    I will let v explain it, or perhaps you could search it under his posts. The rule of 1000 which I would say is not mine, is that the psychology of the market makes the ym and cash dow levels at each 1000 level strong support which then can turn into resistance. I am proposing a new...

    He doesn't believe in taking partial profits. He is either in or out. I don't prescribe to this method but it works for him and seems to work for him very well. Everyone don't forget that b2s1 also has an nq position that is well over 100 pts and larger than his es position. If he had...

    I had heard of the rule of 100 (although I don't subscribe to it) before I found ET and say before the Dow was higher than 10k. Now it seems more like the rule of 1000. Market bounced off of the 14k (YM) level quite well both yesterday and in after hours. Market made another bounce today in...

    I was reading somewhere that there was worth in it in the 90s but now all the computer/program trading has made it worthless.

    How is this a mixed market? Are you referring to NQ? To me this is a strong down day and only shorts should be taken...currently flat however. market tried to retest overnight highs and failed.

    Don't use the DOM bid/ask at all in my analysis. I've seen way too many 'fake' bids and asks. Most of the time those big orders get pulled before anything is ever executed, hence fake imo.

    Another slow but steady day scalping on the long side. Got out a bit early on my longs but I can't complain with another profitable day. Flat overnight. Need to take care of some stuff this afternoon so calling it quits a bit earlier today. (what are the chances of the numbers...

    Nice day P&L wise was able to get out of my short at close to the lows in the morning. Didn't ride any of the move back up as I am still looking for a washout of all the weak longs before we move to 1600. Caught a few shorts on the way back down for the second time and some scalps. No...

    Yea Islands is on ignore list but everyone should know that by now :) Funny how my market comment about longs still standing (of course as a joke) was almost the low for the day. Anyways, my market update...still looking (patiently) for a successful retest of 1510-1515 before I can turn...

    Should I post an islands type comment? Any longs out there still standing? sorry in advance as it is quite tempting I actually thought we were going to break the 1545 resistance (hence why I didn't make the short trade at 1542 last night as I had been doing the last week or so) I...
