Good morning CF, had hoped for some more action this morning, but it seems that's not the case ... had a nice day after FOMC: made nearly as much in the next 40 minutes as in an average day :) my advice for someone trying to learn this: follow what CF and Yoohoo does closely, it's not...

it was pre and post FED meeting

the basic reason to trade is price action, if you want to learn it go over the first 135 pages of this thread, take a program like prorealtime.com and go over 5 min charts and look where CF entered and exited, it's the best way to learn

people are probably waiting for the FED

Morning is in Belgium, I've been up trading from 5 am CET.

Good morning Tom, the direction was clearly up on the 1 H and the 4 H chart, from the moment we cleared 1.5520, like you see it's been going all up. The move down from yesterday, was just a (big) retracement in the upward trend on the 4H. I don't watch CCI personally that much, it's just an...

everybody seems to be still asleep, if you did you didn't miss much it was a slow morning gameplan looks like long both on 1H and 4H so we could see a big move, I'm long from 22, got to exit in 8 minutes however goes got a dayjob to go to.

tom as you saw basically the action was over at that time, we were at the pp from friday at 5515, the last good trade was going long was the kind of double bottom, were I entered at 76 (because I was expecting a bottom there) or a just a bit later the 123 reversal at 82. I personally sold at 99...

maybe about all the people trading them as a directional play are selling options, and market makers taking the other sides are doing a volatility play ...

I kind a like to comparison to sports, and I also believe in gut feel. Problem is I know where this can leed to if you depend too much on gut feel, there better be a substantial base of reasoning behind your trades or you are asking for trouble. I know a friend who made (when he was a floor...

good luck trading next week will, don't know how you do it though, been backtesting things all weekend, slicing and dicing the index in all kinds of ways and with all kind of indicators, kind say I see much consistancy and good ideas to trade this from. Had a great day trading NQ on friday, but...

OP: if you didn't get it from the previous posts: nobody cares about your ramblings if you are not willing to share something decent ... so shut up or post something worthwile ...

really apreciate the effort CF, I hope you get rewarded for this with a great trading week :)

soon Americans are going to emigrate to Mexico :D

thanks, that would be really helpful

Hello, I'm trading FX (eur/usd) at the moment but would be willing to learn another instrument, taking my experience with me.I have been looking at NQ over the past month, but haven't really traded it much but keeping logs. However I would like to expand my trading there, so I would be very much...

CF, what would really be usefull to me is if you would post an overview of your all your trades of a particular day in the evening. Just got to be one day, maybe today ? Like this I could go over them and study them all and improve my own trading by learning to better get in and get out. I'm...

The guy from market wizards did this at a different time: he was a market maker with a big edge because spreads were wide at the time, so he had a big theoretical edge. Doubt very much you could do this today with even close results.

answered you this allready: you just exercise the put you are long or you sell the stock and sell the put. Get yourself a few good books on options, it's obvious you don't get it, that's not a disgrace, but time to do something about that.

yoohoo, I was indeed having a hard time yesterday as I was trying to move to the 1 minute where I had been trading of the 5 min for the last month and a half. Things felt totally different and my frame of reference totally abandoned me. Your desciption of driving a formule1-car without the...
