good analysis. I wish I learned politics and economics. as a trader, I feel negative for the forward week too. first next week we do not have much economic data roll out, maybe the retail sale friday. or if euro zone or china may have something polices or economic data? or IRAN/northern Korea...

you mean "hunch". I think that needs intensive screen time. most time when I put a "what the hell" trade, I have no thoughts, just an urge to put on a trade and the trade turns out to be in my favor. sometimes, I am just amazed how I turn my wheel to drive my car, when I see a curving road, my...

first I am a day trader. even half hour ago data to me is non-sense. I do not want the data in my EMA from previous day ( it is a session away's data, meaningless or useless at ll). I do not trade USO, I just trade crude/ES/NQ/NG most time. because of this problem, I need click pre-market in...

casino runners toke out millions of people's small bets, then toke out a little bit to award just few people with big price, at the same time, they pocketed huge bets from those 99.9999% losers. bear in mind: the winers' huge award is not from the casino runners, it is from those millions of...

obviously no one cares last sessions' closing & x number bar backwards, we traders care more about forward minutes. actually it can be easily fixed. applies the opening price to last session's closing & x number bar backwards (all the same price, put last sessions' price with zero weight), from...

here is what I am talking about. USO EMA from Yahoo and from IB. did you notice almost half hr to one hour EMA in IB from the opening is totally distorted, you can not use it for trading?

I have problem with IB moving averaging. the problem is IB used former day'closing to caculate my moving averaging, so in the opening, if a gap up, the moving averaging is way down, or if gap down, the moving averaging is way up in the sky. or simply, if I use 30minutes to caculate my moving...

schizo's "what the hell", basically before he put on a bet, he does not know whether he will win or lose, he just be brave enough to throw the dice and have the "let's see" attitude. so schizo is not casino. Nodoji's "power off/internet down after a bet is on", her fear kicked in, why fear...

if the results are not in your control or in another word, can not be predicted: win/lose, then it is a gambling. casino built on statistical edge, but we all know it is a gambling business. the casino in the market is the exchange and brokers, not NOdoji, trader198, or schizo, cstfx,Ek_kids...

ya, I played it this afternoon, when I turned on my computer, I saw ES was being traded at 1068ish and it was under my EMA,when I just try to think, it quickly dropped to 1067under, my feeling is "what the hell,what are you waiting for, you idiot, it is dropping, sell now!", three lot fired at...

just regret not trading after morning gain on crude. what a nice trend! schizo must win a fortune! doing some little scalping, did a sucker's play, gained 3points. it is too risky here, get to wait for next monday.

i did not leave, just too attractive to short, very quick gain. there is no sense to buy. just hit the button and laugh to the bank

just back to desk, gee, looks DOW will crash 1000points again. those day's up/down may be just consolidation or sucker's rally, another push down is there, chance s are almost 70%~80%, very possible, I will watch 9800level, if that hits, I get to flush ES/CL with full power. next monday morning...

today I was playing bitching trading. shorted it at 74.87, no stop, just target, and no screen watch. when I was back to my desk, I was out at 73.13. done for the day. sometimes need bitch trading, sometimes need "what the hell" trade, I am playing cstfx's blackbox number game!

looks we are looking at the same stuff, we get the same feeling. I traded wensday's session (first dip to 72.4ish, then relentlessly went up until closing even beyond, that made me think it will shoot higher), so I jumped in at 73.26 after it bounced off 72.32 (my revenge short failed, told me...

my story here, after the report, saw the number I like. jumped in at 73.33, out at 73.97 with decent gain. then thought 73.5 is a good pullback buy, get trashed. then saw a cross in my chart, bought it again at 73.3, gee, when I was in, it suddenly dropped, trashed again. then shorted it at...

screwed up today, the choppy thing chewed me into piece. glad, grasp the final move, and put me in green.

I like "flip without blinking", the market is too fast, no way to think! I think that may be your edge.

I do not think it is a trust issue. we all know trading is an odd's game or in ugly word, gambling. I normally trade with EMA cross ( a cross generates a signal), but as many know, sometimes when a crossing occurs, just a trap, that happens when I short a bottom or long a top. some people may...

bitched exactly right. from bottom to top. gained nicely, could not post real time trade because trading needs focus and it is time sensitive.
