In my case posted TA showed short BEFORE the actual drop and thus no slippage would occur as well as price never ticked any much above the hypothetical entry. All a matter of timing. :)

Risk management matters.

Thanks. Actually risk per trade is just about 2% with that $2500 per contract figure. :)

Who needs them at all, there's TA at our service. :D

My purpose was just demonstrate that there can be a way to see the same event differently for some traders from how EMG saw it. And a tight stop would work perfectly for them, resulting in a nice profitable trade.

Here we go! Only I trade one per $2500 for my clients and even more aggressively for myself. :) P. S. No I am not an idiot and my draw-downs are relatively moderate. :)

No such thing as riskless money. :) Risk is relative though. Markovitz (volatility) risk is no biggie if you know your stats and are confident about your strategy/tactics. Only what really matters is Graham risk (permanent loss of capital). Of course poor trading can easily turn 1st...

I prefer to call it intra-day swings. :) Small stops and larger targets mostly, trying to catch intra-day trends.

Yea, hard stop defined by stats. Just a few ticks as I day trade.

I use x25 leverage for conservative trades. :)

Right. Posting anything but a really long series of trades is useless. Nobody except people who absolutely don't understand trading cares of single trades. You may have 5 losses in a row... so what. Only what matters is how your method performs in the long run.

I don't get it: atticus trades FX using TA and Surf reports it?

Exactly. If you don't have a pre-defined max loss point, you cannot judge statistical parameters of a trade correctly.

My prayers with both of you and your coming baby!

I always knew that Xspurt = JH = NoD = Al Brooks.... damn I have too many alter-egos... :D

Why not trade with a tight stop loss, but be on the right side instead of the side EMG somehow guessed everyone should be? :D TA pointed the low risk entry just a minute before the crash.

Didn't trade that myself, but TA shows an opportunity to short just before the crash itself. :)

Looks like FX cared less about the fake tweet mini-crash yesterday than stock indexes. Same was during the flash crash of 2010. FX certainly has some advantage.

Twitter! What a crazy world! :D

Believe me there are more applications than I would like to accept. :) By the way, can't you remind me, where did you take $1K figure from? Just the facts please, no rambles. :)
