[10:43] 7Trader Tip: What's nice about that is if you get a good Short entry...but it starts to go against you with momentum at the Ask...usually a good situation to reverse the trade because traders are buying the Pullbacks. [10:44] Ouuch...sorry about the color...will try a different color for the next Trader Tip. [10:44] good job on that reverse, Niha.. [10:45] I've been in that particular situation TOO MANY times to not reverse and sit and think about the loss from the Short position. [10:46] I've tried reversing positions in other chart patterns...not as reliable as chart patterns like today. [10:46] Meant...other chart patterns aren't reliable for reversing...today's chart pattern...is a good one for reversing.

[13:57] 0,3 Buys ES @ 924.50 [14:09] Have you called TradeStation to find out who their data vendors are? [14:09] Message to szu. [14:10] ill do that..thing is with Tradestation you could be paying anywhere from $50 to $500 Just for emini quotes! [14:16] I would start with the cheapest data vendor... [14:16] if the quotes or data isn't reliable...then move up to the next data vendors. [14:16] Of course...that all depends if the data vendor has "setup fees" or not. [14:24] szubaark: what version of tradestation you use?

[15:23] Such volatility (lots) in the afternoon doesn't happen often. [15:24] you right and trades are much longer then in am. [15:27] let's see if 200eMA will hold [15:31] That's a lot of momentum...if it picks up...could be a 30min sell-off.
