I would love to see a screenshot of that! I absolutely edited the post, but BEFORE the market opened, and not from +14 (+11).

When you're spinning a story you have to know when to make your exit. One little detail can throw the whole thing off. Unless you`re really good and your audience is vastly inferior, your lie needs to contain at least one element of truth, i.e., "Yes, I did edit the post from +14 (true), but I did edit it before the market opened (the actual lie)."

That would at least give you the benefit of doubt and maybe we could have believed that you did not actually edit the original post after the open and that our perception was flawed. I know that you did edit the post, because I was refreshing this page constantly since I was curious about the open and did not have access to my charting software.

Now, ask yourself: "Why would I make a call about the open 6 minutes prior to the open in the first place? And then edit it after the open in order to save face, protect my pride and to look good?"

"If you try to destroy him to save them, they`ll destroy you, to save him."

"The greatest enemy will hide in the last place you would ever look."

I`m writing this post to help you, although it will probably make you furious. Consider it part of your training. :)

Regards.
 
Quote from gmst:

for the first time I have left 1 contract short position in ES over the weekend. We have rallied after the possible G7 intervention speculation following events this weekend, but there is a good chance that something very bad happens this weekend. So, I have left 1 car short.

I hope markets won't open like 20 points against me, that would cause me to lose 1000$.

Edit: I am short from 1335.25

I closed this one at 1339. Didn't lose much.

Anyways, now short order at 1335.5
