In the years I've been trading, I've been on the wrong side of MANY trades. but in low volume markest with potential quick moves, I get out quick w/profits, just a little grumble on my part. BUT... I am very greatful for making a living trading OIL, stocks and currencty. Something no one I know...

I currently use e-signal. Does anyone have a suggestion or thoughts on their extra features like advance-get or what not? I am interested in getting info on the buy / sell volume that they sometimes show on CNBC to see in reall time a broad look at the major indices.

MAN, i keep gettin out of my good trades too quickly, never go broke takin' profits, but when i see an extra 8 ticks left on the table... argh...

DEC haas more volume than march. when does Dec expire?

wow, very low volume today.

Hate it when i dont take my own suggestions :( I was busy watching the CL close and look over and ES is up in the 80's! Any thoughts on an entry short or long from here? I feel a bit late to short or long without confermation. I don't use any sufisticated technicals, buy or sell signals anyone?

looks like rounded bottome forming on a 5 & 15, maybe breakout into the 80's

does a short from this spike up to 80 look prudent?

does a short from this spike up to 80 look prudent?

Did someone suggest to fade the open? I missed it but man... 10pts off in the 1st 15 min.

Good call spectre.

I know exactly what he did, traded too many contracts at a time. get your trades right with small contracts and work your way up. Too much in ur account gives overconfidence, ESPECIALLY when you just deposit it and don't build it up because of winning trades. [1st hand experience :( ]

Well, I decided to cut my contract amount by 60% because of volatility, but moves like that are pretty self evident. I watched it hang around 1500 for a moment or too and caught it at 150025 before it went up up and away, I could have held on for another 9 pts but no one ever went boke takin'...

Wow, that breaking news at 9:02 would be 2 minutes too late. Good to have CNBC on. And when ur price ladder flies off ur screen w/out seeing what's going on, no pending news.... follow the trend. :)

we bounced off 17, i love those moves, make'n 8 pts in 1 minute. just wish I'd had more contracts. But I thank God i was watching I almost turned my PC off because I have a massive headache. Do we keep going up from hear to the 20's?

Am i reading my chart right!? next resistance is 25 on my daily? does it take jobs #'s tomorrow to get us there? or maybe creap towards it overnight.?

Apex, U trade 6E? often? I just shorted from 20's to 99. It looks like next support is in the 70's but I haven't traded the Euro in over a year. I know the $ has been beaten for a year or something.

on days with such big rallies, do you see moments in the last hour or so of longs taking profits showing quick drops like you do in oil [CL]?

no, just looking for another good point to re-inter and because of the quick bounce, i'm inclined to think we will pull back a little.

Good advice
