    weird market again today, though not as weird as yesterday. Seems due to this fiscal cliff, we will have such strange quick moves for next few days.

    I did a scalp for 2 points but I am still holding long 1 contract and will buy 1 more at 1392.5. Why you think we will fall back from here? I think we made a pretty intense bottom, we are going back to 1402-1404 at least. My thinking could be wrong - yesterday market was very weird - so yes...

    Yes, longer term in the sense of 1-2 day. Thats long term for me :) Every trader has to identify his shortcomings. My shortcoming is I find it hard to hold a position for more than 2 days. Even holding a position for 1 day sometimes proves hard for me. So, although my aim is to hold the...

    Tradrer who wants to go solo

    OP - Yes, and once you mention the specific area, we can grill you further to know if you are lying or not. There are lots of posers on this forum and you have have lost credibility by saying you making 180k base after 1 year. However, if our suspicion is wrong and somehow your story is...

    I was a bit surprised looking at the reversal today morning. We have a 88-94 gap down below, which I expected to get filled sometime this week itself. Maybe we will close in the red and tomorrow and day after we will fill that gap below.

    The hard road to consistency

    I have a daily limit on number of times I can change direction in a day with consecutive losses. The limit is 4. So, I can be long, get stopped, short get stopped, long again get stopped and thats all. If this happens, I don' trade that instrument for few hours or for full day. Because it...

    The hard road to consistency

    it was evident from your constantly long/short changing yesterday that you are not trading well. I have found best to stop for few hours if 3-4 consecutive losses happen by changing directions. Such days historically used to cause me big losses - I learnt from them and now I don't have losses...
