Someone once told me to stop "middling" in other people's business...oh, wait...that was "meddling"...never mind... :rofl:
-
Hmmm...to quote Meredith Brooks, I'm your hell, I'm your dream I'm nothing in between You know you wouldn't want it Any other way... That's what I think the ES is...

N, Thanks. For comparison, could you post the profile which includes after-hours data? CYP

Tom lives on the hill and does not want to be associated with the serfs in the valley. :haha:
-
Did you mean 1375.50 for session range low?
-
Josh - hope you reversed as planned, as we're sitting at the 70 level. I got beat up trying to short at the 65 level... CYP
-
Yes...nice stairway for sure....especially since I've been on the "highway to hell" the last few days...
-
Tom - you old dog! You weren't only enjoying the ocean scenery, but you were also watching the "mountains"... .
-
True..true...volume so light today. I have position from 78 and holding until 83. Predicting late day rally coming up so don't short on me yet (...vice the other 'sh' word...)... ...but just in case, exit strategy always in place...
-
Great summary of your thinking Josh...takes time to digest and spit this stuff out, but it sure gives a good glimpse of what's going thru a trader's mind during a trading session. This is much more detailed than my "throw a dart at the graph" approach...:crap: CYP

YMMV?? Years Make Me Valuable? Yaks Make Many Volumes? Help me out here Tom...

Your thoughts are what make this thread more interesting than the others. As long as it doesn't interfere too much with your trading, keep posting. I definitely appreciate the banter and market insights. I find it hard to do both unless there's a nice lull in the action. If we rotate up from here (90-91 level), that's great...but I was also thinking about the 87/88 levels based upon the past charts (which you graciously posted). If I had more bullets, I'd add on, but right now I'm just waiting for either the rotation back up or until my mental SL is hit. Bought at 93...so my pain threshold is near its peak... CYP

Speaking of easing and accomodation, I wish this market would accomodate and ease up on me... I keep on getting hit on the blind-side so many times, I get scared to look sometimes... So who's got the over/under for after the FOMC meeting? I could probably use that number... CYP

So I'm sim-trading the AUD.USD and still trying to figure out patterns of this currency pair. My question is, if Australia cuts interest rates by 50-75 basis points, we should expect to see a rise in the AUD.USD pair, correct? Or do I have this backwards? Any help on this silly question would be appreciated. Still learning, CYP

I'm definitely lurking today -- I'm in Josh's camp with my mind thinking of something else but still wanting to be involved with the Market. That's a sure sign that I should have gotten out 4 hours ago. Interested to see how the day will end as we approach the final hour. CYP

Everyone...come on and join the "Hail Mary" project!! Heck, Hail Susan or Jane, for all I care...just press the GREEN button...(be advised that I have no feelings/emotion tied to this... ) [ In fact, no animals were harmed in the typing of this post...] Tom - when did you change your tag line? You got tired of finding out who the enemy was? :rofl: CYP
-
I know the feeling all too well... I was thinking that if we kept going towards the 96 level, then it would turn into a negative day, but it hung around the 97 level and started creeping back up. That's when I jumped on. My thinking for the rest of the day includes Josh and N's ideas about finishing the week on a high note, so I have a bullish-bias...but then again, all it takes is one crisis event to toss all of that out the window...ACH (is that trademarked by Josh?) CYP
-
A little late, but I jumped in at 98.25. Scaled at 1403 and just waiting to see what the remaining 2 contracts will get me. Happy with my day so far...
-
Absolutely! Instituations building up the year end bonus-account early...
-
Tom - I have 2 contracts left to ride to that magical 1408!!!
-
Josh - I'm liking how you're flowing with the market, catching the waves as they come. Keep it up!!
-
Yep -- got 95 and holding on for dear life...
-
Tom - not sure it's a really good reason, but I chose 1400, based on the past trend of how hard it was to get above 1400. I suppose I'm trying some psychology here, so we'll see. I imagine if we break below 1400, then we'll see the levels you and Josh are speaking of. However, if we stay above the 1400 level, then my 8-ball says we'll make our way back up towards the 1407-08 level for the afternoon. My stops are in place and I am prepared to change my mind if the market says so... For now, I covered at 1400 and switched ... can I borrow your helmet? CYP Update: Psychology out the window sold for -1.5 pt loss and now watching...
-
Covered half at 1403. Holding rest for about another 15 minutes before re-evaluating. Shooting for 1400, then plan to get long...
