out -11 ah, typical.. instead of 70, it went for 80 to take the stops out it will come off now

DOW long 12670, stop 59.

nice trade!

closed it with only +10.

stopped myself out at breakeven... -0 lack of selling! am prepared to re-enter though, but already short on the DOW remember

NQ short 2032.50 stop 2034.

that's funny postman, I was just about to say the same! but can't really leave the screen, unless you set limit orders... did you do so? triple digit profits at least I take it

stop moved to breakeven

lol, no, I just don't trade mornings anymore remember focus on US session alone

DOW short 12670, tight stop 81.

I can believe it (I've had enough of discussions with temptrader lol!)

Nice to see everybody so active here! This forum is almost running 24/7. Thanks for contributing Soultrader, how refreshing compared to our previous site manager who didn't seem interested in 'trading'!

Do you make anything of the fact that those highs do not correspond to the highs of the trading range on the 21th on the ES and the YM, but to the lows of the 21st and 22nd? Or does it just mean that the NQ is the strongest market (which seems to be the case for some time now).

yes oil has been volatile, so I've heard well done :applaud:

Today hasn't exactly been of much interest neither! Stuck in 50-point range on the DOW.

I never paid much attention to round numbers per se... but then again 450 was nice yesterday. Ah someone noticed my revised 'tight stop' strategy Yes, I put my stops closer than 20 points now. Primarily because I only take the entry if I can get it where I want it. If not, I usually skip the trade. Otoh, I must be careful not getting stopped out for 1 or 2 ticks. Another reason is that lately there have been more 100-150 point range days than 300-400 that we had couple of weeks ago. That warrants a tighter stop imo, volatility has cooled down a bit.

It looks like we took a small 'detour' back to 560-570... but we still have 2 hours left before the finish line! price seems stuck between 510-570 though

good call, but what's so special about 500 that I'm not seeing?

out -1.50.

looks like small hinge is forming

wow I didn't realize it was that volatile lately the papers were all over it when it dropped 4$, they only just got their articles printed :o

NQ short 1990, stop 1991.50.

looks like that was dreaming, sudden spike up, and stopped out other half +37

Not everyone can be glued to the screen like some of us (ey, wasp!)

stop moved to 530, aiming at second target 465... things don't usually go in a straight line so I think this could be a long wait (lunchtime!).
