Well, you don't know how many times I gave back my profit in the last 2 weeks. With some trades, I was up more than 10 points. There has been a few times when I even lost money.

The problem could have been avoided had I just took the damn profit at reasonable targets.

With that said, I ALWAYS have hard targets in mind when trade is initiated, and that seems to be working against me at the moment. If you have specific suggestions, I'm all ears.

the markets are thin,everyone is trading smaller size,when you know thru your tally where all the bids and offers are and there is less money on the table they turn the market early,not having to share with the rest,the pigs will always be pigs,after they have been feed we get the rest,we have been stalling right under and right above the turns

Last time I checked it was Friday.

You seem to attribute any upside to this fallacy, no matter the day too now.
 
Lots of bears around today.
Even Oscar has a 'red OMNI' and looking for more downside.

People 'in the know' must be aware that the economic data will be negative today.

Hey, what's up? Thanks for the link. Maybe I'm getting senile but, back in the old days, you could palpably feel when the program trades kick into high gear. I don't detect much ruckus anymore.

Anyway, it's been a nonstop crap shoot for the last 2 weeks. As a permabear, I should be racking up some serious money but if I'm not giving back most of my profits, I'm getting my head bashed. What's worst, most of the big drops occurred in the AH session. It seems like these bots got me all figured out.

No pb. Well I can't complain, the vola has been better than I expected this summer and CL is quite fun to trade. But overall, it just seems the liquidity is not there. Maybe that explains why you don't feel so much program trading moves like you used to.

With GDP and Bernanke speaking, hopefully we get more action today than the usual Friday chop. Good luck trading.
 
Daily p/a not looking that strong at all IMO. Trend is down, but price may oscillate significantly nevertheless. My target remains 1,022. Good trading ;)
