<coolweb> not much left to go up IMO

won't go down either , chop city

<PapaJon> jeeze louise... keeps on pushin.. amzing 11:11

<jbraswell> why do you think that, cool?

<coolweb> jbraswell: which part? the chop? 11:13

<danshirley> .. 11:15

* NihabaAshi sets mode: +v danshirley

<jbraswell> yes

<coolweb> all indexes are now up 1.2% (nasdaq) .91% (S&P) , .82% (INDU) , how much percentage it has left, max like .25% S&P .1% nasdaq, dowjones .4% so reward isn't that good, but i don't know what you are risking so.. 11:19

the people putting on positions right now, either already have positions grandfathered earlier, to not care about the chop 11:20

or are people just trying to get on the ride, but players won't let you get on the ride easily

thats just my thought process though :) you may have a different one 11:21

<danshirley> europe hs had a good day and is closing way up

<jbraswell> well, you may well be right. i'll stop out a little below 1259.50. 11:23

<coolweb> personally, I don't know where the market is going at any time, I just think in probabilities, market is random many of the times, it may go up for you, I dunno, but I wouldn't bet the farm 11:24

<szubaark_> Slow, controlled upmove with no entry to get in LOL 13:08

<coolweb> waiting for the PSP :) who has one 13:15

this rally just rallied straight back into chop zone :) all good 13:16

<eminitrader> PSP ? 13:17

is it ESP !

<coolweb> Sony PSP :) hehe 13:18

<eminitrader> lol

<jbraswell> Exited all ES Long @ 1265.75 --> + 2.75

Long ER2 @ 690.50

<eminitrader> u got patience jb nice one 13:19

<jbraswell> yeah, but I may have made a bad swith to er2 13:20

saw a setup there, and since it's been stronger these past few days, figured I'd switch my exposure

<eminitrader> have a tight stop ..switch back to ES :))

<jbraswell> yeah, i'll dump at 689.40 13:21

i find that my trading is like the january effect. If the first trade of the day is a loser, I usually end the day down. If first trade winner, I usually end up. 13:23

don't know if it's psychological, or the nature of the day versus my methods.

<eminitrader> me says purely pyschological 13:24

<jbraswell> yeah, I think that's more likely

<eminitrader> used to happen to me too..but like niha says i prefer to have my losers in the am than the pm 13:25

<jbraswell> why? do you find the afternoon moves faster? 13:26

(damn, and there goes ES leading ER2 now)

looking for 691.80 on er2 13:27

Exited all ER2 Long @ 691.20 --> + 0.7 13:37

* WannaBeBOS is now known as BOS-break

<jbraswell> perhaps too quick, but I was just informed we're at ER2 high

probably silly to put my target 6 ticks above that

<eminitrader> back now..no its just that it makes it easier to get back the losses 13:41

<danshirley> think they've swept all the stops yet? 13:45

<eminitrader> the shorts ? 13:47

<jbraswell> well, they certainly swept mine 13:50

<eminitrader> swing trade ?

<danshirley> given the daily chart as of yesterday afternoon there were bound to be a boodle of stops beween 1700 and 1710 on the NQ for example. It was just too tempting not to sweep them 13:52

<jbraswell> no, I just meant from this morning, joking 13:53

<danshirley> theyv'e moslt been triggered..but could be some more

mostly

<jbraswell> i'm not sure what to do here. Looks like I should jump back long

<X> #FuturesTrades Info -> This room is only for Trade Posting (real or paper) and/or discussions about a posted trade or key market events that could affect a trader's open trade position. LURKING not allowed..strictly enforced.

<jbraswell> but I might just wait it out. I've pared my losses from this morning pretty well so far 13:55

<eminitrader> Long ES @ 1265.75 14:01

<jbraswell> Long ER2 @ 690.60 14:10

<coolweb> Shorts NQ @ 10937 14:11

out of curiosity, emini, when you were long about an hour ago, what made you reverse and go short? 15:24

<eminitrader> basically taking too long to move thought the buyers were drying up..no setup just a hunch 15:33

	won't go down either , chop city
<PapaJon>	jeeze louise... keeps on pushin.. amzing	11:11
<jbraswell>	why do you think that, cool?
<coolweb>	jbraswell: which part? the chop?	11:13
<danshirley>	..	11:15
* NihabaAshi	sets mode: +v danshirley
<jbraswell>	yes
<coolweb>	all indexes are now up 1.2% (nasdaq) .91% (S&P) , .82% (INDU) , how much percentage it has left, max like .25% S&P .1% nasdaq, dowjones .4% so reward isn't that good, but i don't know what you are risking so..	11:19
	the people putting on positions right now, either already have positions grandfathered earlier, to not care about the chop	11:20
	or are people just trying to get on the ride, but players won't let you get on the ride easily
	thats just my thought process though :) you may have a different one	11:21
<danshirley>	europe hs had a good day and is closing way up
<jbraswell>	well, you may well be right. i'll stop out a little below 1259.50.	11:23
<coolweb>	personally, I don't know where the market is going at any time, I just think in probabilities, market is random many of the times, it may go up for you, I dunno, but I wouldn't bet the farm	11:24

<jbraswell>	Exited all ES Long @ 1265.75 --> + 2.75
	Long ER2 @ 690.50
<eminitrader>	u got patience jb nice one	13:19
<jbraswell>	yeah, but I may have made a bad swith to er2	13:20
	saw a setup there, and since it's been stronger these past few days, figured I'd switch my exposure
<eminitrader>	have a tight stop ..switch back to ES :))
<jbraswell>	yeah, i'll dump at 689.40	13:21
	i find that my trading is like the january effect. If the first trade of the day is a loser, I usually end the day down. If first trade winner, I usually end up.	13:23
	don't know if it's psychological, or the nature of the day versus my methods.
<eminitrader>	me says purely pyschological	13:24
<jbraswell>	yeah, I think that's more likely
<eminitrader>	used to happen to me too..but like niha says i prefer to have my losers in the am than the pm	13:25
<jbraswell>	why? do you find the afternoon moves faster?	13:26
	(damn, and there goes ES leading ER2 now)
	looking for 691.80 on er2	13:27
	Exited all ER2 Long @ 691.20 --> + 0.7	13:37
* WannaBeBOS	is now known as BOS-break
<jbraswell>	perhaps too quick, but I was just informed we're at ER2 high
	probably silly to put my target 6 ticks above that
<eminitrader>	back now..no its just that it makes it easier to get back the losses	13:41
<danshirley>	think they've swept all the stops yet?	13:45
<eminitrader>	the shorts ?	13:47
<jbraswell>	well, they certainly swept mine	13:50
<eminitrader>	swing trade ?
<danshirley>	given the daily chart as of yesterday afternoon there were bound to be a boodle of stops beween 1700 and 1710 on the NQ for example. It was just too tempting not to sweep them	13:52
<jbraswell>	no, I just meant from this morning, joking	13:53
<danshirley>	theyv'e moslt been triggered..but could be some more
	mostly
<jbraswell>	i'm not sure what to do here. Looks like I should jump back long

	out of curiosity, emini, when you were long about an hour ago, what made you reverse and go short?	15:24
<eminitrader>	basically taking too long to move thought the buyers were drying up..no setup just a hunch	15:33
