    Good to see I am not the only one who could use the bathroom during the trading day. Good trade. I was able to at least post my trade before it hit my first target and 6 days before exiting close to my second target. 6 days before exiting would be a very long bathroom break...

    Good one again. I was able to hold the previous short to about 1255 and got out. You said you were long at 1258 and you held on and now we are in the 60's. So far 2 for 2 for you. if your losses are much smaller than your winners you have a workable model so far. Congrats and Kudos

    Vol it appears that your the only person who is so defensive about my postings. You also bring up issues that has already been covered. I remember that post I came on to say that I set a sell stop and give the level but I ended up having to reply to your 4 to 5 post rant with my name...

    It was 22 mins based on his post but it was a swing trade so even if it was shortly delayed being posted here (I only look at the charts every few hours throughout the day) it took another 40+ mins to hit my first target and 6 days to get an exit trigger. Even if someone got into the trade 30...

    The Surf Report--part 2

    I hear ya market surfer bottom line is taking profits eventually. Whether you do it early (IN PROFIT) or hold on a little longer (FOR MORE PROFIT) profit is profit letting winners run closing only half of position for profit. Lowering stop below break even to guarantee you lock in profit on...
