Yes, it might be a slow creepy death for shorts later on today! Indeed, ES sucks compared to the EuroFX. But I'm glad I'm not trading crude oil intraday, I would have been raped left and right :) Edit: This is it I'm not trading anymore today. +32 ticks net, another 21 ticks for...

Before doing too much size, make sure that you have your mental balance is in shape for your position trades. A while ago I tried both scalping (my scalping is more like 8-10 ticks) and intraday position trading at the same time. For instance, I would scalp during the range trading and then...

Oh I see. Well this week was easy if you had a long bias--most of your reports were favoring the long side. I had a neutral bias and ended up trading short side too. At least for me, I had better discipline this week in terms of leverage and patience. Edit: I'm trying to get in at 1.2921. I...

You mean in general, not only today?

Have you stopped trading for today? I managed to squeeze in two long trades. I'd better stop. I'll take a 20-30 minute break and re-evaluate the situation. Looks like misery might set in from here as you suggested... I should entertain myself with some "picture" browsing now :)

I'm up to net +26 ticks including commissions--commissions took another 20 ticks! Disaster! It was a relatively easy day earlier with clear directional moves but managed to get chopped again. I completely forgot about my system today! One thing I did good today is that I didn't go crazy with the...

You had a nice week. You deserved to relax and celebrate--Time to open couple of magnums of Champagne to chill out there :)

I'm not trailing as usual. I realized that shorting is not the preferred direction so I'm grabbing 5-6 ticks now :) Edit: I just took my 5 pips. I thought about holding my long around 1.28 but then I decided to trade in and out. On the bright side I could have been short from that level...

Got out at 30, thanks to my stop!!!! Edit shorted again at 42....

The ask in teh book got heavy with 500+ at a single level! I'll trail this for a bit. Your return on demo is incredible! What kind of leverage are you suing?

I'm about -8 with the comissions. Too many trades. Anyway I put in a short around 40s. As you said it might go down 15-20 ticks...

This is amazing. I'm doing some quick shorts but managed to get all my profits get eaten by comissions!!!

Holly Cow! I'm glad that I had stops in!

After the initial madness now we're stuck in a 5-tick range!

People are quiet today. I hope nobody got massacred!

This thing is holding up. Perhaps we'll pop and flop:confused: I'll reshort around 1.2908 one more time.... Edit: half of my profits went to commissions today!

I have a feeling that we'll retest 1.29 and then sink down...

What a day! I've been in and out bunch of trades. 30+ ticks pulled it back up from -30. I can't believe that it went over 1.29! Edit: I was up trading after the Europen open (11 pk local time) and slept only for two hours. It wasn't worth it for 12 ticks!! Bonds sank and didn't recover...

I have confusing signals here. Locally the upside volume is low. But then these are the usual thin times. There's still a chance of 1.29 later on but probably there'll be some pullbacks too.

I know exactly what you mean. But this is for your scalping trades right? Here's is a trading style difference which might confuse new traders :)
