nice i put on a short before bed also after i saw it shoot up on no volume.... got out around 78. kinda feel like shorting again, but might look for a price above 78.50

My trade closed last night at my PT while sleeping...1102 That was an easy one.

depends if you can code if not, im not familiar with any that do if so, you could try amibroker...which is pretty good. NinjaTrader is less flexible for that purpose but if the "portfolio" is small, you can make it work.

Thats what i am figuring on...especially given that we are now overbought and facing serious resistance at 1110.

Still, if it only works on a single equity, i would be suspect. Doesn't mean it will work going forward.

how much did you optimize it?

Makes sense. I am probably shorting too early. Would be par for the course. Still, I've got the right SL. R/R probably not optimal. Feel pretty confident about this one though...i am taking profit at 1103 and 1101 (probably before i wake up...)

Short at 1107 Stop at 1114 Will blow my mind if we reach new highs....just watched the ES streak up 5 points on about 5k contracts....crazy

WHat in the world is driving the ES to where it currently is? Threatening to test recent highs...

I wouldn't be short going into a weekend. Lot of folks buying oil contracts like lottery tickets hoping for a weekend disruptive event. Not to mention Monday's have been bullish for the last few months, further reducing the risk.

But - i do like to 'buy low'. And NG is very low, all things considered. Look what happened when it touched this price in December.

I went long NG last night...I went in at 4.80...more or less. Im planning to hold until 5.25. I really don't like NG though. Bad macro trends to be long.

I have tried low win rate systems. Doesn't work for me in practice. I need a decent win rate otherwise i start to develop confidence issues. Mind you, i'm just saying i like to have 50% - 65%. I can't stomach anything much lower. Not saying im not a nooob, but i've explored...

It sounds like your stops are too tight. I was having that problem before. What i do is pick my stop for technical reasons (previous resistance, etc), then i add some 'cushion' on top (because if i see the stop, 'they' see it). That helped my win rate a lot. But, now all of a sudden...

More public shaming... After having supreme conviction in a short crude play last night, i sold 4 lots short. I watched crude rise for no reason for hours, until i incurred nearly 1.5% in losses. I went to bed, firm in my conviction. I woke up to find my trade now in the...

depends on data this morning.

:) no kiddin! By the way, out at 79.50. Will try to get short again closer to 80 - 80.30.

have you seen that the entire country is paralyzed by strikes and riots? S&P now threatening to downgrade them two notches because of the strikes.

Greece is going to go belly up by morning.

holding my 4 lots short and hoping for terrible econ data in the morning. if something doesnt change the momentum they are gonna force this over 81.
