Looks like I should exit my last contract short. How about all those traders who retired after all their shorts came in!

Haha nice reference BB, thanks. I'm debating what I want to do with that last contract...don't see a great area for stop movement down and current r:r is 1:1. I will probably flatten near the close today. On a side note, was just in the front yard last half hour pulling some weeds...and...

Another one bites the dust. 2 full stop outs in a row. Done for the day/week.

Long 24.25 Stop 21.25 Targets 29.25, 34.25

Filled. I expect a stop out and a gap fill but I'm trading the system and not using my discretion to not take this trade. Edit: wow strong selling in the 32 area. Edit2: full stop out.

3rd contract covered at 1221.25 (I pulled target lower right before jobs report as I managed to be up). Stop at 1252 on final contract, going for the last target.

Canceled all orders. Going to sleep and am planning to be up for the employment numbers, but we will see.

just noticed I missed the long by a tick :( now the short is at 1236.

I was planning on taking a long from after hours high but was away from the computer. That setup would have been stopped out. I got saved at least this time by being away. Have a long setup now at 1225.75 and short at 1238.25

There is extreme sentiment, but that doesn't mean we don't head lower. Just calling it how I see it. In the meantime, I still think it could happen.

And one of the reasons we can't automate.

On th U8 contract 7/15/2008.

This may well be the bottom for today here in the low 40s. I see a possible close at 55-60. This is just a call and not a trade. Seeing double bottoms on rsi at both 15-30m and 60m trying to with this next bar.

Possibly but I was trying to count the whole move from the 8:00AM 5min bar vs. the 8:20AM 5min bar.

:) Thanks, also to OT and Vertigo as well who posted. Nice when it works.

Long filled 1245.25 Stop 1242.25 Target 1 1251.25 Target 2 1256.25 Full stop out, 2nd in a row. Wait til 1 hour after close to start trading again.

I got a long at 45.25 waiting and then a short that i ve been dragging down currently at 57.75

Moving stop to 1282. We are now starting to hit some oversold levels. I'm going to watch how the next 30 and 60m bars form and probably take the next target (move up target from 1247). Edit: Covered 2nd contract at 1253.75. 2 contracts short remain.
