Quote from TRS:

As regards transparency, could you please advise of how this trade eventuated.

I doubt very much you are going to get a response,TRS...has all the ear markings of a paper trade or ,at best, sim.

It flies in the face of his 'scalp' style,which is impressive.

Only a galah would have an open order with no stop overnight. Was -6 and a possibility the clowns in Washington said "no deals , no budget " and it could have easily cracked 1300.

Also would have been on o/n margin from day;so that could have created problems.

stopped.

i'm finished posting here i can't follow the journal rule placing fixed stops ahead of time. i don't trade that way makes no sense to me. I trade quickly off price action bars, i have no clue what my stop will be till i see howthe action unfolds. i sense antagonism here about this style so i'm done here. good trading and good luck bye

Well I totally understand you not posting stops
(and if their is some "rule" then just say your stop "is always 5 pts " and you are away from a "rule".)

Usually people who quote such clap are guys who trading is not going well for themselves and are jealous of success - not a very healthy or mature attitude.

As to the antagonism - unfortunately it is just how some of the grouchies are. -- I may not have noticed because I have quite a few of the
"my gout is acting up and I'll vent my spleen on the board"
on the ignore list.


I think you have some great days and I appreciate it when anyone post their trades - sim or real (though it's best to say if it's sim IMHO).

I encourage you to keep posting, but not if the negative energy of ET gets in the way of you making your money.

Thanks for what you have shared.

i appreciate your comments. My purpose here is to break the monotony and solitude of the lonely trader's day , DONT TAKE MY TRADES! i don't take yours. you don't know what i am doing, and i dont know what you are doing.

This is just for fun. i enjoy watching other styles, and i thought others in this thread would enjoy that too.

But the negativity here is starting to affect me and my trading. If you're going to hold my feet to the fire on every commentthen i will stop posting here.

Must we take this so seriously?

agree with aquarian,just have a standing max loss,you're style is tradeable only for the few,which makes it harder to believe,when you have time ,post a few charts,a visible logic to your madness,if your mind works that fast,more power to you,if you do decide to quit posting,good luck,was a pleasure watching you catch the turns

Yes ammo, it was fun watching him catch the turns.
I have trouble walking and chewing gum at the same time,
so think its great it takes the time to post when the trades are frequent.

Seriously? Only the few scalp short term price action? That surprises me because that seems to me to be the first inclination. I admire you traders that trade further out..in the day or the dailys. i can't do that..

You were long the previous session and you come in calling new trades with no mention of previous underwater long.
It's called accountability.

Mate, traders lose.. it's how we manage the losses (financially/mentally) that matter. There was no mention of this Overnight position which reeked of avoidance.
