Also anything to look for when looking for the best intraday trades in futures?!
Don't fade!!!! Seriously. The thing you need to understand is 90% of the people who trade futures are under capitalized. Say this to yourself 100 times and don't forget it. They have no pain threshold. So when price breaks out it's going to pop hard, I mean really hard. So learn to identify trends.

Where did mfbreakout go? We had some nice strength today in oil. Solid A up. I will say this, if anyone here wants to get long risk assets, product selection is key. I would look to buy crude over the spoos.
I am on vacation for next 3 weeks. Will be checking in when ever get some time..
Solid A up? Is that monthly or for 11-01-2011. If for 11-01-2011, what time frame you use for OR?
Good trading to all.

Really? I didn't think anybody was reading it. Sometimes I get the impression I'm talking to myself on here. LOL.
I don't post a ton because I don't have much of value to contribute. I look foward to reading your posts in this thread, please continue talking to yourself. It is very educational.

Lol, I can't help myself! I'm a fader...I see crude up 4% in a day and think this is too high it has to mean revert!!!
no JK. One question I do have is about targets. Take a good A-up in CL for example. Do you target at the ATR. Just manage by discretion. Trail out stops behind highs/lows. So many possibilities.

If you are going to trade crude, you should check out that Crude Journal which is pretty solid. Those guys have been at it awhile and know all the nuances of trading it.

I've been an interested lurker on this thread for a while - it's been a very valuable resource for me - thanks to Maverick et al for the insights. I thought this article might be something the followers of the thread might appreciate. I think it's an interesting observation PTJ makes that young traders have difficulty in keeping it simple and focusing on the price action:

There is less to trading than meets the eye, this quote was taken by Jim Sloman who got it from some other trader. Can't really quantify it into a system but it makes a lot of sense to me. I like that Paul Jones is unselfish enough to think about the next generation. Remember that kids in their 20's now grew up with computers and cell phones so they will look at the world differently. Also, in the article he seems to imply that markets cycles move in threes, interesting.
