So far this morning I've taken like 15 trades premarket and am currently down a net 483 YM points!! YAY! Just kidding. I actually just woke up so I've got to get ready and take my morning walk. Just wanted to start the thread.

 

Good trading everyone!

Hello. The spike at 10:00ET coincides with the consumer confidence report.

 

Right. The good old 10 AM news spike. Got to be careful for those. Market couldn't go higher. Now we have a range. I'm looking for breaks above 13545 or below13480. All else is noise to me on YM.

Got one trade so far....

Shorted after the YM came back into its Opening Range and covered half for +12 and half for +22 (are my mechanical targets). Now watching if price could hold at the 13490 area.

9:22CT. Seeing lower low, and possible head and shoulder. Looking for short. Shorted at 9:22CT at 13493 on market order. Stopped out at 13501 at 9:24CT. -8 points. Not a good place to short IMO because of that 13490 pivot point just bellow, or rather, not a good place to short with a tight stop due to the resistance of the pivot point being so close. Also, very poor entry. This was a spur of the moment trade that should not have happened without better planning.

Abe,

 

the short you took was right at the support line at 13490 so it was very risky... Its almost better to wait for a signal than to anticipate it. You could have taken the short at the same level but after the support was penetrated about 10 minutes later with much higher odds of winning. But i know how hard it is to wait for your signals and getting into the market when you could have got in a few points ago... Made the same mistakes over and over again when i began trading futures... :cry:

I got tossed around like a 2 dollar hooker before the 10am news. :cry:

 

Short now from 92.5 and still holding. I at least made back the other losses and now holding....

 

Hey Brownsfan. Nice to see you today. Nicely done by the way.

Covered that short at 83.25 for +9.25.

 

Wow, that was a fun ride. And a much needed one. I was all over the place going into the 10am news - 5 trades for -7.75.

 

Not pretty, but we are up so far for the day.

Nice trade Brownsfan...

Are you still holding?? Do you trail your profits or exit on a buy-signal?

 

Currently holding all trades until a reversal signal confirms, based on the volatility that we have.

Saw the same reversal in the YM but didn't take it because i thougt it is too risky. Would like to see the Gapclose in the YM before looking for long.

Hmmm... the ES and all other markets already closed the Gap.

    • 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.
