What disappointed me the most about this trade is that I VIOLATED one of my rules. This is why I'm in this sh*t situation in the first place. It's the call of the countertrend. When I countertrend in the past I lost big. But lately, I go with the trend most of the time. Now things are more...

That's a good point. Ironically, I work better in the AH because it's slower than RTH. My main beef with NQ in RTH is that it's too fast for me at times. But I'm getting more used to its speed than before. But it still feels fast. Too many bots running around...

You just proved my point. So, why are you so against me playing just 1 lots on NQ in afterhour session when there's almost NO CHANCE of a limit up/down situation? :)

Didn't he get fired today? I wished they didn't do that. But he's so talented he will get another job in no time.

Don't be like that. Your encouragements and videos are what get me through the day. I know the overnight HE situation is perilous. But what's wrong with trading NQ if there is a little bit of a movement overnight. You think there will be a limit up/down situation in NQ in the after hours...

Haven't you been pounding the table for me to trade MGCs? I just traded MGCs and made some. To be honest, all chart patterns are the same regardless of instruments. The reason why I lose in new instruments is because I did not execute my proven edge/setup. Not because of the underlying...

What are you saying? I AM TRADING MGCs.

Tonight made some money trading MGC and NQs. Night session to make some money to buffer tomorrow's lean hog(oct) futures. what may come. Ironically, I actually like the night session. It's much slower. I get filled at better prices too. I need to try to do the early morning session. Some of the...

Then I have a case against IB? hehe. I kept hitting the ask. I was willing to pay the spread but they still didn't let me out... Even if I bought at the limit up price my losses would still have been minimal(a few hundred bucks). Yet they didn't let me out. Now I face an unknown amount of risk...

Yeah. I should have focused on NG today. I should work hard on steadily scale up my daily profits in NG so I can eventually reach $4k-$5K/day. Then I'll be set and gradually add other instruments into play.

Yep. It was a stupid mistake. I'm a pure TA/PA trader. I should actually pay attention to the news. In the past, I always considered news as noise. It's still noisy. Hopefully, with the wider band tomorrow, it will be tradable and I just bite the bullet and get out. Might go long. I calculate...

I misspoke. There's plenty of liquidity at the retail level. What I was caught surprised was the limit up. I should have researched more. I jumped in trading like it was NQ and any other futures contract.

Just because someone panicked in a new instruments doesn't mean they are not smart. They are just inexperienced in that. I have pretty solid education credentials. Don't need to flaunt it here. But I realized higher educational credentials don't always translate to better trading. Look at LTCM...

So with a wider band, I can get out at whatever price I can get... Take the hit. =========================================== "CME October lean hog futures settled up the daily 3-cent limit at 66.525 cents per pound. Daily limits for Wednesday will expand to 4.5 cents per pound, the CME Group...

I have a BS and Masters for top tier schools. I only started trading and scalping it. Never thought about limit up moves. I'm used to NQ having lots of liquidity and ease of moving in and out. I guess since I'm new to HE I should have not been as aggressive. Or get more informed.

I was NOT planning to hold overnight. It was supposed to be a few minutes scalp. I didn't know it would halt like that. I actually had 7 contracts on over 2 different accounts. I covered completely in 1 account. So I'm flat. In another account, I still have open 4 lots. For me, I've traded 5...

Why do you say that? IB kept rejecting my buy to cover orders and the trading desk said they can't get me out. They said there's nothing they can do.

I hope it goes down decent amount at the open so I can cover at a profit. hehe. https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/the-road-to-consistency.335578/page-2

i was long all morning and made $. Then later on I scalped short and made money. Then the last short I made it went limit up! I panicked. That's why I posted this thread. Then I tried to hedge and ended up losing on the hedge. :( Had I just stayed calm and put in a limit order slightly below I...
