7/30/07 General Trade Log / Idea Sharing

Recommended Posts

Well, it seems like there's some interest in a daily thread to discuss setups, ideas, etc. based on this thread - http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/f17/trading-room-2116.html

 

So, here's a thread for Monday, July 30th. Someone will just need to start the thread each day and we'll build it from there.

 

If you have some analysis to share for Monday, feel free to! Or post during the day on Monday as time permits!

 

Good trading everyone!

ES price action still lively to say the least.

 

So far, I've got 8 trades, 4 winners, 4 losers. Up +1.12 net thus far. One frustrating loss on a long at 68.5 that was ticked out and is now proceeding higher. I hate ones like that! :mad:

 

This is good stuff though if you like instant gratification - either you are right or wrong and you will find out pretty quickly.

 

One observation - check your ES dom. Earlier today the actual depth that was shown on the dom was pretty light in my opinion (less than 1000 at each level). It was very erratic during this time. Now there's some more volume present at each level.

Anyone know if there's a way to set this thread to auto-refresh in your browser window? If we can get this active, I'd love to just have Firefox refresh this on it's own vs. me doing it.

 

Any ideas either through TL and/or Firefox?

Short @ 71.5 on the ES. Now just waiting to see if this consolidation area busts up or down. Keeps going back and forth.

 

Got a good break to the downside here. Price at 65.5 and I'll be looking to remain short if the bears can keep the pressure on. May look for a buy if not.

gc - how did you miss the 2 entries? Just curious as I miss them too and wish I would not!!

 

Hesitation and being too cheap are my primary reasons. I generally get in on pullbacks, so I often wait too long for confirmation and miss the good price, then I hesitate. I've pretty much eliminated the chasing that case occur, but its hard to know when your are chasing and when you are just not being too cheap.

Hopefully it's available via James, as for instance, when you check the "Who's Online" feature, that page updates every minute or so. So maybe he could extend that feature to this forum.

No edit button on this sub forum for some reason. :sad: My last sentence should read: I've pretty much eliminated the overt chasing that can occur, but it's hard to know when your are chasing and when you are just being too cheap.

Interesting. I've never viewed it as being 'too cheap'. That's an interesting comment. I guess I view each trade as the same 'cost' so I just take 'em when I see 'em (most of the time). ;)

If you have Firefox and the Tab Mix Plus extension installed, you should have to capability to auto-refresh any page at any interval yourself.

I use limit orders for entries, so sometimes it doesn't hit my order.

 

There's a flexibility I need to develop which is somewhere between being too strict about my entry and chasing.

 

As for trades. One stopout and now looking for break of support to new lows. ;)

Price has gotten really funky for me late morning. I'm sitting tight with my profits right now. I'm at what is my daily goal and don't feel like risking it in a choppy ass market.

 

And before you get on me about the daily goal.... ;) .... I do keep a target in mind for what I want to achieve each day. If I get to it early on, then I know I've got a great chance to make more money cause I have a nice cookie jar at my disposal. If the money's there for the taking, I say take it!

Back on this short train at 65.00. We'll see if the bears can take this down or not. Looks like volatility is drying up a tad as everyone takes a little breather here. Bulls sure are trying though - large upper shadows/wicks on the 3 minute.

    • It depends. If you have lots of money that you can buy a house without a loan and if you don't have any parents to sponsor then it is a good idea. Otherwise it might be a bad idea depending where in Canada you are heading to. I earned a good middle income in my home country and I migrated to Vancouver 5 years ago at the age of 35. I had to start right from the bottom, lowest of the low.. Now i am finally earning a middle income in Canada but I still cannot afford to buy a one bedroom apartment. Having left behind friends, family and home, most of the times I think it is not worth it.   In short, do not migrate if you already have a good life in your home country and you are happy. Only migrate to Canada if you really have to leave your home country say there is a war or something really bad. Discrimination still exists here and its really tough for newcomers unless you are super rich. Good luck. David Chong, Quora  
    • This is bigger than the internet. Bigger than mobile. Bigger than social media.   While everyone was distracted by stock market fluctuations and political theater…   Most people have NO IDEA what just happened last week with ChatGPT.   Their new memory feature allows ChatGPT to remember EVERYTHING about you across all your conversations.   Think about that for a minute...   While most tech companies have been collecting mere breadcrumbs about you - your likes, your clicks, your browsing history - OpenAI is now collecting the most valuable dataset in human history: your complete psychological profile.   This is Zuckerberg x 5,000.   The more you use ChatGPT, the more it understands you, becoming a supercharged reflection of yourself that improves at an exponential rate.   Are you a regular ChatGPT user?   Consider whether it’s time to turn off the “you can train on my information” feature. To prevent your data from being used for training while still using the memory feature:   Disable Model Training: Navigate to Settings > Data Controls. Toggle off "Improve the model for everyone". Manage Memory Settings: Go to Settings > Personalization > Memory. Here, you can: Turn off memory entirely. Delete specific memories. Use Temporary Chat for sessions that won't be saved or used for training. Now the investment implications…   Why This is Bigger Than You Think Consider this: the relationship between humans and ChatGPT is evolving beyond a mere tool.   People are now treating these AI assistants as friends, confidants, and even romantic partners.   I'm not making this up - there are already documented cases of people ending real human relationships to pursue “connections” with their AI companions.   A viral Instagram meme shows a person going through life with a glowing, featureless humanoid figure - representing ChatGPT - as their companion.   The post has over 1.1 million likes and comments like "Bro ChatGPT is like my best friend. Ain't even ashamed to say it" with 25,000 likes.   But here's where things get really interesting for investors and entrepreneurs...   Three Things to Watch For starters, hardware is the next big thing for the big players.   The iPhone form factor is dead.   It hasn't meaningfully changed in nearly a decade. The next evolution in hardware will be designed specifically to interface with these AI companions.   OpenAI is already working on hardware with Johnny Ive, the legendary designer behind the iPhone and iPod. But you can’t ignore Elon Musk’s edge here.   So what does all of this mean for you?   The companies that control the personal AI relationships will be worth trillions. OpenAI and Elon Musk will have the coziest moats. We're witnessing the birth of a new internet - one built on agents that can communicate with each other across platforms. Google's new agent-to-agent protocol allows AI agents to work together without sharing internal memories or tools. The hardware companies that create the perfect interface for these AI companions will dominate the next decade of technology. And almost nobody is talking about what this means.   My prediction? Within five years, most people will have a personal AI that knows them better than anyone else. And they will interact with it in ways that seem foreign today.   (And, yes, it will almost certainly have dystopian elements.)   In the meantime, the biggest gains won’t come from household names. And, right now, James is seeing a prime opportunity to invest in the most under-the-radar plays in AI…   For dirt cheap. By Chris C.
