Got my 1414.50 for my last scale...ahead of 1415.25 and CLVN 1416.50... Depending on how we develop if we get rotation to a workable level I will do continuation trades as prev posted BUT..currently this is a one-way trend day... :missy:
-
I have a CHVN @ 13.25 that migh be an obstacle but it has disappeared off my 405m but it probably aligns with your SPY TPO chart
-
As long as we are considering Trend Day potential (ACH) the IBH might be another area to consider for continuation trades - risk though might be at the moment to below 1406 area..so not leaning that way unless a lot of things would align in that area...not a recommendation since I have proven that I am clueless :doh: N: We posted htese together... Great minds think alike... :helloooo:
-
Nah, you do a good job..I think we all do given the nature of the beast.. Most don't have the stones to hang it out there & post win/lose or draw... This thread is the "real deal" imho... N: Good thread...
-
Got my next scale @ 1410.75 in front of NVPOC 1411.75... I am holding a small position now for the 1415.25 area... but I am still going to be looking for continuation longs if we get viable ":haha: SET UPS" (Josh) EDIT: My measuring objective from the archaic bar chart is the 1415.00 area and we have a CLVN 1416.50... that's all I think I know :missy:

GOt it...you're a much better "market dancer" than me.... :rofl:

If we don't rotate back down and take 1404.75 by more than a tick or better not at all over the next half hour then "three in a row and there you go" will be in play.. I would like to see a bit more RE without downward rotation..if so "Possible" trend day-ish setting up..of course I could be into the "poppys" over here since I am touting my positon.. ACH... BTW..now this comment may be premature since we're only 18min into G period but there is a developing micro-lvn @ 1409.00...it might be setting up another balance area... still too early to tell since the MLVN is at IBH ..it is worth keeping an eye on - of course it could fill in...
-
That's It...I can't take this.. I spit coffee on my monitor/// :missy:
-
If this 15m bar closes tall "and" we can get through the current HOD 1408.50 then I would suggest VERY strong to upside... and that 1415 extended target or new HOM possible... I would be out of bullets if that were to happen but I am still going to be playing continuation trades if they set up with worthwhiole targets... Josh: BTW, what did you base your short on? I have MicroLVN 1408.75 but what were you doing there?
-
Added 1405.50 for rotation up... :helloooo: 1405.00 would have been better...sloppy, sloppy :crap: If this is a 15m flag... then close @ 1415.25 is "possible" based on measuring objective ..of course structure could break down... Still goping to scale in front of NVPOC & then hold small balance for externded target: "Hail Mary Pass" - unless structure say something different..ACH..:missy:
-
I am looking for rotation to add 1404.75 is a lv notch currently on th eProfile..so that area "might" be of interest if we get there..for a long... this is initiating behavior imho so and the trend is up so I suspect there is fuel sitting up here... of course this will; probably have rotation at some point...stops are way below us in the inter-day timeframe so if we spend a little time and put a few 15m bars in that would IMHO set up fuel for a downward rotation for stops that would eventuially cluster under there... No guar of course if it will rotate or not march higher... ACH... I'm personally hoping for rotation... esp with that NVPOC up there... Sorry for the crummy typing but am trying to do this quickly and stay focused..

Was late on gwetting long: B.. 1403.00 sc 1/3 1405.25, Target 1408.00 ahead of 3/28 high 1408.75 & final 1410.75 ahead of nvpoc1411.75... I'm a bit sloppy on slightly entries today..a three qyrs to a point is a lot...
-
Got a short off against the NVPOC @ 1402.75, scaled all ahaead of CHVN 98.50, glad I did.. Had downside target potential 94.50 area - not with high confidence but that was the potential. B/E last 1/3... 8.75 & 11.75 up above...

If I Hear "price Action" or "setup" ONE More Time...
roztom replied to joshdance's topic in General Trading
HEY!! Are you referencing when we exchanged contracts? When I was selling my long and you were initiating a short within a tick of each other??? :rofl: -
Welllllll...that little foray into the jungle did not end well... fortunately, since I typically don't let one sit overnight it was not too annoying.. I did get one scale off to reduce risk then had my target so the outcome was basically revenue neutral. Still I was dreaming about VPOC's so it is never worth it to me... and I didn't expect to see this sell off so there you go...

