You guys must use some pretty wide stops...

Trading in the first 30 minutes is where I make majority of trades/profits.

Trading small time frames (personally I trade 250tick/550tick NQ) charts do you pay much attention to candlesticks/price action and how they behave around certain areas that you deem important? Would you say this is crucial to becoming a successful trader? Where did you learn about it?

It's a real shame they don't support ICE products.

Any chart? http://i58.tinypic.com/nbrntz.jpg

Good stuff mate.. Anyone ever blow your account up and reload it by finding a job for a year?

Ever get a feeling to take a trade, but don't really have a sound/logical reason as to why? Your subconscious is picking up something you can't quite put your finger on. I don't know about you.. but when I have this feeling it's more right than wrong. How does one take this and cultivate it...

6. I feel fantastic not a single regret, because I traded well and executed my plan.

Looking at past trades I realize I leave a lot left on the table getting out of trades too early before my target. In the heat of the trade I fail to realize and understand that price will go up and down before reaching my target. I see the price get within a point of my target, shoot up 50%...

So the biggest difference is psychological, that I understand. So would the mindset "trade like this is sim" be wise? I could see that leading to blowing out your account. I take it no one here buys into the SL hunting by MMs?

In the infamous thread "Trading with stop losses in a futures market is for losers" a couple of things were brought up that I thought were interesting. Now lets take the example of the average Joe with a 10k account trading 1 contract on the ES. He uses an ATM strategy of a 1 point loss...

Market can be extremely manipulated. Searching and hunting stops. Just today I had the price follow up my stop each time i moved it for 15 minutes. Price NEVER moves the way it did, it made NO sense in this history of 4 years I've been trading futures. Quite obvious - why even play a...

Lol.

Off question: when is NT8 to be released? Spring 14?
