Darn Darn Darn (fixed) Failure to execute a trade just cost me 1k directly and 15k in missed opportunity. wtf

closed my long position last night at a loss...if we get any sort of bad econ news this morning it feels like we could see a big drop today. i would really like to get long near 82. that would be good stuff.

Personally i don't usually hold during it. That seems like more or less gambling to me (and god knows i wouldn't do that ;)

Long a couple at 85.25....May

Decided to take a look at my longer term trading record this evening, given current standings and performance in 2010. My detailed records go back only to 1/1/2008. I am particularly happy to report that I have achieved, over that entire period (2.4 years or so), a form of modest...

Yeah, i didn't mean $145 specifically, but more generally just a continuous, unabated runup to some destination that is as yet unknown.

Why do you think that schiz? If anything the recent fundamental data (not US supplies, but everything else) makes it seem like we are heading to a repeat of 2007.

luckily i went long there with you instead.

CL looking really weak here...threatening to break down. I'm afraid of it. I want to short but thats what it wants me to think.

i already sold...not sure i am capable of just holding. it was a good idea though. maybe i'll be more comfortable getting in at a lower price.

I've decided my new strategy until further notice is to just buy CL on all dips. I'll sell when it gets over extended or nears the trendline on the daily chart. I might nibble on some shorts when it gets overextended...Otherwise, long and more long. I would guess, based on the data im...

Long 85.75 swing trade, look for test or break of the previous high SL at 85.50

Don't use stops.

its a good value in this market....try to pick some up in the PM

Yes....i got a little disillusioned with the later sections, in that his rules seemed so hard and fast (e.g. "if price does this twice, but not thrice, then it is likely a key reversal....") I guess i subscribe to the thought that if its printed and specific, it aint gonna work (generally...

My particular implementation has been getting crushed for the last couple of weeks. I stopped running it temporarily. I know what needs to be changed. It was funny - a couple of times it opened trades that were just obvious to me were going to be losers. Breakouts when the market had...

I was loaded to the gills with FXP, SDS, and SKF. Thank god i closed those when the market was down on Tuesday. I would have taken an absolute beating. Broke even on crude today. Kinda lame after a monster day yesterday. I did not respect the trend today. Was lucky not to take any...

A quick mid-week update as I substantially changed direction since my most recent post (much to my benefit). I went into Tuesday morning short 150%, but I began making boatloads of profit on short intraday futures trades. Mostly in CL but a good bit in ES as well. At one point mid-day...

its getting crazy.

why won't this beast turn up like it does every time im short.
