Quote from Dantheman:

i had 3 losers in the es...
10:54am short @ 1191.75 (eastern time)
10:55 cov @ 1192.50 -.75
3:30pm short @ 1188.25
3:32 cov @ 1188.50 -.25
3:33 short @ 1187.50
3:35 cov @ 1188.00 -.50
(used 1 min as best i could in an anticapatory fashion)
traded off 5 min es
jack talks about wash trades but i still don't see how you can continually get out with no loss...even using some anticipation
just wondering if i'm doing something significantly 'wrong' to produce losers. 3 losing days doing rockets and i'm not sure where i'm going wrong (i do realize we have had low volatiility) but even so, how does one get to 'no loss' trades?
one thought i had was it seems like you could make up the loss with a quick scalp in the opposite direction when you have anticipated rocket failure (say for a couple ticks)...but i haven't read this in the threads yet.
if more info is needed, i will supply (like charts).
