I had a touch and no fill at 905.00 on the pullback so I pulled off 1/2 of my 908.25 adds at 905.50......price traded back up to 908.00 level where I covered last 1/2 of 908.25 entries. I held all 908.00 entries and I have just added a new level of entries at 909.50 here in the AH session (a few hours before the EU open tonight). For now I have my first level of targets set at 905.50 and then next below that at 902.50 level.Quote from AMT4SWA:
I have placed an additional level of positions at 908.25 here to increase overall position size......will hold all positions into the AH session. I will cover 1/3 of these second fill added 908.25 entries at 905.00 and 1/6'th of these added entries at 903.00, with the last 1/6'th of these added entries targets at the 901.00 price level. My first set level of 908.00 entries targets remain as previously set.

I almost never go for only 2 point hits. I would rather just cycle positions in/out as I build the short position size, while going for 5 point targets most of the time as the initial set of targets. In a 3'rd deviation move there is sometimes only one pullback of 5 points or more......so that is just the nature of that type of price movement. Since I am holding remaining positions from 926.75 entries, I am biased in this situation more to rebuilding the overall short position size versus trying to get 2 point hits here and there.Quote from jfw215:
I see that clear as day now. AMT, I know you said you like your first target to be 3-5 pts. In today's trades did you prefer to take BE's vs. a partial profit of 1-2 pts since it was tough to get 3-5 pts against the trend? If you do prefer the BE is it because in the long run you feel you do better having a minimum price target of greater than 2 pts?
Thanks

What would have been real fun today, would have been letting you do the actual trades on my DOM while I sit next to you telling you exactly what to do realtime!!! :eek:Quote from EdgeHunter:
Yowsa... it helps to keep your ears open and your brain focused...
so okay...
What i have seen you deploy is a disciplined trading process on your part that includes... statistical arbitrage using standard deviation measurements, average cost positioning strategies, auction theory distribution overlays and cumulative delta divergence methods all combined into a powerful combo multipart S/R method to help you tame the market your way...
I think i have got it...![]()
Its a walk in the park.. not...
let me ponder on it for a Yuga or two..

Price trades to size, so you will many times see on running profile or 2'nd/3'rd deviation days price run from one major area of supply to another (run price to an area of inventory and dump your positions into those weaker hands....then load up with newly initiated inventory and then run those new positions to the next major areas of supply again to dump into weaker hands). There was LONG position inventory accumulation in the mid to high 870's both Friday and then Sunday/Monday AH session......this inventory was then run hard up to various pockets of resting short inventory today, to pass off to weaker hands at the various levels. I would say some of the "commercials" had themselves a good day today.Quote from manlycure:
908 is the 906-911.50 short zone's "center of gravity". Long zone above 911.50.
875 was (and still is) the top of a long zone (starting at 869.50) last night. Rally started 1 tic above that. OTOH, 876-881.50 was (and still is) a short zone. Price didn't have a problem slicing thru it on the way up. Go figure.
