What a day. All kinds of tech problems this morning...IB missing data etc. Then I kept getting disconnected from their server for some reason. sigh. In the end I missed some entries at the beginning of the day. Most frustrating of which was the second trade attempt (yellow arrow), trying to...

So my adventures for the day. Not bad overall, 11 pts. I need to hold a little longer at times I think. I tend to get nervous I will lose my gains and take what's on the table at times. Thanks epetrov for the advice earlier on using a smaller volume chart. It has helped me tremendously to...

Not meant to criticize, but why not wait till the pullback for entry on those, instead of the first leg down?

Thanks for the suggestions Mccullek. Good to see you back on here. Now off for a weekend road trip. Till Monday.

Hey guys. Thanks for all the input. I appreciate the constructive discussion. Thanks for the timezone update BYF I probably should have figured that out on my own, but it was just one of those days. MCcullek...a short while ago I was on here complaining of no fills waiting for 50%, now I am...

Here is the chart

Anyone else go long at around 13:29 on that big up bar? I felt it was close to support and had a strong bullish bar. I guess the trend wasn't all that clear, but I would love to hear anyone else's explanation as to why they didn't take it. The number of bids/asks has dwindled in the last bit...

crap, i mean 273. man what a day. maybe i should try and do one thing at a time from now on. :confused:

oops, sorry toucan, thought u were talking to me. Thanks for the insight TX

My stops are based on two ticks above/below the high/low of bar one for a 3 bar reversal entry, but sometimes i get out if PA looks like its telling me to get out. For my exits I try to look for a reversal, but as u can probably see from my chart I have a habit of bailing early. I tend to get...

Here are my trades so far today. Two trades, both short. Could hav eheld longer as usual, but that is my weakness. Total of around +10pts. Question tho. There seems to be some differences in my chart compared to others and I can't figure out why. At 10:02 for example Stone has price at...

agreed

So the rest of my day didn't go quite according to plan..... 1. Good start to the day, not the greatest exit, but a winner non the less. 2. Tried to go long here and didn't like the action so I exited for a 2 tick loss. No problem. However, that big 25k buy order went thru and it got...

I checked the time and sales and a 122k block went thru at 9:04:22, just for curiousity sake.

IB using QT for charts.

So my morning trade. Only one so far, and I exited early by far. I got distracted and closed the position because I couldn't devote my whole attention to it. As a result it was a 4.25pt winner but could have been much more.

Hmmm. I have been using the standard 3 Bar Reversal, entering on the third bar. I typically enter half way down the bar but I do get the frustrating no fills. I think I will try to look at a lower time frame and scale in a bit. I have been trading two cars so I could conceivably enter the...

Thanks for the tip.

I have been lurking around here for a while now, but decided to sign up and join the posting. I appreciate the discussions and input from everyone, it has been a good resource. So here is my question.... On a 3 bar reversal how does everyone deal with a long bar on the second bar? I find it...
