NQ closed out at +36 ticks Obviously I left a lot on the table max profit about +72 ... I hope someone else caught the move.

 

A nice trade nonetheless - we typically have seen very few day traders land more than a handful of ticks here, and it is nice to see your success. 36 ticks on the ES would be 9 points - how many day traders have never once had such a profit on a trade. I'd bet many more have taken 36 tick losses than have ever taken a 36 tick profit.

 

Best Wishes,

OK I'll bite Long 6E 1.3125

 

SL 20 ticks

 

Not sure about PT

 

Filled at 1.3124

 

Update: New high on bar moving stop to BE -5

 

SL moved to -3

 

No new high SL moved to -1

 

I guess the good news is that I saved 19 ticks by aggressively managing my SL :)

 

Update Stopped out -1

6E "3 pushes to a bottom?!" Opinions?...

 

Not much loss of momentum on each successive new low, so I myself wouldn't view this as a "three push" pattern. That doesn't mean that a bounce is not immanent. But you asked for opinions, and my opinion is that 6E is perhaps mopping up the first of two or three lows before a significant bounce materializes. Of course, that is my opinion, and you know what they say about opinions.

 

In the end, the highs and lows will lead the way ...

 

Best Wishes,

added at 1.3322 and 1.3202 ...

 

That rally reduced an otherwise nice run to a small profit - +22, +12, +0, -10 respectively ...

 

We'll see what happens as EURUSD aproaches the HOD near the open ...

Hi Folks,

 

Time is running out to get our guesses in for TL's "Guess the Close Contest." We need 50 people to make the contest a go - and here we have 376 visitors today alone, and I know that this thread has had several thousand page views in the last week without hardly any new activity, so TL has many eyeballs but too few willing to "pull the trigger."

 

You know what happens to traders who are afraid to pull the trigger ...

As they say, "you gotta be in it to win it ...," and in this case, we need 50 to be in it for anyone to win it.

 

Go to the thread below and get you guesses posted soon!

Best Wishes,

    • 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.
