Quote from Buy1Sell2:

Will look to short this bounce at some point for a day trade that would be closed MOC or before. Not ready yet, however I have entered a sell stop at 1375.50 for 1 contract short.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



If I get short, the stop will be 1386.75


Manually entered with sell stop removed.
Now short one daytrade contract at 1379.75 with a buy stop of 1386.75
Trade to be closed MOC or sooner if stopped or I manually get out.
 
Stopped out

positive 32.5 points minus 10 commissions (Total still over 30)
negative 7 points minus 1 commission

Total 25.5 point minus 11 commissions.

Lots of Bots today

:mad:

The spoo is always full of bots. The bots that force range extension are very active today.

This has been a difficult day. That crude inventory data was very, very bullish and they are absolutely killing crude and buying stocks. Crude popped to 125 and they absolutely killed it.

I don't see another selling point until 1389, but we'll see.
 
Quote from jagmot:

For the overnight session I will be moving my stop out to the 1415 (catastrophic stop). I'm watching the 240m and daily for any bullish signs and may exit this short position later tonight.

Nice to ride a trade with b1s2 :)

sorry for the late post, stopped out on remaining contracts at 1386. Missed a good place to cover (in hindsight) on the 30 and 60m chart around 9am est.

Hi

I am always interested in why people with experience do what they do.

For example as an intraday Trader why would you assume the unidentified overnight risk, when one would assume that the road to riches lies in ramping up intraday trade size.

If you feel this question is out of order, please ignore it.
