    Sleepless Nights

    I hate it when i forget to role over to the new month. No wonder liquidity was so weird today. all my numbers today were on the old contract. hmmmm, i guess i better switch over now.

    Sleepless Nights

    i think i finally understand whats going on... I'm short @ 1131, and will average up to 1136 if necessary. it's a swing trade. edit: i plan on holding till we hit 1100.5 (minimum) edit2: the price should actually rise to near 1136, so i'll short heavier up there. the only reason i'm...

    Sleepless Nights

    If i make a good trade, I decrease my exposure on the next trades. I do this every time, until I am trading nothing, when i am trading nothing, i'm done for the day. With bad trades, I only allow myself 2 in a row and then I'm done for the day... no increase or decrease in exposure after the...

    Sleepless Nights

    loooks like I was wrong about the inside day on the NDX, it's possible now that it turns into an outside day... however, I'll stay short and shorted a bit more @ 1125, with a stop @ 1127. Average price is 1123. All of this is with decreased exposure compared to my gap play. The reason I...

    You are only stating the obvious and i've already addressed this possibility and exactly how i handle it riskwise, and tradewise. And i've ruled it out as a reason to stop me from taking these profitable trades. Fact is, I plan for it even tho its never happened to me. If I can use 10k to...

    Short @ 1121 statistics and luck dude. I don't stroll with the "random walk" crowd, or even the "organized chaos" that others are into. I follow the truly purist route of complete orderliness and predictive nature of the markets. You don't like it, thats ok with me.

    While sitting here eating some Old Fashioned Quaker Oats, I just decided that is what I would become (no not a trader of oats): I'm going to look into using the telephone more since it is alot more reliable than computer. Will just draw my charts by hand. Sounds old fashioned, but it isn't...

    Sleepless Nights

    The daily bar on NDX should be an inside bar, that doesn't give any room for taking out the highs, so I'm going to short every rally. edit: it also looks like an h&s on the 15 minute chart.

    Windows XP SUX! Windows was on the right track with 3.1 but it had a few bugs, instead of fixing them, they buried the bugs in more features with windows 95. win95 came with it's own sets of bugs but it worked and i managed to work around everything. Windows 98/ME introduced alot of fixes...

    once again i'm getting confirmations that we are still going lower. Target is 978 on the NDX for a bottom and longer term bounce (ie a few months of rallying). I'm going to buy a few puts here, just to hold til then since i'm not doing much else today.

    Sleepless Nights

    I always play technicals, even heading into fundamental data. I beleive that the technicals are based on past fundamentals, and therefore fit to use in forecasting future moves even with fundamental news feeding the market.

    Sleepless Nights

    I think I mentioned this earlier, I will sometimes buy or sell in overnight trading if I can get a better fill than I did at the close. However, unless I post it here, I don't add it to my exit in profit or loss. but it doesn't mean I don't do it and it really adds to the profitability...

    Sleepless Nights

    or close enough, I sold my calls for a marginal loss... sold my buy on NQ from 1115 @ 1122 + 7 on a partial position. I'm all out, and the gap play is finished as I don't really have any other information to work from. note: the closure isn't always perfect.... sometimes it's a .5 off so...

    Performance

    I see you quickly came up with an emotional response to what I posted, but you haven't justified how making 1%, or 10% (if you sold at the tippy top every time) is even worthy of your post here? I just cant understand how you can be so happy with 1% in a day? sure compounded that would be...
