When you placed the first trade in that contract, didn't your broker pop up a message something like, "AND JUST HOW DO YOU PLAN TO TAKE DELIVERY OF THAT 1000 BARRELS OF OIL?" :D

Since my system has fixed rules that describe setups, entry triggers, order placement, and trade management, as well as filters to exclude normally qualifying trades due to the context of previous price action, it most certainly can be automated, and the system has been net profitable for over...

OK, I had a moment here to calculate your PnL for the day. We have a serious problem and, as is common on public forums, trolls are involved. I endorsed you as qualified to represent the professional PATA-ters of ET in a high pressure trading environment, based on your answer to a question...

RA, you have to be willing to tip Mr. Market a tick or two! Front run those levels! :p

No problem! If the trade you're about to put on isn't based on your trading rules, just do the opposite. Works like a magic :) I once engaged in a 100+ trade revenge-fest with a stock (I would trade just a few times a day back then). I was so shell-shocked that I ended up taking that stock...

It could be part of an objective, programmable automated TA system. Round numbers, for example, tend to get defended following deep trending moves into them from above or below. You could effectively buy or sell counter to the approach near the round number and set stop/target based on research...

I absolutely believe MadeMan is the real deal and I endorse him 100%, even though I know absolutely nothing about him. Why? Because he answered question #3 without hesitation and his answer was a number that I like.

I posted in the P/L threads daily for a couple years; it doesn't change beliefs because beliefs are based on personal experience and bias. When someone has a strong belief s/he will discard conflicting evidence, modify it internally, or search for any shred of data that supports the belief ...

I empty my mailbox contents every year, only saw the recent one. You never answered any of them? I'm hurt :(

Yes, that's absolutely normal. You see, when the umbilical cord is cut a decent portion of Mom and Dad's brain gets sucked through it into the baby, leaving Mom and Dad terminally ADD. Just being in the proximity of Mom subjects Dad to this phenomenon, and it's much worse if Dad cuts the cord :p...

I apologize for giving the wrong price target to the upside, but I've warned everyone before to place target orders a tick or two inside the level :p Once again, amazing how this useless TA junk science keeps producing this coincidental recurring price behavior :cool:

I didn't get a fill either, and I wasn't even trying to pick the big R level; all I wanted was a pullback off the 5m bar break, no fill, but the PA today not bad overall :)

Damn, RA, you was robbed. Unless you staggered some orders inside your level. I sometimes do that if a level is key in more than one way and it could be a crowded trade trying to get a precise fill. ADD: tomahawk pointed out the 50% retrace, also VWAP and also previous support .19 becomes R...

VWAP @ .21, upper channel around .34 at this time

No kidding, only three secret messages in four and half years? I'm certainly not expressing much passion, unlike Annaland who caused Surf to shut down his PM because she filled it to overflowing :D

OMG, help me, I'm going to die shortly of terminal constipation because I no longer have an ass, having totally laughed it off. :D

I was kindly ask to avoid chatting with Surf and Atticus on the TST journal thread, so I will expose the secret nature of the PM-based love affair I'm having with Atticus, which consists of this single PM I sent him earlier in the month: Registered: May 2008 Posts: 7595 ES Quote...

Whew! OK, then. (PSSSSST, MadeMan...don't screw this up, don't make me look bad, I can't afford to lose my twitter following...oh wait that's a different Nodoji...) :p

No wait, wait, wait, I meant MadeMan is the real deal! I still don't know about this Pryme Tyme. Let me check him out...

I never expressed such a thought nor do I think it! It's the TA naysayers who keep calling us TA-ers losers. I think you can trade profitably using phases of the moon, and in fact I believe the biggest Holy Grail on ET hangs out at Volente's Bar and Grille, believes all small traders lose...
