[09:27] gm Ghost, Marketedge [09:27] gm Nihaba [09:28] GM Nihaba [09:28] gm Niha [09:40] 0,4 Shorts ES @ 937.50 -> small size  [09:41] Aggressive entry prior to the candlestick completing its interval. [09:42] good afternoon [09:42] I see a hesitating doji on my 15 min chart [09:42] I'm using the 3min all session chart for this trade. [09:42] 0,3 covered 2/3 Short: 926.75 --> + 10.75  [09:43] sorry... [09:43] :) [09:43] 0,4 Shorts ES @ 936  [09:43] 0,3 covered 2/3 Short: 936.75 --> + 0.75  [09:43] :) [09:43] nearing the overnight low in the ES [09:43] Will sit on the remainder for a little bit as I re-adjust my profit targets. [09:44] Will cover 3 more contracts and hold 1 as a remainder for a bigger move (hopefully). [09:45] 8,4 >>> 8,2 Leading Indicators @ 10:00 EST 8,4 <<< 1,0 [09:46] new LOD [09:46] 0,3 covered Short: 935.25 --> + 2.25  [09:46] nice trade Niha :) [09:46] yep [09:46] Still holding 1 contract. [09:47] 0,6 exit stop set ES @ 937.00  [09:49] I got my fingers crossed the remainder will survive any possible bump up that leads into the 10am est numbers. [09:51] * FutureFuturesTrader is long and hoping for a very nice bump up :D [09:51] I need for this counter-thrust to fail for my remainder to survive without getting stopped out for a smaller profit. [09:53] Punks. [09:53] 0,2 stop hit ES @ 937.00 --> + 0.5  [09:54] Wow, it bounced right off your stop :( [09:54] I won't re-enter until I get a trade signal after the report release...sitting on the sidelines and will watch for awhile. [09:54] FFT...same old story...they know where I put my stops at :( [09:54] 8,4 REMINDER > 8,2 Leading Indicators @ 10:00 EST 8,4 < REMINDER 1,0 [09:55] 0,4 Shorts ES @ 936.25  [09:55] it's risky [09:57] 0,2 Covered 1/2 Short ES at 935.25 --> + 1  [09:58] HPete...you caught that counter-thrust failure very nicely. [09:59] thanks...I am a bit lucky with this one :) [09:59] That's a very tough trade to do with 10am est numbers sitting around the corner. [09:59] I may do a 1 contract Long if I get a confirmation signal... [09:59] using a close stop [10:01] 0,3 Buys ES @ 935.00  [10:02] 0,2 Covered remainder Short ES at 935 --> + 1.25  [10:02] nice trade, Pete [10:02] thx :) [10:02] Nice job everybody [10:02] 1min all session chart for this trade and will exit it soon.

[10:12] yes [10:12] ratso...are you using mIRC as a standalone or the mIRC thats embedded into eSignal ? [10:13] standalone [10:13] Have you tried or is it possible to install the trade posting script into mIRC that's embedded into eSignal ? [10:15] I haven't tried [10:15] I was wondering if eSignal has a folder called mIRC within its own directory folder for users of eSignal. [10:16] If so...than its possible to input the script that way... [10:17] ce02, Surfeur, SwingT and Wulfer1...needs to do a TEST post... [10:17] so that we know they have properly installed the trade posting script. [10:17] 0,4 Shorts ES @ 930.5 4,0 «« testing »»  [10:17] Thanks swingT.
