I love these overnight pullbacks in bull markets!

Looks like that turned out to be a well timed trade.
Nicely done.

Geez, dont encourage him. Its not like theres anything close to any kind of analysis going into these trades - Get stopped out, go short immediately. Get stopped out, go short immediately.

Brilliant! Great trading! Let's see.. +6.5 - 75 equals...

Short 2891.75 Initial stop 2903.25

Why was your stop so tight at 2897 short, VS this short at 2891.75 which is wider? If and when your trend is down? I am trying to understand your estimates of volatility?

 

[cowf]

Long 2892.00, anticipate 2903.00 Support and stop above 2807.00.

The intraday downtrend started well above where we are now. Thus, I have to give this trade more room.

In addition, we had a massive swing sell signal in the early overnight.

Long 2892.00, anticipate 2903.00 Support and stop above 2807.00.

Huh? 11 target and an 85 point stop?

The intraday downtrend started well above where we are now. Thus, I have to give this trade more room.

So then why would you not stay all in for the downtrend at 2897.00 and manage the stop from there? Versus giving the entry below such a wide stop to give the gains back?
Again, just trying to understand. I respect and still respect your intelligence and tactics.
