I am in @22 let see if this thing will go to 27 anytime soon. I feel like am been hypnotized before the kill. Why is it sooo sloooow?

What a move from 27 to 22 in 20 minutes. I got to get some of this. Trying to buy it at 22 for profit at 27. No luck so far.

There were few opportunities to make 2 points. :)

An angry Canadian is terrifying. Please be nice to them!

Banks hedge mortgages with the 10 year note. If rates are high investors prefer to sell stocks and buy treasures. If rates are low AND the risk is low, investors sell treasures and buy riskier investments like stock and kiwi....

Well said David! So you buy high and you sell low. :)

Yes I can't trade like this. I wish I can sell at 956 in news and gap up day and have 15 point move in my direction in 1 hour 15 min. I am very shitty trader if you compare me to that. Good luck all. This is working marvelously. Keep doing it.

This thread has nothing to do with teaching you how to trade. I doubt I can teach you how to trade even if you are siting next to me. You are looking in the wrong direction. I hope you never use real money on this. :eek: :eek: :eek:

What is this thread about? I thought it was about trading. May be not. You can't trade low and high volatility the same way. It does not matter what your excuse for doing so might be. It shows gambling instincts. Red flag.

The volatility is off the roof. Why are you trading with the same R parameter? The move form 956 to 951 is much more random than on a low volatility day. The same for your stops. The move now from 951 against your position 956 will also be more random and you can get stopped by the noise. CD...

I agree with the above. Also I think that having the accurate context understanding helps. After many many hours of screen time, I am starting to develop a better understanding of that is going on. This helps me filter the opportunities. This also explains why not all auto-traders are...

Thanks! It does.

My trading style has morphed to the simplest of things. I determine that a trend has ended and that a new one is in place. Wait for the 1st substantial dip and I jump in. Small stop and target at least back to the top or more. It works well but it is so simple even a monkey can do it. I am...

Who controls the control? It is your account. The P&L will come to your account. You will have to deal with the P&L no matter how it was generated. By a bot or a hired trader or.....? Let's say out of the blue for no reason you start getting checks in the mail for $200 per day. After 3 months...

This works to learn the mechanics of trading. You also need to learn to control your emotions. You need to pay the piper. You need to put stress on your psyche and learn to control it. You need to lose real money. The more the better. The trick is to loose big but not too big so you can't...

Everyone makes mistakes. Especially in the beginning. You have to assume that you will make a mistake where you will loose 6,8 or even 10 times your R. You will be dead at the level you want to play the game. You leave no space for errors.

Looks like the Commercials are missing. How is you short doing?

I am not sure if this was covered or not. I read few pages not all. If your broker requires $500 per contract. They will give you margin call when your account drops under $500 per contract. And the broker will liquidate your position shortly after that. You will need at least $600 if you...
