Ok, I'm closing the other half of my short ES at 1352.50. A little over 18 points on that half. OldTrader

Evidently you missed my point. It's not my journal. So if you choose to make paper trades, and B1S2 wants that in his journal, then I'm not going to question it. For now, I got you down as a paper trader. Let me know when you make a real trade. LOL. OldTrader

I agree that the point of this board is to interact with "other traders". Of course, I don't personally view a guy that paper trades as a "trader". Now, before that remark upsets you, I'm not calling you a paper-trader. But I would definitely feel differently about posting here if I felt...

Thanks. And believe me, not taking any heat is not normal for me. LOL! No one was more suprised about that than me. Although that area above 1370 looks to be pretty substantial resistance for now. OldTrader

OK, I closed out half my position at 1358.75 for about 12 points. Holding the other half for now. OldTrader

I think you're way off base with this post in terms of the trades jagmot has posted, and particularly off-base in calling him a "smart ass". I could have easily made the long trades he made. There is a problem though with posting some of these scalps. And once in a while it's pretty...

I thought that 1370 was going to be a little tight, and right around the resistance. OldTrader

XOM is up 1.88. Other oils are strong as well. APA up 6 for instance. OldTrader

I sold some ES at 1371.00. Stop at 1383.00. OldTrader

I don't know, but it ain't bullish. OldTrader

My guess would be that if there's going to be anything on the upside today, it comes after the oil market closes at 1:30 CST. OldTrader

That was a very nice trade. OldTrader EDIT: By the way, what type of setting do you use on your RSI? I notice on my software they have it set with 7.

Here's what I don't get: You don't know the rationale behind the trade because you haven't read the journal. Yet based on some unknown factor you have decided the trade has no "statistical edge"? Not sure I'm following the logic. OldTrader

Exactly. Well said. OldTrader

You got a trade you want to post here? OldTrader

I use the BlackBerry 8830 World Edition via Verizon. The use I envisioned for it was a possible trade if power went out locally and I couldn't access TWS via either of my existing internet connections. I have accessed Mobile Trader. Using the secure code is a little tricky....but I'm done...

I've subscribed to Barron's for years. These days I only get the online version of it and the WSJ. Barrons has always had columns where either they or people they interview make recommendations. It is a stock newspaper...right? They review their own recommendations, and as I recall they do...

Hey thanks! Not often a guy gets a hand in this business. LOL! Anyway, one of these days I need to learn how to hold my position a little longer. I left alot on the table. OldTrader

Maybe it just caught everyone short after a $10 drop in a bull market. OldTrader

If memory serves, he was originally buying airline bonds, not stocks. OldTrader
