Hey Buy1Sell2, my calculator's battery went dead.

Volente,
Just post your trade and stop in real time, otherwise we can't grant any kudos. The question is "If you knew ahead of time what was going to happen, then what did you do about it?" --The answer is that we don't know---

Recently you did make a call ahead of time that the market would go no lower than 1350 before heading to 1468 (page 6278 ). At least that call had some intellectual honesty involved since you posted it ahead of time. Thanks in advance for your consideration.
 
Not flaming anyone.........just an opinion about posting live trades. Some of us prefer NOT to call live trades for various reasons. Myself, as often as i might jump in and out as i work breakouts and might jump right back out of i smell a false breakout and to post is not a good idea because as soon as i pass on a post etc........HERE COME THE FLAMERS. .. :D

So like when in the chat (i no longer post in the chat room) i decided NOT to post trades. just an opinion, we all work in our own seperate ways.

got a +6 trade on now but will not follow up on it, Thanks

EDIT: will not follow up on the trade itself i meant.

B1S2 has said that there is no requirement to post a trade. He's just laid out the rules in terms of posting trades for the journal. Those seem like good rules to me.

I make some quick trades as well. I don't post those because the time burden would become too much. What I'm posting is trades that are looking at a somewhat bigger picture.

Just an observation, the longer term 2-day breakout trade initiated yesterday by many "are not allowed" to participate in the downtrend.

Testing their stops (and guts) now. :)

It is not required to post any trades here. But with that in mind, it is also not permissible to to make vague after the fact calls either. Thanks--Ishmael:)
 
Ok, understood. I have before and on occasion will call out what i see as levels etc.


lets just keep the financials all screwed up so we get the swings. . :)

Still trading ESM8
That's me hitting the market with those 3 lots

The 30, 60, and 120 all have good setups.
6 contracts (full position)
3 at 1336.75
3 at 1337.50
Stop at 1319
Targets 1347, 1352, and 1361
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Tired but up for the news

First target hit on econ numbers volatility (1347.50).
Moving stop to 1327.
More...

2nd target hit (1352.00)
Moving stop to 1332.
 
retrace from 1340 up to 1354 = 50% @ 1347 Longs want to see 1347 hold to stay long , else the longs will get nervous.

do not reverse until a reversal comes.if one comes
