I have not found your charts too big for the normal forum width. I'm on a 1920x1200 monitor FWIW.

You mostly shorted today right? If so, then you traded WITH the strength which was demonstrated from the open today, particularly from 11am on. Only around 2:00 did the tide really turn towards longs, that's when you missed your short call when the longs were in control.

Nice job being long when it counted, and flipping to short when you needed to LF. Happy weekend to you and everyone else.

Do as you like but I'd be very concerned if 60.50 doesn't hold.. slowed to a crawl, and sellers may take it down if that breaks.

I would only caution that there's still a half hour left, and they may try to cause some pain for the longs. Lots of sellers absorbing this buying.

Must be careful here at yday's high 60.50.. a break north of that with conviction could mean a nice move up; a failure could mean a nice selloff if there's time.

cancel order, could not quite make it down to get me.

Any particular reason?

I'm mildly concerned that it could not at least reach 53.50, but perhaps it just needs another go at it. Unless this pops up here, I will look to buy 47.75

Nuts yes, damn good trader, yes.

First half off at 50.25 and second off at 50.75, do not want to hold a retrace to BE

Just shorted 53.25, stop 53.00 now, too volatile to play target 50.25 and then 40s

I use the daily settlement price (closer to the 16:15 time)--the daily settlement is the vwap between 16:14:30 and 16:15:00, and today it is 1158. This differs per contract--for example on crude oil it is the vwap from 14:28:00 and 14:30:00.

You don't get it--you don't buy into weakness if you're a trend trader. Fading current strength is suicide, that's why you and others got burned. You buy with the strength on a pullback. This is an opening drive down, sellers look aggressive. Up until just now if anything I'd want to be...

Later, have a great day everyone!

It's very interesting how our tendency is to try to say when enough is enough. I have been burned SO many times doing this that it makes me sick to think of it. Any attempt to say "it can't go any more", even if you get it right, is a losing proposition. Probability will always work against...

Yes, and those who longed during that year probably made nice profits, while those who shorted against the dominant trend lost because they kept trying to look for weakness. Traders I mean, not investors who buy and hold. When the market actually started moving down, those who shorted then...

Why grr? Why don't you just join them and long? You keep looking for shorts, and you're missing all the good stuff in between. Each new top indicates strength, and you keep looking for weakness. Even when it does fall, you will have missed all the easy (by comparison) stuff. EDIT: there...

Not even a retest of the flag after it broke out... (EDIT: not yet anyway!)

Just broke out of nice flag formation. Would consider it a failure if we trade below 50, but as of now bulls still look strong.
