Quote from brownsfan019:

Have these stat's that people quote have any merit whatsoever? Is there any documented evidence of these stats somewhere? I know vendors love to quote them b/c they are selling the dream of being that 5% but I've never seen any real documented evidence of this stat that is so casually thrown around.

Excellent point. I haven't either. I think that many, if not most, aspiring professional traders fail to make enough to make a living, but I have no evidence of that.

Althouth I am always willing to help out someone if in need, I really do not care about the success rate of other traders, frankly.

...class B bullish divergence at 7:30 ...36.50

...15 min chart.... target 9 points or 37+9...46

It was also an inverse h and S

Rule of 10 and 10:30 around the corner, time for a dip?

I saw that pattern as well, breakout setup no doubt.
Here is the current esz with overhead at $1560.00.
Pretty close, have a great week all.

not a chance in hell

lucky if you get 2 points shorting

I "accidentally" shorted at 1546 (damn OEC software, pisses me off sometimes) and got out at 1545.75 so I can't complain. Usually when I fat finger it I end up in the red.

Still long from 1533 average now, from last night's post. Not expecting any wild swings. Just for Dow to tack on an additional 1%-1.5%

Distribution. Vix like a mouse. et al

Tomorrow another story.

I already have twice.

Check back in later when the sellers take this back to the gap.

Quote from jagmot:

With the market closing above my resistance zone of 1510, I have removed my previous short bias. I'm now looking for a successful test of this zone by the end of the week. Once we make a successful test there, I think we have to start looking at new highs by the end of the year.

R/R trade I just got short here at 1534 (1 contract) and have an add on at 1538, with a stop hiding just a bit above that. Target 1515.

Well that one didn't work -500 to start the day

I ll be looking for a new entry (short) towards the end of the day today but not going to force it.
