Quote from pulsescan:

very interesting dynamic. futures is leading the cash right now.
the past few days the cash has been leading the futures.

Not at my computer at the moment.

This sounds like liquidation stopped since lunch.

That is a first time since last week.

YIPPEE!!!

today was an amazing day. I made $$$ on the short side. Big day. Now can the mkt hold here and bring in some buyers. I still think that the mkt experienced some profit taking and not "real" buying.

While I do not know who you were referring to, today's extensive posting was to illustrate that I believe most traders on this board typically do not post all their trades due to time and other constraints. Even today, I could not post all entries or management in close enough to real time for any sort of integrity purposes when trading multiple instruments and contracts.

As for as anyone making a name for themselves, to my knowledge, no one on this board knows me and I know no one on this board or thread and I believe everyone else is pretty much annonymous as well.

B1, apex, mb, me, we all have are own methods, reasons and logic for trading the way we do and for posting. All that matters is the p/l and the only one it matters to is one's own self in this game.

Hope everyone had a good day.

Quote from smilingsynic:

This journal used to have intraday trend followers like Apex and Mbusch who read the tape and went with it. Instead, this journal is filled with intraday bottom catchers and top callers who attempt to make a name for themselves.

Gap down + mid-day consolidation = later day contination. One of the most reliable intraday principles in existence.

This journal is not the same--that's why I post most of my stuff elsewhere. :-(

Right on!

For that same reason I dont have time to post trades and the reason for them since I'm acting and reacting to mkt conditions and setups often there is little to no time to record those. I'm not here to make a name for myself or to seek koodos. My p/l is koodos enough for me. all that matters is did you or did you not make $$$. that is why we trade.....to make $$$. These boards are not for show offs or no it alls. This board is to exchange ideas and talk shop and to encourage one another in this game. It doesnt matter if you can call the mkts. what matters is did you profit from it?

Congrats to those that captured some of todays action. to those that did not ........be encouraged. perhaps you can study todays price action and learn something so that you can be prepared for the next time.
