Quote from OTCkrak:

"The lines are just numbers I pull out of my ass that historically seem like decent enough levels to place a bet."

An improvement over this method is to pull the numbers from someone elses' ass. In that case there is no need (or possibilities) for historical studies.

I tend to think that it will probably be a snoozer until 2 pm today maybe except for a little range making in the morning. Interesting Euro action though, going down all night.

If a selloff is possible, then today is the day. Everyday is a snoozer for someone.

Your lack of patience just cost you 1 point (at least). About an extra 50% return on your trade (minimum).

It wasn't lack of patience; it was allowing a previous trade to influence a new trade. Last week ES trade moved 4 pts in my favor and I was patient, allowing to to stop me out b/e. So today when it double bottomed without my fill, I wanted something out of it.
:eek:

Your excuses are your own. A very good living can be made on 2 points per day. I was just pointing out the obvious.
