Gotta leave early today as I've got some errands to run before I head to work. Decent day today. I'm long some SPY calls to take advantage of this move, and with any luck, the afternoon rally :)

I thought the market had to go down in the morning ? You call that short move down and back up a move down ?

buying 500 stocks is gonna cost a lot in commission, while one ES contract will cost you $4-$5 round trip. Look into ES. there's plenty of info via google. http://www.tradingconceptsinc.com/eminitrading/what_are_emini_futures.shtml

January's loss is still kicking my ass, psychologically and its affecting my trading decisions. My strategy is still kicking ass, but I'm finding myself making poor executions, and poor decisions exiting trades. Hence todays pathetic day. Gonna stay at 1 contract through Feb 18th...

This thread is pretty dead today. Anyone short here ?

why ? Just b/c there's a gap there doesn't mean its gonna get filled.

Been having some problems with my trading as of late. So I'm moving from 2 contracts back to 1 until I can get things under control w/ my ES trading. Lack of discipline has been the major problem along w/ cockiness from success the last few months. Nov. and Dec were my best months I've had...

do u have any sort of a strategy or are u just discretionarily buying and selling :/ . Doesn't seem to be working out all that well. No offense. Just an observation. If you shorted at 1320, u'd have a 1 point risk, and 3 point reward. Now you have a 2 point risk and 2 point reward. On...

Made a quick long at the 1313 support. Might go back and take a nap, as I expect today to be a tight ranging consolidation day. But I'm wrong often :) edit: bullish engulfing candle on the 15 min. I might stick around, this might turn into a good day

out -1 tick.

Long @1314.75, stop @1311.75

I think we go up. All you people shorting are forgetting that you buy dips ! DOnt short rallies !

Retracement ? Whats that. Also, based upon the volume pattern on the 15 min bars, we might be in a little short squeeze here above 1314 and the pivot. Just an observation

Low volume off the open. 20ema still holding on most charts. Looks as though there will be some good moves to catch today.

Some people might be comfortable trading a certain size. Larger size might pyschologically mess up their trading. Besides. $100-$200k is more money than I'd need to live on.

$4k per month on top of my regular job.

thanks for the charts. Never noticed this pattern before, and I could have done much better the past 2 days if I'd known about it. Appreciate it !

really really really great piece of advice for the ES. Been at this for 3 yrs now, and there really is a roadmap you need to follow to trade certain days well.

I bought SPY puts again at the close. 2nd day in a row. I'm expecting a pullback. Ill probably go broke trying to find one, but god damn it i will get it lol

who knows is right. What a boring trading day :/
