i find that I only actually trade (click buttons) about 4 minutes a day. I spend the other 8 hours looking at the daily, weekly, and monthly NDX chart. If you guys get bored looking at 3 minute charts, what i'm doing makes watching paint dry exciting. So i find ways to spend those 8...

the difference is that some people just say it, and other people put in orders, and the hedge part is by using a stop. I'm short from 1154 to 1157, if it breaks last weeks highs on NDX i'll stop out, otherwise i'm looking for sub 1000 on this here short.

I'm going to revive the journal but it's going to be alot more exciting. I'm opening an IB account and going to take that double your money every month challenge that was posted on a website i saw. I'll keep the account updated live via a screen cam, and post commentary on my journal...

i'm short from 1154 and i'm just going to hold till we take out lows again. what would Mr. Market do to fake everyone out? put in a fake bottom and get everyone buying. Theres lots of money to be made at the extremes cause thats usually where all the volume is.

the top for today is in @ 1154.5, we are takin oout the lows next. Market aint bottomed yet imo. edit: only if we take out weekly high will i go completely bullish.

I agree. Market is way oversold, i'm long (but i don't yet have a full position). I'm torn between last fridays low as the bottom and this coming week 19-20 as the bottom. The only reason for this is because of the terrorist attacks last year... the weekly chart is all messed up so my fib...

19th or 20th is my target, 20th is the actual day I have, but due to terrorist attacks last september, it could happen 1 day earlier. I expect that the NAZ will be under 1000 on those days, and I will be majorly long because the trend is about to change to UP. The key to the markets is in...

lol, i knew that would spark a bit of debate. by the way, whats a real trader? I thought anyone who trades is a trader. If you mean good trader, then they obviously aren't too good anymore if they lose as soon as the market stops trending. Maybe you are talking about nasdaq stock...

I don't think we'll bottom in september, i think it will be this month.

has anyone else noticed how ugly a intraday stock chart is compared to an emini ES or NQ chart? Seems like they are way more manipulated, and less fluid. I can't stand trading something that looks so ugly. Thats why i trade futures :D

i'm a little offended that you didn't consider the category i'm in. SUPERTRADER :D making huge profits consistently with no dip, just bigger and bigger gains. :D

have u ever heard of Waxie? You have to rule the freakin markets and make kachingos otherwise no one will listen to you. Cmon get with the program. And u also need to make more than 21 measly points. U need to make over 1% for bragging rights. Haha, i remember a guy got cut down for...

not going anywhere, just not posting my trades anymore.

I find that the discussions between daytraders are really very limited. People are totally close minded. If I said that it's possible to know the exact daily highs and lows the day before it happened, all would laugh. If I said it's possible to predict the gaps, most would laugh. If I said...

Most of the losing traders haven't got balls. They don't got what it takes to stand in front of the freight train of the mind. I only need balls and brains. I take a stand cause I got balls. If I'm wrong, I reevaluate using my brain, and I stand up again if I still got balls. Gap...

this is a journal... so i post my thoughts here, and sometimes people comment and we get a dialog going. why should I play the gaps? cause as i refine my system, I right more and more, and wrong less and less. Why risk the world for a 10% gap in the futures? Because it just works. It's...

covering my NQ02u short @ 1127 @ 1116 + 11. i'm gonna hold those puts tho thru 1100.

I just do both... seems to even things out.

the XAU is the gold and silver index? If it is the chart looks really nice as far as my setups go... so I may start playing as well. How do you play it? is there a futures contract? or just options.... are they liquid?

took profit on NQ02m @ 1122 + 9 short NQ02u @ 1127.5
