-250 on YM is hardly a catastrophe these days, Wasp. Better widen that to -1000!

Bleedin' catastrophe to me! :o

Just got back to see I have been filled short at 11300, my exit was at 255, unfortunately it did not hit, I have had to move my stop to 310 now, any spike now and I am shafted....

Lucky, all out now waiting for the open...

[Phil Mibbutz 10]

11300-ish is certainly a key level. Tend to think it'll hit 350 before going down much, though.

350 would have been a great entry...

Thats nearly 900 ponts without reversing...

where do the experienced emini intraday traders stand on this?

surely a significant move down is due to produce the higher low??

Nice one!

Do I hate it when it does this, clean as a bell premarket and we fall 200 pips in the 1st 5 minutes of the open...

Now trading premarket is a viable alternative for me...

[wasp 10]

Nice couple of trades there Brutus!

[wasp 10]

Thats 2 of you here that used to be FX traders (I remembered your spar pic brutus!)

 

How comes you guys swapped over? Volume? or.............?

[brutusdog 10]

good memory wasp!

 

in my case always done both, maily cable and dow. dow is my main now as i can get a few solid hours in each night.

 

the onset of full time trading will see me exploring fx again, probably just the main ones and on a larger t/f than im operating on now. great work on the 1000 pip btw well done....probably makes the events of earlier in the week seem distant now. you still taking a break?

[wasp 10]

Still in 2 minds... That earlier event still bugs me!

 

I want the break but I also have a goal this year which I haven't reached as yet. I really should reach it in order for next year to be ideal from day 1 but may just take a week or two of then try and finish up pre December if I can.

 

I think swinging FX is a great idea. Have this discussion with FW a lot and why he wouldn't swing but I do is the 24hr market (no gaps except weekends) so it smooths FX out so nicely that you really can just ride it constantly like you were on a rollercoaster.

[brutusdog 10]

that was exactly my thinking, have something ticking over on fx while playing the indicies intra day. will have to get more monitors though! 2 is only just enough as it is.

lol! I was actually contemplating trading US Stocks whilst FX ran in the background but don't want to over stress my poor brain!
