    CL Redux

    Afternoon everyone! I hope everyone had a good trading day today. I did well on the CL, but had my first losing day on the ES in a while :( I got chopped pretty good in the a.m. before the bounce, and shut my live platform down just before that long really gained some steam. Ah well, on to...

    Engineer looking to make a career change into trading

    You are misunderstanding my point. If you watch volume, and where large size is being traded, you can count on those large positions either being defended or liquidated based on price movement.

    Engineer looking to make a career change into trading

    First off, TONS of engineers in here! I can't say I'm surprised (I am as well). Secondly, +1000 to the above advice. I have 4 friends that all tried to trade for a living, while I kept my day job and pecked away. 2 years later I am still here and they have all blown out and moved on...

    CL Redux

    Hi everyone! Well I'm not going to toot my horn just yet, but I had another rocking day on this thing today. I know the super volatility is helping in a big way, but I felt in control of myself for the most part during the trading day. AM: 1. Straight ahead setup, but I got tagged for...

    CL Redux

    There was a stretch of time also where CL was trading directly inverse to the indexes. I guess it just matters what group and what news item is moving it?

    CL Redux

    Would anybody here be able to PM me a contact at Mirus or another brokerage that would hook me up with a demo code for Ninja? I think the one guy I've hit up a few times over the years is sick of me. :)

    CL Redux

    Well I didn't even catch the whole caboodle today, but wowzers! AM: 1. Volume came in, we tested below and then came back up and above where volume had come in. I saw the inverted H&S and just set a limit order at 5.30's 2. I played this like a double bottom and it worked out. 3...

    CL Redux

    Friggen SWEET! Of course my Ninja demo expired this morning, so I can't show you guys the plots. I actually ignored the countertrend trade for once and waited for the continuation.

    CL Redux

    Greetings Everyone, Well today was a lot of picking up table scraps after the real move was underway. I missed the smash me in the face short in the morning, and again found myself one step behind on the trend. The good news is that with volume leading the way, most of my trades were in the...

    CL Redux

    Perfect! I was fiddling with Chart Trader (I'm not too good at it yet), and got tagged below 30's on a stop order. I was trying to set a limit for .30's and botched it. Still an ok trade :)

    NoDoji, would you kindly step away from your desk for a moment?

    CL Redux

    Hmmm, ES completed a full bullish sequence and the CL didn't budge.... Today looks like a good day to be taking some screenshots for later.

    Nice. I'm thinking of we can clear this congestion, first stop would be around 30's. We'll see!

    CL Redux

    I'm short 9.03's, so I'm hoping I can actually catch a mover. Let's see what the market gives me. I feel like we'are at support now that we are back above.... nevermind. Yeah once we were back above 8.80's, I should have a ignored shorts... Ah well, not too much damage.

    CL Redux

    Thanks :) One thing this has really helped me see is that I see the CL properly for the most part. In other words, when I'm getting stopped out it's almost always because the market is not going the way I thought. Another thing is that every trade I make goes into the green at some...

    CL Redux

    Wow, what a roller coaster ride this thing is! I'm on the edge of my seat, and I had a massive lump in my.....throat the whole time! AM: 1. I hesitated for a split second and missed the opening long. I bought what I thought was a valid continuation trade, but it petered out at the DT...

    Agreed. I definitely got faked out and was poised with my finger on the buy button when that little bearish TL broke. By about 10:30 though, there was a clear winner.
