First of all - do you have a comfortable chair and nice home office? I can get restless too, so I definitely can relate. And I've always enjoyed the development part and research more than the actual trade execution. Maybe start by breaking the day up into parts and start by committing to...

Thanks. Certainly got lost in the chop early on today. I actually had a quite decent long entry just when we started ripping, but trailed myself out too soon as I usually do. :)

Since that would make this an Outside Day, but this trend higher is @Relentless .

I don't think we'll get that far today.

All time frames saying LONG now.

Shouldn't have ran that analysis. LOL. I've been bullish since the LOD - but that analysis + the visual perception of a bear flag for the last hour got the best of me. Not sure what the rest of the day will bring and just not getting a good read today. As long as we're staying below the Open...

What you're basically saying is that there are less clean trends and less breakouts? I don't doubt that at all. It can be explained by a lot of things - I believe. Increased participation/competition/liquidity and HFT for one. Even in some of the older Schwager interviews there were guys...

Sold 93,25. 4 point stop. Updated statistical analysis says it's highly likely we'll sell into the Close today. I'm conflicted though - especially with NQ doing what it does. EDIT: Stopped. - 4,00. Just not getting a good read today.

Well - we're chopping until we're not. And I didn't consider my entry (which was a bit late) to be top of the range. I went long since I believed we had just printed a false breakout of the current LOD. :)

How so? :)

Stopped. - 4,0. Went back in long at 86 with a 3 point stop. Late entry, so feel free to discard for journal integrity purposes. ;) Trying hard to catch a falling knife here. EDIT: Stop at 86,50 - locking in 2 ticks. Will probably get stopped. EDIT 2: Stop at 91,50. 5,5 points locked in.

If only there was a way to recognize that in advance and avoid getting chopped up. Any words of wisdom?

Every rip is sold and every break is bought. Choppy day for sure. With NQ strong - I'm just not so sure we'll see any downside momentum today. Trying a long from 2790. Stop at 2786.

S&P futures too.

For now - it seems. Remains to be seen if we can put in a bottom here on this test of the LOD. I suppose today still has the potential of turning into a sweet sell lower. But for me, I'm still primarily looking for a long here. Just look at how strong NQ is. I did that - but was already in...

Not sure if there's anything inherently wrong with Fridays. Been a long time since I've experienced chop like we had this morning. Mark D Cook said he took Fridays off because a long term analysis of his performance showed a poor result on Fridays. But according to him - it was because of...

Am I the only one who got chopped up this morning? Just got stopped out on my last long entry for + 1 points. Pulled back deeper than I was interested in sitting through. Stalking a long entry from here. I still maintain the view that the LOD is set and that we'll make new highs from here.

2 ticks slippage? :wtf:

I'm waiting for @Buy1Sell2 to confirm that a massive, massive move up is imminent. :)

Looks like the bulls won this one. I think we're done below for today. Need to clear out 2798 first. NQ almost back to HOD.
