I think someone's been piggybacking off the calls and charging for them. I would post you the website showing the calls 2 minutes after my posts, but I won't.

Yesterday you only had one call, which came 9 mins AFTER my call, when I stated exactly at the bottom (10:55) that we will rally from there. Talking about piggybacking... :)

Anyway, I have a better idea. Why don't you post fake calls (I mean losing ones) to throw off the piggybacker??? And for us to know that those are the fake ones, you could put an asterisk behind it... (wink,wink)

The point is, every journal has the danger of someone piggybacking it, you should be proud, that you were considered worthy to copy...

You too dmartin. Only business you know, nothing personal.

All the best to you as well.
 
Post the link! :D


Quote from optioncoach:

Call him out to stop it, if he is piggy backing then you are getting in ahead of him anyway so no harm to you but call him out if he is charging others for it. Public outing is the best way to stop something like that.

Quote from Mins:

I agree completely with what your saying, and 1473 was strong resistance but following my plan would have meant:

- full position size of 4 contracts, with last 2 as add-on at 1465

- target for the first 3 contracts would then be yesterdays resistance with one unit left on to run to new highs later in the day, and stop moved to break-even on last unit. Ultimate target of my last unit was 1482.

- this was written in my plan as i entered my limit orders but as you can see i did not execute it fully - which in my book still means bad trading and bad newbie psychology.

Sorry if this seems like im complaining its just this is not the first time i have not followed my plan, and though it was a very good trade i still feel i miss out on a lot of profit everyday due to psychology of executing my plan fully.

I guess im still a newbie and still learning though. Im trying to write this down now so i can sort of rewire my brain to always follow my plan which was produced pre-market on conditions on the assumptions of certain price levels holding.

Sorry for rambling guys :D

Im glad i wrote this now because this shows why i am such an amateur trader.

What is a good day could have been an amazing day if i had followed my plan.


:mad:

I will stop posting my live trades. I think someone's been piggybacking off the calls and charging for them. No call today from me and neither from the piggybacker. hmmm. You know who you are. I would post you the website showing the calls 2 minutes after my posts, but I won't. He won't last anyway.

They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so I assume you feel quite flattered.

Like many others here, I enjoyed following your trades and learning from what you do. You call of 1467 yesterday was remarkable. I'd encourage you to continue your participation here, but certainly understand why you might be reluctant. I also agree with others here that "outing" the copycat publically is probably the best way to deal with him.
 
Quote from wave:

You know where we are going right? 1490+ Watch for downdraft up there.

Does your model show you something special about 1490? I show resistance at 1483-4 and 1496-7. Do you expect us to get above 1483-4 before the FOMC release at 2pm or only afterwards?

I don't know times. 1490-1502.50 very likely today. Look for volatile downdraft from there.

Quote from Wave:
All I am saying is that I as a trader or investor using a model can be long the US Dollar and short Crude Oil without ever knowing the macro or micro or anything else. I am likely to be long or short sooner than the fundamentalists. I can also take the top 100 relative strength stocks and make a fortune investing in them and ride the trends with a great model. I really don't need a catalyst or fundamentals to drive my decisions.

Oil in the red , Greenback in the green.
