Quote from NoDoji:
My last long was 89.80, exit @ 90.40 based on the "this thing has gone too far and that's a lot of ticks" exit strategy. As you can see, I'm very professional in my trade management
I took similar trades and added on above inside bar, went short on upsloping trend lines since vol shows weak.
I like using one minute bars as ways to trail stop on these running markets, trail pivots, but also if a close above a previous pivot is just a little bit like at 10:25mdt, I trail below low of each bar, unless I have done counter trend trades.
The lows of the day showed nice vol accumulation, and can see H&S few bars later.
One of my favorite entries is on the one minute when a market is really ripping in strong trend, if price breaks two pivots, I will enter above lowest low, only way I can risk approx 10 tics or less.
Well, got to make yukky tofu for lunch, gave up meat. I got to take a cooking class.
cover 2 at 90.20
I know you feel this is your very own professional strategy you've come up with yourself. And I hate to burst your bubble. But I've used this same strategy before myself. And I once heard of another guy that used it too. And also I've used the similar strategy of "This has run too far, it can't go any higher." And also "This has sold off too much. It can't go any lower." So perhaps this won't be called "The NoDoji Get What's There Exit" or "The NoDoji That's Good Enough Exit" or "The NoDoji Too Many Ticks Exit" after all.Quote from NoDoji:

Although I do like the ring of the last one.

My New Year Revolution is to capture at least ONE 100+-tick run this year! I will use the "See, NoDoji CAN Be A Greedy Pig" exit strategy
OK, that was the tamest NYMEX close I've seen in a long time.
Funny story: We look at 6E a while ago and say, "Wow euro's really dead." And I say, "Yeah we always say that late in the day when it's a flat pancake and then suddenly we're saying, 'Damn, look at euro!'"
My friend has a sim screen up for euro and I tell him, "In your sim account, bracket stop orders @ .3150 and .3164."
And he does, and it eventually breaks and he takes 20 ticks sim profit.
And not one of us traded it live :eek:
The only way I capture 100 tick moves is either by sleeping, playing video games or playing golf while the move is happening. When I'm watching it I always put on a hedge or scale back instead of putting the pedal to the medal like I should have when it got above 89 earlier. I think I made like 40 ticks on that hour of strength. When I think about all the correct trades that weren't even close to be maximized it makes me kind of sick. But it is also what keeps me fighting to improve. Oh yeah I just got massively short the ES!!
