no fill at 63.50, considering possibility of a move back down to 61 now, so cancel order for now

Was looking to buy 61 after it found support but did not get a fill at 61.25, looking to buy 63.50 now, and if that fails, will reevaluate at 61

Hey your internet connection has an 8 hour delay too! So weird!! :)

It's almost like the market opened after the good EU news and got the reports and remembered, "oh yeah, our economy still pretty much sucks" .. :eek:

pending home sales -4.6% quite a bit worse than expected, 2nd worst number in 16 months but market does not sell -- apathetic, selling still to come, or bullish?

For your particular style of trading, this is true. For others, not true at all.

Don't understand :confused: Just to be clear, I think your premise is quite a good one and if buyers look to be giving up around the open, as you say it may be a great short.

Not trying to be snarky, but how can you see this, when we're 15 minutes from open? Don't you mean that's your hypothesis of what you think will happen?

Completely disregarded for journal integrity purposes. Seriously, a post at 11 pm EDT saying you closed it at a price that printed 8 hours previously, when AT THE TIME you were taunting others and saying "drop baby drop"?

Agreed, but price is already telling us the direction: up--you know it can't go vertical forever, but why bet on where with this kind of picture: http://screencast.com/t/gYhTjAbj78 For a short I will have to wait until something is very compelling, haven't seen it yet.

This is so far shaping up to be "click the buy button" kind of market. But with a headline like "Bulls Stampede Wall St", perhaps "sell the news" is appropriate: http://www.marketwatch.com/

The profile on the left in my most recent post is ETH, only I drew it to stop right before it moved up from 20.50 ... normally my 1m chart is RTH profile, my 5m is ETH. Either way I don't know how to change it in TOS, you may have to use an RTH chart if you want an RTH profile.

I know that in my trading one of my problems is that when I enter a trade which goes against me 3 or 4 ticks, I get nervous but am willing to let it work out. If I'm still open after say 15 minutes but it's near my entry still, I get very nervous. Then if it starts to go my way and I'm in...

Thanks P! == I debated whether to post this or not because it's after the fact and I didn't take the trade, but we're all here to learn and perhaps by posting this I'll ingrain into my head more confidence to take this trade in the future. http://screencast.com/t/m7TEMiVJ The left...

out 37.50 rest

out -5 ticks, back in short 41.25, out 1/2 39.25

short 40.25 stop 41.25

We're slam up against yesterday's VAH, but I don't really see any selling, breakout on good volume, looks bullish still IMO.

filled and out -1 tick average on position
