Bagged another 2 lots on the way down there and Im long with 3 avg price 3004.3. Lets see how far they can push this.

EDIT: Actually, Im calling it a night now. Closed all positions here. Bagged 22.25 points today and when Im this far up pushing it harder usually means giving back a significant amount.

22.25 in paper money or is some of that real?

I think this is it, no?

around 13.00 area by my calculation, not taking it if it doesn't go that area. probability around 60% only.

Im trading the 2nd stage of E2T's gauntlet, so technically it is paper money but I get payed in real money. Made $1008 today, when I have made $5000 on the live simulator (which is what they call the 2nd stage of the gauntlet) I get payed $5000 and sign a contract to become a partner of Helios LLC.

Smart move given market conditions.

Yeah it's crazy out there, but today was my best day by far in July. Not to brag or anything but I almost called every move today if you check my posts here in the thread today.

Actually PA has been good all week...the key for me at least is not to take positions within consolidation

here around 10.00 can also try. u never know it might not go up till 13.00 as it does seem like a resistance .

btw i have no idea, whats going, i am having an over load since its my first day back. so better not take anything on my account.

Cant really answer that since it depends on what setup I am trading, some times I trade 1 contract initially if I think the market might move away from my entry the wrong way and add on the way down, sometimes I trade 2 right away and at most I trade 3.

Profit targets depend on trend lines, fibb retracement and projections, PA... It's different every time. As I posted earlier I play a lot by ear and not by any set standards, since set standards come from the trader and not the market.
