    Oct Natural gas being sold bigtime

    I'd wait until the trend was clear ... even if that means a little missed opportunity -- there needs to be a catalyst. every EIA report that continues saying what it is will be just a little more reason to sell...

    Getting PAST the mania...

    Your analogy is great. I'll admit being new to the markets and having great times (and poor) in quite a few, I am still attempting to define my niche. But additionally, I do have a hard time -staying out of the action-. I often feel like I'm missing out on something if I stay out (which...

    Getting PAST the mania...

    I don't think I was clear. I am equating lot sizes on future contracts with my avg position. Thats why I said lots. 4 QG = 60k, 1000 shares of 60 $ stock = 60k, 2 QM = 60k, 20 options of 60k stock = 120k (or if movement is small since delta is small, esp on OTM options) 20 options = 60k. So...

    Getting PAST the mania...

    also I think perhaps my problem with so many options and stock trades failing is that I tend to fall in love with in attitude and marry a position to a company, which blinds me to the reacting to the technicals of the market. I have a hard time selling options as well, because the rational part...

    Getting PAST the mania...

    4 ways: 1) in all fairness, some of those great days are from highly leveraged long options positions. so obviously it scales up more buying power than 1-4 lots (maybe 5-10 at most, but this is unusual). 2) much of these #s are from swing trades, so big moves are captured. 3) often i...

    Getting PAST the mania...

    I'm a newer trader (really 6 months at it), and would like to share something probably common that I'm struggling with, but am determined to beat: I have a tendency after days of really great gains from deliberate and disciplined trading (ie in the 2k-10k profit range) to lose it quickly on...

    Oil: I call short term bottom right here

    what was that rally today? short covering and closing of positions for the week? who's bold enough to leave a short over the weekend? upside is 63.50 area, and downside is already 62.00 tested earlier today.

    Don't you think anticipation of the fed rate pause will keep prices levitated?

    this is my same methodology -- my problem is I jump in too quick usually. my discipline needs to seriously develop.

    Oct Natural gas being sold bigtime

    5.60 is a little ambitious with 10 or so trading days left in the month, with oil already at 62.50 and no good news in sight. My target is 5.10-5.25. I'd be more focused on those rear months falling down. :)
