Always easy in hindsight. Plenty of bears here at yesterday's close.

Still looking at 6 attempts on the ATH? :)

Seems like yesterday's rare late session sell-off and Outside Day wasn't the end of the world after all. ;) NQ is back in the lead too, so looks good from here.

Weekly forecast as of Tuesday's Close: - 75 % odds we'll close above 3350 and at top of the range - 75 % odds of a new high (Thursday or Friday). Should come in at 3390 or more. That's scenario 1 - the bullish of one. Scenario 2 is that we'll see an Outside Week going all the way down to...

That was pretty f’’king funny. Good bellylaugh here. :)

I'm one of those monkeys. :) Are you then saying that it's easier to trade/profit on AAPL or stocks in general compared to index futures? If so - care to elaborate on that one? It's a statement I've heard in the past and the answers been mixed - coming from people who have experience both with...

Yes, you did. At least have the guts to admit that. Bullies will always do the "I was just joking" when confronted, but you did take a swing at him. I'm sure you've seen your trading heroes on this thread do the same and maybe you were trying to be one of the cool guys, too. You failed there...

Well. Did you notice how many attempts we had before we successfully broke out of the trading range at 3230? Depending on how you count it - I measure about 8 attempts including a few failed breakouts. Maybe it was an odd statement. Maybe not. Maybe @Buy1Sell2 is suggesting the ATH will be the...

Dude. When did you ever contribute anything of value? As far as I can see, @Buy1Sell2 is a far better trader than you. Yet, you mock him in his own journal without ever having posted a trade yourself? Last week I posted quite a few trades and pretty much nailed the entire week with a blotter...

Screw you, dude. I was drinking wine and checking ET on my cell phone and now had to log on to my trading station just because of you. Just kidding (or maybe not). No, seriously. I'm kidding. :) Exciting times for sure. Regardless of all that - I think the bullish sentiment is simply very...

Dude. You're kind of stating the obvious. An outside bar cannot become anything else? Well - thanks for sharing that! :D

We had 7 days up in a row, yes? :) Not the end of the world yet.

Yes? Did I state otherwise? Are you being philosophical or practical? Regardless, show me then when we had a day similar to today based on the parameters I outlined.

On the subject of forecasting. The reason I went long at the 59-60 level was that we were at a key level and my intraday model said the odds of a new LOD were about 5 %. I'd take those odds again. :) Anyway. I just checked the odds of a day not yet an Outside Day becoming an Outside Day after...

Yes. It was confusing. Why would you hope the market would trade up to your entry price again? A blatantly obvious call looks like this: Long/Short XXXX. Stop XXXX. With an exit posted in real time or a target limit in advance. The way you posted this made it hard for me to follow as you...

I'm confused though. The Outside Day was mentioned during the first hour as we were selling lower. After the morning low were in you were mentioning buy signals on the 15-minute and you said you were hoping we'd go higher? I didn't seem like a short call by then. Thanks for clarifying.

I still don't follow, @Relentless. Is it supposed to be a mock comment? There were no knives at the time I went long.

I don't follow?

Stopped on that previous trade. Long 56. Stop @ 50. EDIT: Stop @ B/E. Rinse and repeat if stopped.

Stop @ B/E. Targeting 70 or more. Will probably re-enter long on the same trade idea if stopped, but probably won't post it. I manage risk/trades actively, often re-entering scratch trades. So don't really like posting because of that reason.
