what was your reason for shorting here ?

Hi will, saw a guy using 30 sec charts for HS somewhere on ET, they looked quite clear comparted to higher timeframes, maybe an idea ...

so your still using 5 min from time to time :D long from 66, now trying to manage this thing, put stop in at 78

Good morning CF, just got one question: when you are trading on one minute charts and the trade is going your way, do you use close trailing stops and get out as soon as the 1 min starts to reverse (to reenter as soon as trend continues), or do you give the trade some reasonable breathing room...

btw start getting some decent option books, it's obvious you need to read up on the subject. McMillan might be a good place to start. Later on you might read Natenberg.

you exercise your long put, or, more likely, sell the long put and sell the long stock, you will still lose money, but you'll survive for another round

covered at 00

and good morning ... :) 1H looks down to me, 4H more neutral

short at 04

what if the stock gaps down 50% ? You won't be able to cover at all.

wow, you definitely seem to have tightened your stops since you are trading 1 min.

regarding chart programs: in the smaller timeframes I prefer quotetracker over ninjatrader, drawing trendlines seems easier and they use midprice where NT uses bid, quotetracker however doesn't have anything like buy and sell presure. Probably going to use combination of quotetracker for short...
