Nope I didn't take a position. So you are saying 1464 hod on monday enter in long of 1454 today? Basically I'm looking for a decent signal to exit my trend following trades and was interested in perhaps incorporating the rule of 10 in. So still researching before I would do any...

Very true, I would have sold half, but in this particular trade I only had 1 contract on, so ya couldn't sell half.

Call, Please don't take offense to my question. I wasn't asking just you in particular, just using your quote since you were the last person I saw comment on it. I'm also being somewhat contrarian (I guess) as lately on this board I've been seeing more and more people call out rule of...

Agree 100%. I made one trade today (only trade of the day because I was traveling) and it was near session lows at 1443 (long). Even though my system still had a buy signal, I sold at 1446. With a paper trade, I probably would have let it ride and would have made much more in 'paper profits'

I agree with the analysis for the most part, but my question is how do you know that 1454 is LOD and make a trade until after the fact (and then consequently 1450 being LOD)? My answer, you can't. By the time you realize either is LOD and then use that as the new anchor point for rule of 10...

I'm trying to understand the rule of 10 as well, it seems interesting but I'm not sure this rule can be used before the fact, it seems to me that it can only be used after the fact and say wow this move was approx 10 points. Could you explain to me how you traded friday's or monday's action...

+187.5 -5 comm (1rt) net 182.5 recovering from the fun weekend...slept in made 1 trade before i headed back home and missed the screen print

Another solid day...only 1 really small mistake, cost me only 1 tick. I have to shut down early and get to the airport for a wedding this weekend (I would love to keep trading). Caught the trend down and did some scalping. Tried to catch a reversal early around 1460 (ES), stopped out and then...

Saxon, really sorry this has happened to you. I would document everything and talk to them about how they are going to keep you as a customer. Whether it is a refund/pmt of some sort or free commish for a certain amount of time, etc (as I'm not sure how much you lost so free commish could take...

Don't usually countertrend trade too much, but going to dip my toe in here small size at 1460 (buy), bouncing off the lows of the day. Jag Edit: Don't really see anything in the mkt internals...mostly going with gut and I also see resistanance zone starting at 1458 (futures)

Just noticed I didn't attach...on my way out

Another solid day profitability wise, with no trading mistakes today...so very happy. Shutting down a bit early, have to head out. Most of the trades were small scalps. +625 - 75 comm (15RT) +550 net

I'm long here as well

Most of the market internals are positive, not sure why you would get short here on a trending system. I would classify this trade as more of a counter trend / reversal. Although shorting at 1481 at that time frame was a good r/r play (I didn't take it but I was also not in front of the...

Hopefully you have already seen...but just in case Weber's comments, ECB may not raise rates after all (annoucement 7:45AM EST) and Bank of England action (also announcement 7:00AM EST). Here are links to both on Marketwatch...

I would look at this as a good day for you. Your system gave you two signals and you followed your trading plan. You didn't overtrade or pull your trailing stops. As long as your system is sound, money will take care of itself over time. I had a great day money wise, which would normally...

Today I had a great day money wise. I am happy overall, but did make a few mistakes that cost me money (that is obviously what I'm not happy with) You can see my posts in ES Journal. 962.50 -105 comm +857.50 net Wow I'm glad I don't mess up this bad when I'm trading...trying to post...

Hope springs eternal.

Vertigo - Thx for the wealth of information. I've never missed a news headline before (to my recollection). I thought using two links were enough but now I have a lot more free links thanks to you and tomahawk. I'm on the west coast so I do miss some of the morning chatter before the markets...

Disappointing that it cost me but oh well. I've bookmarked it and I ll use that too along with econoday and marketwatch. Thx Tomahawk Edit (My mistake it was on Econoday and I missed it) At least it wasn't a misclick or anything that cost me, those can be much worse.
