Your a braver man than I to go long in this thin wispy stuff, my friday p.m rule forbids me for starters.

is your trigger signal independent of volume ?

 

[damir00]

it's probably a rationalisation, i'm thinking it's opex and there is far too much on the line for a big move to happen when the "op" part isn't even open for trading. so limited upside - which is how i trade anyway - but also limited downside.

net net, a plus for me.

but like i said, that may well be a rationalisation on my part.

that would require looking at a chart.

I am not entirely convinced if that was a yes or a no, similarly if I should be long or short, whether I should drink at a bar or stay in... its been a long drifty week, what I do know is I should be on holiday looking forward to a volatile september..

 

[damir00]

a drink at the bar is always the right answer. have a good weekend, kap.

(the answer is no, i pay no attention to volume)

 

[Kap]

I'll second that, monday will indeed be another day, enjoy your weekend, greetings from the Bar

sold YM @ 9285, +5. +30 for the day, that last position was *so* not worth the aggravation.
