Quote from schizo:

I think the idiots were bent on stopping me out. Call me a conspiracy theorist but it amazes me how my stops are hit in AH, especially when I post them here for everyone to see. It's eerily uncanny at times. This ain't the case in RTH. Do these morons really follow what's written here at ET or am I just paranoid?

probably just paranoia but I always wear a tin foil hat just to be safe.

Quote from Speciaul_K:

For the hell of it you could post a bs stop but really have a sell order working at that price????

Now that you mentioned it, it probably won't work.

Come to think of it, I hate trading AH. It's damn slow and, frankly, the price action is retarded. I don't think it's worth going through the trouble cooking up elaborate tricks. So I bid you goodnight.

the top of that spx gap is at 1067.89 less 4.5 is 1063.25,so a stop above this would probably have been safe

My stop was higher than yours and it would have been hit if I did not get filled at my profit target 1st.

So not posting your stop does not mean it would not have been hit, I don't post my trades, and my stops still get hit.

Also, say you went short at 1030, and used no stop, you would now be down 30 points. A good stop if hit means that market is going to continue in that direction or you did not pick the correct entry point for your trade to begin with.

Also, the market did keep going up past your stop, and its not like it fell 10 points after you got stopped out. The market is still near the highs.

Quote from oraclewizard77:

It gave around 2 points of profit taking, and I was able to get out of my 3 contract position at a profit. Looks like it hit a moving average then bounced back up. Amazing strength considering no real reason for bull move today.

No real reason other than a textbook rotation, in this case a bull rotation. Consolidation, breakout/range expansion, pullback, base, launch. Thur night/Fri morn was our first indication when we broke thru the RTH high. It was the first time since 1130. Monday's AH action was our second indication and the subsequent RTH HH and HL on Tues. The entry was 1020 on the bullish action pre market this am, heading for 1040 as noted yesterday which was the spx equivalent Fib 100 extension, then 1049 which was the ES Fib 100 extension. Everything after that was a pure gift from the black boxes.

Now that we've tagged 62.25 which was the consolidation low from 6/25, we are free to begin moving about the short cabin back down to the 42-45 area.

Quote from Eko_Trader:

On the Flip side, I am watching what the bears will do at the 20 day MA @ 1068 on ES.

My yearly chart shows the 20 at 1060, but I'm not too crazy about IB's charts.

Schizo, I think you're on to something here. Notice how every one of emg's planned entry prices get hit not too long after he announces them, even though they seem very far away at the time?

You can kill me if ES doesn't fall to at least 45 by tomorrow morning. Too bad I'm too tired to deal with such a shitty price action tonight. Ggrrr!
