He stopped making sense a long time ago. If you just started reading the journal again, you've been missing out on a lot of weird stuff. It's not unlikely that the bottom is in. Personally, I think not. But the pandemic is certainly not over. That's for sure.

I suppose that's why they need education, then...

Every break is sold or bought. Choppy. But it does want to go higher...

Working a big flag here.

Seems unlikely, yes, but so does this leg up to begin with. I just follow price with no regard for the news and in term of recent price movements, those targets are within what can happen. :) As long as we don't dip a lot below 2535 or so - I think there's a decent chance we make new highs from...

Would not short this yet - beyond a scalp. I'm thinking we can print 2600 from here. Possibly 2692,50. Not very likely though.

Starting to look good for the next leg down from here.

'Pullbacks' are great. Breakouts are great. Everything is just fantastic. :)

I don't think that's going to happen. But I will inquire one more time... I suppose I already have that, but the broker statements are a pain to read and only shows the # of buys/sells sorted in order by price. The orders are not timestamped. Just date. I spent quite a few hours on this...

Yes. I mentioned that earlier as a possible explanation, but I still can't find the execution for it in my trading software. Maybe it's not logged in my trading software if the order was executed after my order were shut down? Still, I should be able then to find the the actual order that was...

So true. One of the professional traders I've been fortunate to talk to says that there are times when he can stay out of the markets for hours if things are not clear and if he's not getting a signal. I got chopped up yesterday and it was partially because I was not patient/selective enough...

For said day - I have 25 buys/26 sells making me net short 1 contract. According to my broker and the statement I received. However, in my trading software - I have 26 buys/26 sells making me flat by EOD. This was also my intention and what I thought to be true. That's why I was very surprised...

At this point - I'd prefer to keep both my software and broker private in case the error is not on their end and since I haven't suffered a personal loss from this. I've done a few fat finger blunders over the years as I'm sure most other must have, but these have been quickly fixed by closing...

Hi all, Last week I had an overnight trade that I can't account for. I have no recollection of either entering or exiting it. Fortunately, it was a fairly profitable trade even, but in this environment, it could easily have ended up with a margin call. Looking over my records - my only...

You never acknowledged the 'down trend' to begin with, so...

Of course! :) I'm only saying that a large day up does not negate the current trend down.

Not yet, I'm afraid. One day! :)

The last 2 times we've had great days up - they were countered by equal or greater down moves the next day.

Sorry to hear that. I definitely feel that today was quite different than recent days with a lot more chop and fast reversals up/down. It really illustrates why trading is so hard, i.e., the always changing conditions.

How so? Slower...?
