Opportunity for personal growth here, for all involved. First, I don't get the Livermore references. Interesting life for sure, but a cautionary tale rather than a model to emulate for speculators... I can relate to where you're coming from as the ET member "NoDoji" brought out the absolute...

I decided to scrub the post as a) within a few minutes of posting, the market told me it was unlikely to hit that price by the close b) I've realised that making calls here isn't going to stimulate the type of discussions I was interested in c) therefore I don't see the value in doing so, and...

And that is the answer we must give ourselves when we ponder why we are not as successful as we would be without this flaw. While penury is likely not in your future, it must become eventually suffocating to live with the consequences of this self imposed issue knowing that the solution was...

Shame, that hasn't been my experience. 8 points off the low in the last half hour yesterday, called to the tick, set it up for them 20 mins in advance, said where to close shorts, a few dozen views of the image and 1 comment saying that perhaps market profile explained the move. 1 question about...

Yes there were. Concerning the state of supply at that point in the market and how certain categories of participant would predictably trade next. I'll give some pointers on this. First, it would be helpful to know what has happened in the past in a similar condition. I would suggest creating...

Make note, we correct and range for a few weeks at most and then go to new highs on the year. We don't see 1450 in this time. (see, an opposite prediction, we'll know later in the year which was accurate, but how does that help anyone make profit or improve their market knowledge meanwhile?)...

If you do not know any of the possible answers to those questions, you are either not a trader, have not been trading long enough, or are unusually different to the rest of the human race in several significant ways. So are you an alien, a novice, or a spectator? I ask myself why I'm not yet...

How was I able to know (from high probability POV) that we would have a move to new lows yesterday, call a good price for shorts to cover, and correctly anticipate the 8 point rally from the low into the close yesterday? Would this be of interest to anyone learning to read the market, or is...

Would this make sense at this part of the cycle? Will 1685.75 be taken out? I would think so later, but what needs to happen first? Is upside sustainable before this happens? How long does the market typically take to do its business? I would be very surprised if we didn't correct / range for at...

Low at 46.50, 54.50 traded at the close. Filled. :) Nearly anything possible in the market, but that wasn't high probability for today. Hope you didn't give back a chunk of your gains... Just curious for anyone on the thread to weigh in...what was reason for the rally, or alternatively...

Nice prices for shorts to cover here 1649 at 15:27. Wonder if we'll get one of those 8 point rallies off a low into the close, like the good old days...

Final breach to new lows, and then a rally into the close is on which longs can take advantage of.

You are most assuredly not alone. This isn't a democracy, and it is sad to see worthwhile discussion derailed by the proud and arrogant who mistakenly believe that all contributions are equal and there is some sort of entitlement to inflict their intellectual and personal limitations on others...

Numpties shorting the market and being squeezed.

Good advice, thanks. And here is a brief summary of what I have learned recently about memberships and costs. To trade futures, one must have an account with a clearing firm and a way to execute. You will need to pay for the execution platform, can be around a few hundred dollars a...

Pressure? Why, from where? Nothing to do with a successful trading method, this is a personal problem, fix it. All the time? Well you need to quantify how much time you need to make your decision, and then set your parameters appropriately. It might be that some of the smaller or faster moves...

Thanks, yes I did. I'll come back to the thread over the weekend to add what we discussed - I'm tired at the moment and don't want to botch it. Certainly hope I did not cause any offense. I ought to address this point. While some things can be attributed to cultural differences (are the...
