Quote from svrart:
i was in the paltalk session yesterday too.
here's what he does:
1. calls all trades beforehand.
2. there is an aggressive and a conservative position with a stop 1 point away from the conservative. yesterdays was to sell at 1220.25 aggressive, 1221.50 conservative and a stop of 1222.50. the 1221.50 got executed.
3. when the position moves one point in favor half is closed for a then riskless trade.
4. the stop stays till a profit of 3 points is seen, after which a proprietary stop takes over.
5. when 10 points is hit, some more contracts (quarter of initial) are closed out.
6. remaining run on the proprietary stop.
he calls buys and sells several times during the day. some get stopped out very quickly.
he made some very good calls.
i found him to be quite humorous and tolerant of stupid and hostile questions. if i were him i would have thrown out some of the people!
things he did not answer even though asked multiple times - what is the win ratio, and what is his own performance.
anyway, it was an interesting experience. as my approach is discretionary, i saw things from a very different mechanical perspective.
