Not sure....Nasdaq TRIN makes more sense.....I had used NYSE TRIN in the past trading so that was the only reason.

there was a long set-up at 9.27. L 44 S 42 T 52.25. TRIN-NYSE is above 2, so I did not take the trade which seems like a good idea because I would have been stopped out in the next 2 minutes.

Are you saying that this started after 1/20/2009? Do you have a link to the news? Halliburton was doing it when Cheney was the president.

Didn't Reagan sell arms to Iran and when the Shah was over thrown started supplying arms to Saddam Hussein in the Iran-Iraq conflict. What about Halliburton doing business in Iran?

I find it lot easier to get 8-10 points going long. Once we close below 880 in ES, I'll take short trades too but the set-up is a little different.

It seems that I did pretty good the last 3 months because the market was up and I was long. The last 2 days have been terrible so I guess I need to add a filter so that I do not trade on days like yesterday or today. I was looking the TRIN and it was above 2 yesterday and above 1 today. So...

From now on, I'll just post the blotter at the end of the day and people can pull up the chart and see what I did right or wrong. It feels different trading and typing.

There were 2 occurances yesterday. I was b/e and the other one was a loss for 2 points. It wasn't too bad considering it was a rough day for longs..... Let's see what today brings.

Attached is the execution report for today. The two trades that are airbrushed were traded using a different set-up, so I did not include those to calculate the PnL. I have classes on Mondays and Wednesdays so I may not be able to trade and post here at the same time and I usually do not...

L 76.25 S 75 T 85 Edit: TS 75.5 Edit: TS 76.25

Out at 73.25....trailing stop. +.25 which basically covered the commissions. Since this was not a loser I'll try one more time.

Use of trailing stop which is the 4P low on 5 min chart. It's 72.5 currently. Edit: TS 73.25
