Thanks for feedback. Maybe its my connection, need to get it checked.

stopped , entered again 1 tick lower than stopped point Edit: Covered this one at 14.25 So a loss of 1 tick on this contract. Still keeping the original short from 1413 on. Experiencing problems in getting ES data from IB today - sometimes feed is freezing, only feed from CME. FX OK.

short 1413, target 3 pt, stop 3 pt Adding 1414.25

why bother whether TA works or not. If you can make money with it consistently, let the naysayers go to garbage-can and you make money merrily and plan on buying your next BMW.

nice trade

long 1409, brother LF - seems a good point to buy to participate in the uptrend....could be wrong though - fiscal cliff thing and associated comments can move markets bigtime

wow there was no news at this hour. i guessw must have been a fat finger

short 1403.5.

Yes, i guess you nailed it.

haha. I think it is fair advice. Pls don't feel bad, I just need to improve on this aspect - "once I have a good entry for possibly a 10-20 point swing trade, I should go for the big moves and shouldn't try to play the fluctuations." I had a similar mistake 3 weeks ago also - need to learn the...

Sorry, i was a bit disappointed to post. I was up 1000$ in profit on the long trade, closed the trade at 1395 (before my target of 1397) and then went short from 1395.5, ended up just 500$ in profit. Edit: Classic case of good planning but poor execution.

Tell us what products you trade - establish your credibility. Explain how you get paid 180k base after 1st year when I clearly laid down the ladder for analyst/associate/vp. Right now, you have lost credibility, the whole forum thinks you are trolling. Prove otherwise, and you will get...

nice short from 1401.25 ! Yes can't complain just that the market is acting pretty weird. If it acts weird and moves 10-15 points, its ok. It starts to become dangerous if it suddenly starts moving 25-35 points (like it did last August). If you are on the wrong side of the trade and are not...
