NQ
1 Trade today at 8:45 cst.
L@ 1438.25. Covered at 1438.75. 2cts.
Got out WAY too early. It's a problem I'm still dealing with.
Any suggestions?

For now-No.

Just watch and see what happens as the trades are posted-but they must be live calls-with small size-as mentioned twice now.

We will ignore the dim wit posters-as they will surely continue-as surely as the market will move each and every day it is open.

Quote from The General:

The objective is to look at the intraday market-and any market is on the table-it does not matter
I have yet to see anyone trade "any market" with much success. On the other hand, all the successful traders are in fact, to a large extent, specialists. They don't trade the cash futures one day, then bonds the next and the pork bellies the following week, not to mention 5000 stocks in between.

But what do I know, I'm just a noob.

Valid point saliva-

The point is that the market of choice does not really matter-sure one can become an expert in a certain commodity market-or tech stocks-or fx-or whatever-but when an opp is not showing in one market-it may well be showing in another.

If you are to trade fulltime-what is better-to trade an opp when it is there-or to sit and wait for an opp?

As always-most will have their own answer-the one that is right is the one that works best.

Trading is a mugs game really-and most have the idea that you have to call winners most of the time-when the reality is that you must trade the opp when it shows.and try and not loose too much money-with that-I must review Trade 2-as I was interrupted and missed entry by 2 pts-so now I will re-look and see if I will leave trade-or switch to FTSE 100-either way-my risk will be kept to a level that will not bother me if I lose-in fact-I can lose the next 5 trades in a row and it will not bother me-not one little bit.

As for the dim wit experts who will post links to "losing trades"-it shows what they really know about trading-SFA :D

Trade pulled due to not paying attention and missed adjusting entry up by 2 pts-look and see time again-possible switch to FTSE 100 for new trade.

Trade 2 - High Risk of Losing

Market = Dow with limit orders

Order = Short 1

Market Now = 8316

Entry Level = 8338

Stop Level = 8348

Profit Exit Level = 8295 or better-depending on market and if I am at PC if market moves to this level-which can-or can not-happen.

Result =?

Order In - do not copy my trades unless you are prepared to lose-as losing does not bother me one little bit.
