you see this in case you really did ignore him. I enjoy and learn reading you both. Thx. Sorry to the OP for this non ES specific message.

Also, only 1.5 away from Pek's earlier memo. :)

I agree with this 100%. Although, for a few specific 5 to 10 day swing trades in the last 3 months I must admit I purposely violated this rule. Went back to the old add more to the loser waiting for the bear rally. Worked well in most cases and overall, only because research continued to...

Long SSO (approx SPY X 2) at about 1100 hrs... not quite riding all day and certainly NOT the direction you meant or I want. :eek: Doubled position at close to hold till/into THU if needed. Also prepared to add more at ES 770. Prepared to stop out between ES 735 or 740.
