Not usually, though I have had very large blowups because I was stubborn. My default stop that my ATM enters when a trade is executed is 12 ticks. So usually they're 12 ticks or less. Today the long at 1:43 that BCE took at .89 (i think), I intended to get the order in to long at .95, as a...

Thanks--perhaps the odds do favor a breakdown to my target, but just the reluctance to sell it off earlier despite the strength in the dollar (ammo, I hope you're proud of me :D ) and the weakness in the second push (2:14pm) was enough for me to take it off. Perhaps as I mature as a trader I...

I am out at .67 for +23. Too reluctant to sell this for me to give it back. Odds favor down but my target was .52, so I will not risk 23 to possibly gain 15 more.

I will short .90 and look for .85 and then .80 to break with conviction,

I hate giving up on this but I'm out at .18 on the rebound back up, was hoping for more than 17 on this and it looks more bullish than bearish, but when I closed the volume picture looked a bit bleak for a big huge move up, so I'm out.

I am long .01, was a little too slow to get in at .95 .. blast it

Yes but even with all that pressure, oil has held stable. And DX looks a bit exhausted to the upside from that picture (and of course euro to down side), perhaps time for a move up on oil now...?

Ever since 12:55, we have had a divergence between price (falling) and delta (rising). They seem hesitant to sell this off. Will be interesting to see what happens.

Heck if I know but I remember people talking about oil reaching $150 this summer, back during the big runup to $115. Of course, as soon as they said that, it dropped like a brick.

Nice job. I shorted .86 for a loser earlier (-10 I think), then shorted .12 and covered .95 -- I agree with you, I absolutely hate this movement. I shouldn't, because it's just neutral information and I have no reason to attach negative emotion to it, but the reality is that I do. People...

EDIT change in plans, took it off at .81 lower channel line, was hoping for a bigger break down which may still come of course. And .50 may be just a bit ambitious, .72 would be a better second target.

short 98.00 ;-) Looking for 97.50

Nice job! I had a couple of bad trades earlier and just made up for them, I longed .61 (just after you longed), and out at .85, and re-entered long just now at .05 and out at .28, and finally I'm back to breakeven after some hair brained trades earlier.

I really dislike trying to trade this slow, crawling down stuff, even if it is directionally clear. I'm much better trading a range than breakdown, buy back, breakdown, buy back, etc. I know the direction is down, but timing the trade becomes quite hard for me, as I'm typically a breakout...

The ladies are always giving us problems bro.... :D

Last week's high is 100.19, volume absorption and shift to buy volume at 12:47, buy a break of that 1m bar. EDIT: The buying was not super strong at .20 which I expected it to be. If the stop would be much higher, I would not take this trade. I see no compelling reason to short, hence I'm...

out .22

I am long .22 stop .15

Only speaking for myself, NO!! There are good trades and bad trades I do not post, and I am up today but not NEARLY as much as I should be. I have good days, and crappy days. You want to see really good days, NoDoji is your girl :-) I'm trying to learn from all these other guys and girls how...

In fact, the bulk of the gobbling took place from 9:30 to 9:45, while it was still falling at the bottom. Only after did the weaker hands jump on and help push it back up.
