I'm happy using IQ Feed. Never had any issues, even in this environment.

Your comments have lost their luster. It's not even funny anymore. I had to dig this one up from the archive. A low pullback in an up trend was allegedly the coming of a bear market, yet the worst drop in recent history is a little sideshow.

The market traded lower than the Izzy Bottom in after hours. Not a good sign. If we don't see any tremendously good news over the weekend - I can pretty much guarantee that the Izzy Bottom won't hold next week. :)

If all is well in America like you keep saying - there is absolutely no reason to ban short selling. You're contradicting yourself. :)

It speaks volumes about the current market environment when a 49 point up move is actually just a retrace. Wow. Let's see if we can do 2260 by the Close. Looking at higher time frames really helps here.

Risky to initiate anything at this point. I'd let the big boys fight this one out.

We have one good hour left of this session. Currently an inside day. Lately, the week low has been made on a Friday. In a normal market, this would seem crazy, but in this environment and at this rate, it seems quite likely. I'll be paying attention at 2300, but it's quite possible we don't...

Strong short term reversal signal there at the low on lower time frames. Higher TFs still in down trend. Trying hard to put in a bottom for sure. Just not so sure it's going to hold.

Nice and clean down trend if one zooms out a bit. Rangewise - we're below recent averages. 2300 looks just about right by the Close today. Maybe more.

So far, this is 'yesterday'.

Anticipating a lot of chop and fast reversals in both directions today. Well, it's already happening.

Yes. I'm not suggesting you do this on all your trades, but I'm sure you could improve performance if you once in a while instead of exiting on your standard 10 ticks on a limit instead locked in 10 ticks on a trailing stop and trailed that aggressively on a momentum move. They do happen once in...

I think we're headed lower. I don't normally do overnight plays, but I was short 2363. Trailed myself out of the trade with a stop at 2360. Didn't feel comfortable holding it with a wide stop. It seems like I may have been stopped out on the high retrace. But that's my best bet for the...

Thanks, @sstheo. I will check out that link, too. The reason I asked was because I had the impression that you used fairly large stops relative to your trades and seem to take a bit of heat on them. But as long as you can maintain a high winrate, you should be fine. A few big losses can quickly...

I'm from Norway, so you probably wouldn't be able to read it... :) Basically, there's one guy who actually had the foresight to sell his entire portfolio near the top on the basis of corona. Then there's the guys who confidently said this is just a small dip. They are no longer confident...

I'm reading some other local forums too. Man, there's some guys there who's been roughed up pretty badly. A lot of these guys started their investment careers around 2010 and have only known this bull market we just finished. They've spoken about risk earlier, but I think it's one thing to know...

My long only friend says this is the bottom. Allegedly, we can't fall more than this. It's too much. :vomit:

I vote for 1-2 micro contracts. You're in this for the long run and clearly progressing, so I don't see why you should be changing things up. Do you have a standard or average stop? What's the typical R/R on your trades?

I seem to recall some newer interview with Marty where he commented that he probably would not be able to make money in today's markets, i.e., index futures, like he did back in the day. But don't take my word for it. Just something I seem to recall. Always liked the guy from both his own book...

60 Minute Channel. Today was basically a double top. May consider a short overnight.
