    I'm just wondering, why do you find the 1380 sell zone so obvious? I don't see anything obvious about it from layman analysis (a good thing) other than the longer-term downslopeing trendline. I'm not calling you a layman at all, I'm just saying obvious should be a DT or something else of the...

    Its a damn shame SSO doesn't trade at 3AM when I would have gotten an entry. Nice to see the zone worked like a champ though... 1315, right in the heart of it. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=1863546 Now for the gorgeous sell-zone just overhead... some early...

    Just a little "set-in-and-forget-it" swing trade for tomorrow using SSO. Long in blue zone, stop below red. I'm not over convinced it'll work but its a decent setup... plus low leverage...

    we're home free with a break of 29.50 IMO I'm not liking the bearish div on the 1 though, unless theres a powerful push up voiding the div I'll be looking to exit ~26-27

    Trying to catch the bottom of this bullflag here... looking to possibly go long soon. I don't like how its a Friday afternoon though... not exactly the most likely time for a trend reversal. :edit: Long 28, stop 25.75... this trade may take another try a break above 31 and things will...

    Nice, I also considered the first 2 items you listed. I still have no idea what R1 and S1 etc. mean though... on the list of things to study... also check the internal retracements of the move up off the ~1255 and ~1287 lows, the measured moves from the 2 waves down since Tuesday and the...

    Nice man, I think you got a real winner here... IDK how many contracts your trading but I'd hold onto one for at least 1360 retest... ~1375 if you've got the bronze :D

    I love how the 1332 AH low wasn't enough... they wanted to take it back during RTH right into the heart of the zone so that it appears on SPX and RTH-only chart traders screens (at least this is how I perceive it... level tested in RTH is more seriously considered)... expecting a breakout of...

    Its more of an "IF = THEN" logic for me... and just a suspicion based on how impulsing this bullish action over the past week has been that it'll want to make another run up. Spooz - thanks alot! Alot of different things are starting to come together. I'm not sure if you remember when I...

    If tonights LOD remains 1332 which seems likely things are lining up very nicely for sick sell zone at 1377-1381. JSS, wouldn't a third drive up to ~1380 put in a nice triple divergence on all the larger timeframe charts? I know triples are much rarer on the larger timeframe charts, but...

    If you love trading, you will lose money

    e-mini Nintendo Rocks! :D Seriously, I avoid looking at the PnL on every trade. At this point in my life I don't touch the money in the trading account, so if I make money or lose money, my lifestyle doesn't change. This is a way of segregating trading and real life. I can't think of a...

    Its nice to see when others analysis line up with mine while using a completely different methodology. I see this bull flag running out of steam in the zone of 1328.50 - 1331 most likely, but possibly 1320-1322 before making a last run up to 1372-1380. When we hit that zone I'm looking to...

    Definitely possible we topped out yesterday and today at ~1360 and are set to retrace back to ~1325 easy. However, this has been a strongly impulsing move over the past week and as long as we dont break 1340, it sure looks probable we make another stab upwards before the intermediate term top...