Globex Sunday 4.1.12. It is always interesting to see the levels which you were targeting for Friday before coming into to play after the weekend. I went long 1408.50 and am targeting 1411.00 ahead of 1411.75 NVPOC. Friday looked very tall in the saddle to me... See you Monday morning..

Likewise Laurus.. I have learned more on this thread then from all the Trading Psych books I have read over the years combined. In fact, I am waiting for my book order to come in.. I am going to look into Zen from a non-trading angle and also read one of the other ones that is trading oriented... It is not like I expect radical insights but If I can find a way to calm myself so things can stay clear or I can better "declutter" my mind then that is a wothwhile outcome. Over the years I have certainly struggled with the emotions and all the self-talk and impulse behaviors that trip us up along the way... I am enthusiastic to see if I can teach myself (referencing an old dog) some new tricks. There are so many variables around one's state of mind when trading..We are not in consistent places psycologically on a day to day basis, IMHO. Everyday has it's own "drama." One thing relative to our dialogue here will be to see if it is truly possible to tap into the higher-level "awareness" on a consistent basis.. One question, assuming I (we) will never be Zen Trading Masters is to be able to recognize when we are getting those flashes of intuition or "unconscious competence" and then be confident to act upon them. Many times I open a chart and as soon as it comes up I know "exactly" what to do. No pondering, no thought, .. just grab the Mouse and click... in a flash... There is no time for conscious self-chatter or deliberation. It is a "go with" event.. Of course, the converse is when I am very "conscious," things are somewhat nebulous and then I "analyze" from different perspectives... One thing I do recognize and I trust I'm not alone on this, is that there are times when my brain says "go long, no short, no long"... As soon as I have a conflict like that, I just stop and have the brillant insight to acknowledge that the market can go either way and may be at a decision point... In some ways my indecisiveness is a reflection of the markets indecisiveness. It just took me a while to figure out what that meant: "Stop, Look & Listen"...like at a railroad crossing so you don't get hit by a train.. :doh: I hope we can continue to explore this area and expand our understanding of it. I believe there is "genius" trapped in those of us who have mastered the skills to become "consciously competent." While it will be forever a work in progress we also have captured skills that might be able to be called upon from a much higher integrated skill level. That "unconscious competent" if actually a recognizable, consistent experience might very well allow us to occasionally reach a much higher level of performance as well as calm... This is a VERY exciting possibility...

Got out 1404.00 still GRRR... thought they'd get the stops above but they had a different playbook today... :helloooo: Have a Great Weekend..
-

-
What I like about TL's is if you don't like them you can move them... :rofl:
-
I kept looking for the enemy bt it was ALWAYS me...:crap: I figured I finally got the answer to that one... Holding long 1403.00 stop on balance..looks like dung... I am flat ...enough drama already... I'm still will to bet (not in the market) that we make new highs after cash close but I am done and not going to wait to find out. .
-
Figures: Now it rotates... 1403.00 good number 1402.00 better, GRRR... holding...
-
Nicely done... Well, I added @ 5.00 not crazy about it but everything here "suggests" 08.00ish is in the cards so I am going to unload most there and hold for Hail Mary pass 1411.00... but ACH... :helloooo:
-
Agree with that...it really depends how long this will take to get going on the upside... & if they flush it ... Obviously if it doesn't get going it will break as longs bail... I'm not saying it will... If for some reason we don't get going - then I would expect a flush and then a rally to potential targets above after the cash close...subject to what happens here , of course..that is just one scenario... Personlly I'd prefer to see "some" rotation and just a blast off... but ACH. Actually under 02 is the area I was looking for ...

"Feelings" - you mean "emotions" ? YOu should visit N's new thread on emotions and throw your 2ct in there... I am waiting on this thing... don't know how they can leave the 1408.00 up there... Aside from your stop..I am still "hoping" for a rotation but I would be suprised if it happens given that there haven't been any for quite a while... :missy:
