Our styles and time-frames might be different here. I go for intraday swings with >30 ticks profit potential. 90% of the time, I don't add to a losing position. The only exception is sometimes I'd add while I'm entering in a new position. Lets say I entered short at 50 then it moved to 55 with...

Good job on your overnight position. I again ended up sleeping very late this morning. My sleep schedule is screwed up this week. In a way it was good for me since the US session was kind of choppy for me. One advice to you regarding profit taking for position trades. Once you take your...

I've been at home for straight 48 hours. I'm about to explode. Tonight, I'll go to the gym and relax& swim. I might put in a trade after 2am EST depending on the action.

Good luck! These are the worst hours to trade. Usually very thin, slow and range-bound markets. It depletes the precious psychological resources!

You guys had a nice chat going on here. I collapsed couple of hours after the US open and slept an extra 5 hours:) I don't use fundamentals in my trading too. I have similar approach regarding biases--It effects my trading too. What do you mean by your system is out of rhythm?

I got stopped out @ 1.2693 before going to bed.

I'm not sure yet. I'll stay around another 45-60mins and see the action. I have a 10 pts stop. I'm split 50/50 :)

Switched sides. Long from 1.2702 after the pullback :)

Nice job Gringinho. I've got decent profits from my shorts tonite too. I'll hang around little bit more. I don't agree with you about news/reports etc... I don't think it makes a big difference for scalping but beyond that (except long term investing) news/reports/predictions put unnecessary...

I got stopped out at 1.2679 after this last spike.

It got quite slippery. I moved my stop to b/e and I'll wait.

They've been real time before the required registration-- at least for 3-4 months.

You longs had your spike. Now I want mine :)

No actually these are real-time.

It beats me bonds, crude, SP haven't changed much!

I use bracket trader to enter my trades. I have 200 pips profit target by default--I usually get stopped out anyway by trailing. I just pulled the profit target to 1.2090, 600 pips just in case of an extreme madness :)

That's OK :) I remember the other day you didn't use stops for a non-scalp trade....This thing can go both ways you never know.

Are you putting stops in?

You're doing some late happy hour there too:) I'm glad that you reminded me about IB shutdown. It's going down in about 10 minutes. I have my stop at 1.2710 in anyway. I'll just leave it.
