    Even though the 15min is peaking out the 1hour is still long. I dont trade the night for a few reasons but still I would be worried about a short in right here. But, 70 is probably better. Getting that much movement out of this overnight is improbable. You could get a down move tomorrow to your...

    I dont think I have thought my strategy out that far. I have been using a tight stop because I am not firm with the strategy yet. I have seen it work and I have see it stop out 5-7pt stops. But, on those I learned that I just needed to adjust my entries. I was only using 1 time-frame and I...

    I believe we put in our bottom for that very very large move. But, tomorrow could be up and Friday we could get bad news and then it could plummet. We will see. If there was no news on Friday I would be really looking for signals to go Long for the next 5 trading days.

    I see. I thought you were asking my margin per contract. Like $300/contract $500/contract $2000/contract. No I keep around 10k in the account. If I get up to 13k I withdraw the rest or I will get tempted to go bigger and bigger with the size of positions based on how much I "like" them. At...

    No, mostly 1 lot. But, I will go 10 if I feel it is a good solid move. I never scale in or out. I either catch the move or I dont. $500/contract

    Yeah, all I have to do is listen to my strategy and follow it. My problem is I try to push it too early and get out too early. I am going to continue to post to make sure I am held accountable and try to follow the strategy a little more closely. Stops seem to be a problem of mine. I...

    Agreed. If you stop and examine it again like it was your first trade you may see something you did not see before. Look at the longer time-frames and they will usually tell you where you messed up. I just did that I found that my original position was good I just made a mistake on the...

    Got stopped out with a move 1 tick below my stop. That stop was a little too tight. But I got back in and it seems to be running the correct direction now. Gonna keep the stop low until there is a real upside.

    Because the 15min and 1 hour are pointing up for the first time in days. The only one not in agreement is the daily. Tomorrow could be an up day Friday would be but the news will most likely dictate that one.

    I have a long signal on the 15min and hourly now. Was only on the 15min. So once it sets back up...maybe at 44 it would be good for a long.

    Did not post these. I was trying to watch the news and make my trades but here you go. I tightened up my stop on my first trade and it came back and hit it. I got back in and made that trade work for me. It hit my limit at s2 and has kept going. I guess I could have pulled my stop up and...

    There is nothing on the day chart that says long...but short term there are always entries but it should be treated as a short term trade

    I think a couple days off or the week off would be good so you don't blow up your account Not trying to be mean. Sometimes a break helps after 6 straight days of gripping the sides of your chair as it flows against you. It is still in a nice down trend. On monday I thought that wednesday...

    I am really not sure how you are profitable. How do you plan on losing 14,100? I just cant imagine why you would leave that much liability open. 08-02-11 06:03 PM Quote from iloveoptions: BE now at 1266.70 for 6 positions. Targeting 1266.5 for tomorrow to exit 2/3rds...
