Btw, i was also went short at the same time as eddie, (he went in at 335 , i managed 340), the difference was that i had a 50 tick stop. The market retraced, took eddie out and then reversed agin. I covered at 300.

NoDoji, i also like what Bigsnack has written (great post, Bigsnack!). However, my question then is, if you are waiting for a good entry point, what happens if the breakout never gives you a better entry point e.g. some big momentum move in whichyou're either in it or you're not?. Surely you...

Take time off.

haha, cheers, so many bells and whistles...:D

Thanks for this, I guess I have to wait till tomorrow for this morning's data? I tried using IB's Time and Sales by right clicking the bar and selecting Time and sales, but it gives Friday's numbers. Any further help appreciated.

But my friend, my last name IS Rothschild-Rockefeller ( i married a Rockefeller). I married a Warburg (but she's dead), then married and divorced a Morgan. So all bases covered. Does that mean I own all the gold?

I read Macmillan when I was an option MM. I hear now that the book Dynamic hedging: managing vanilla and exotic options by Nassim Taleb is the one to read. I read a bit on google, (just do a search) and it seems really fascinating! I'm going to buy it.
