Swing trade long 81.60 Looking for 83.50

this thread sucks

Brief update on my progress...things have gotten a lot more complicated as I now have a long position that makes up 2/3 of my account value, which for various reasons I can't sell or hedge directly. To make matters worse, it has terrible correlations with the overall market so its almost...

closed at 76.34 for another .56 (+1.06 on the day) see you all next wednesday

and there it is....lol pretty predictable

Hehe....sage advice! Anyway, long here at 75.78. Time to play the rip. Stop at 75.40.

ok, just closed my overnight short at 76.25 for 50 ticks profit...so the "short the pop" pre-report strategy works again... I normally wait until closer to the report to close, but I am worried that dollar weakness, strong overnight data from china, and being near the bottom of the recent...

you always want to do the opposite of whatever the opposite is, as long as you are with the trend and take a contrarian approach

I'm going to put in a cover trigger at 75.75 with a trailing stop on it (since i can't watch this non-stop). There has been a lot of support at 75.50 - 75.75, so while that may give way, I will take whats given to me if we get near there.

I will be placing short orders at .75 and and 77 for the overnight session...i look forward to them getting filled and then closing them at 75.50 prior to the report

yall fittn to get rolled mos likely

just closed it for .14 gain...decided not to hold overnight. I would like to short a pop if there is one in the morning, however.

SH .90 just gonna hold it for a while...try to catch a a couple buck down draft

its really not that complicated...there are a number of things that a discretionary trader can benefit from that a fully automated trader cannot...here are a couple of simple examples: 1) How is the market reacting to certain news events? We all know sometimes the market reacts really...

lol thats good news :)

i will be scaling in short monday morning, barring war.

Its been a while since I posted an update, primarily due to an onslaught of life responsibilities. Anyway, I've had a good several weeks. Sticking firmly to my strategies, i've been pretty consistently profitable with the exception of a more or less flat week a few weeks ago. I have had...

lets not forget, the biggest influx of noobs to trading and the markets occurs when its the easiest. At the end of a big bull run or something. Winnins is easy then -- but all of a sudden our new noob winners find themselves left holding the bag. Thats why most "noobs" do well when they...
