of course you are right

Still may be wrong but I like the position much better. BTW got stopped out on the last one.

I took a bad entry based on my indicators and now I am holding on by my fingernails.

I don't move to BE as soon as I'm in profit. I dont move unless I see it move up and settle into a bottom above my position

When I am in a few pts. I like to trail to Zero. But, it does come back an tag me out a bit. That is also why I am not good at letting them run. If I have 4-5pts I get happy and just leave the position and then it goes another 5pts in my direction. Oh well...

Quote from klinckphilip: I like being in a trade and that influences bad decisions, especially on a non-tradeable day. If I was to follow the strategy I would raise my winning percentage up much higher. If you are intra-day trading you need to shoot for trades that should go for...

I have an intra-day strategy that allows for only a few entries. However; my brain tries to make trades that the strategy does not follow. When I lose it is usually because I am not following the strategy. I like being in a trade and that influences bad decisions, especially on a...

http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=3251520#post3251520 Did you see my proof. I have one from yesterday where I lost 2.5pts. I didnt go dig that one up though. It really is all about making money. So if you made money good deal. If you made 6 good trades in a row and...

http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=3251520#post3251520 I only called the second one. Which was only 4.25pts. The long was earlier and I wasn't on the board yet. So if you only want to count that one then all I got was 4.25 Sorry second one was 4.25pts so 11pts and 1 tick

12pts and 1 tick

Good job. How many points for you today?

Just looks rangey and scalpy. No real direction. I'm signing off. Good luck everyone

Either way good job. I have trouble holding my trades to the end. So you made double by holding it until the target or close to the target.

I am just saying you are trading against the market so moves to the upside are taking a while and moves to the downside are smooth and easy to ride. But, it is possible. You are out playing my opinion right now so go for it.

I hope you got out at 93. 2.25 is nothing to balk at. Take your profits and run. Good job. Dont let the market take it back.

This is what I see. Not enough strength to get to the pivot because of a bounce off of the 50sma hourly down to the S2. Now resting on the 20sma 50sma 15min, and 10sma hourly waiting for the 100sma 15min to catch up for a move lower. However; there has been a significant move down so far so...

that is a bad position. I would not short here unless I already had the position from earlier but this is not a good place to go long.

Missed the bottom of that ..... out at 1293.50

Missed a call yesterday for a 2.5pt loss. Made it back today so far on a long earlier. But, I am now in a short that is not developing Stop - pulled down to 1297.75 Short - 1297.75 Target - 1292.50 Maybe. But it seems to be going sideways which looks like it could go up again.

Short 1308.75 Stop 1311.25 Target 2-4 pts pull-back from our run up from 1295 early this morning.
