    Rule of 10 Journal

    Looks like it's working fairly well. And I think it's worth saying that as you attempt to "manage the trade", you may well cut off some of those 10 point winners as well. Law of unintended consequences. OldTrader

    I agree that "nothing is ever what it seems"....which keeps me out of the prediction business. I just go with the tape. And I would also say that there is always some nervous shorts, always people picking the bottom, always panicky longs. That said, we break the uptrend line yesterday...

    Looks to me like the trend is down by virtually any measure. What are you looking at here that says it's up? OldTrader

    Rumor: Bright Trader blows up and loses millions

    Don: You've represented your firm admirably, not just in this thread, but in many threads. I'm impressed. If I were a young guy I'd open an account. Best to you OldTrader

    I don't know if it's old news. Today I'm seeing WFC, BAC, and JPM down well over $1 each. I see oil up $3 at one point. PPI in double digits. Euro rallying. Plenty of reasons to be down other than just FNM. The fact that VIX is not moving simply indicates that everyone wants to buy...

    What rally are you referring to? Let me know when you actually sell something. LOL. OldTrader

    Evidently you're looking at an intraday chart to determine oversold....because this market is quite a ways from being oversold on a daily basis. OldTrader

    Microsoft hijacking your computer

    You need to automatically update. Works fine. Then do something about your video card problem. That really shouldn't be difficult to resolve, especially with a new computer. OldTrader

    Why is IB's time 5 seconds behind the official time?

    Are you dumb or dumber??? Geezuz. By the way, it's "bid-ask", not "ask-bid". LOL. OldTrader

    What's 1288? That wouldn't be anything on my chart. Maybe a spot to sell some. Certainly not a breakout. OldTrader

    I wouldn't have used that as an entry if I were playing the system. I would have used 74.75. 10 points under that last little rally. Just my opinion. OldTrader

    IB /Intraday Margin Gone!

    All you had to do was look at the margins given on the website. The link given by the rep in this thread led you to that. I don't assume that all reps are equally well informed about every possible topic that could come up in the course of a day. Do you? So I don't ask. My first step is...

    Rule of 10 Journal

    OK, there a 96.25-86.25. 10 points. Anyone long? If so, I'd love to see the methodology used to exit the position. OldTrader

    Rule of 10 Journal

    Nothing against PA...I'm a proponent. Nothing against trailing a stop either. But let's face it, either of these techniques will cost you some of the 10 point gains too. So whether it actually improves jagmot's method really depends on a discretionary method that as of yet has not been set...
