... but with all you guys taking longs, I can't help feeling you are paddling against a very strong flow.

 

It just hit my short target from yesterday though... (560)... still contemplating holding overnight!

 

Good trading all.

Long dow fut 564 stop 545 limit 615

[postman 10]

Long dow fut 564 stop 545 limit 615

 

Looks like the 555 support from early april is holding in a very weak pre market.

higher low and higher highs since 11:40 plus re entry into up trend from 9:30

 

lets hope we can move far enough from this low to absorb any bad news on housing.

just in time ... I managed to close between your long open and that 8pt drop.

 

Hope it carries on up for you though.

scaled out at 582 - rest at 559

[firewalker 10]

DOW short 12570, stop 80.

 

out -10.......

[firewalker 10]

DOW short 12570, stop 80.

 

<-- this is not a duplicate, I'm shorting again at the same level

 

I think I might have been victim of stops been taken out...

 

Or, more correctly setting a too tight a stop :crap: it probably needed some more breathing space for the market to open

[smbtnt 10]

scaled out at 582 - rest at 559

 

All out, now looking for short entry

[smbtnt 10]

oops, missed the cream....

[firewalker 10]

oops, missed the cream....

 

It can be difficult to pinpoint the exact entry... too early means wider stop, too late is chasing price... you saw what happened to my first short. Practice makes perfect, but I definitely need some improving on that matter too.

 

Existing Home Sales in 5 min though...

[smbtnt 10]

yeah had a limit at 570 but she went to 568 on the pullback and broke support, I generally do not enter on break out so stood aside.

[Foale 10]

Stopped out dow at 20 -28
