ET died for about 5 minutes here guys. I closed it at 56 for +1.00 on 1 unit, after it failed to make a higher high when it tagged 57.

stop to 55 (BE), target 58-59ish

Probably ... But this was a pretty steady drive all the way into 2pm, and the day you're thinking of was, I think, pretty well done by 11am or so, but I could be wrong. As an aside, I use BackBlaze for online backup, does it automatically every night, I don't have to worry about losing...

sim long 55.00 (edit: 1 unit only)

predictable stop hit, -1.25

stop to 54.50 .. will be interesting to see if even a poor entry price can make for a good trade on a strong day.

SIM long 55.75, 1 unit only

Just curious what type of signal you might have here T? At some point we gotta pull back, but I'm curious as to what might signal a short here.

Exactly. Using an actual data set and running a statistical analysis on it would produce a useful number. For example, over the last 20 days, the median RTH range is 10.25, as of today (as a side note, while the current market has had relatively well distributed ranges and thus the mean may be...

I would hope that people would not register different names and post under them all, and particularly if they are interacting with each other. The whole premise is a fraudulent one, and amounts to lying and lacking integrity. That being said, Anek as far as I know did not profess to be a...

nice job trvl -- I expected that 35 area to hold overnight and was hoping for your sake that it would :) What happened earlier is a great example of how I was shaken out of a trade by 1 tick at my original entry price, then tried to get clever and shorted, thereby negating my profit on the...

No--anything related to volume has nothing to do with orders; volume is a done deal, no hiding possible (at least volume reported by the exchange, this ignores any dark pools and all that stuff). One reason for the variation can be described in this scenario: a transaction occurs at 51.75...

Interesting chart here--look at the difference in the delta volume when measured on uptick/downtick versus bid/ask. In terms of actual buying/selling pressure, uptick/downtick more clearly aligns with the behavior of price, this time. Blue line is the 0 line.

An example of an analysis, and then failure to follow the rule implied in that analysis: 44 held, as did 44.25 afterward, so no reason to short this until 43.00 broken. Lesson learned, I hope. (EDIT: a short at 46 or so has merit and is reasonable, I think, but the location I entered at...

should have closed this immediately, terrible trade. -1.75 per unit

SIM short 44.25 stop 46.00 Bad entry price.

Interesting day, as the market wants to stay in this range (35-55), and has been bullish for the most part, but the selling pressure has been pretty sustained and has not gone away for an easy path up. A failure to punch higher here, and a subsequent move below 43 would indicate a strong...

out final 1/3 at 44.50 for +0.25 Totals +2.00, +2.00, +0.25 Profit per unit: +1.41

closed 2nd unit 46.25 (+2.00) stop to 44.50 on remaining 1/3 Probably closing this 2nd one too early...
