[11:18] SMH plus on the day so far and TRIN ain't climbin [11:21] ES is back to where it was (equilibrium) before the the news on FORD hit the market :( [11:21] INTC back to green--sure looks like a big block went of erroneously [11:21] 0,3 Long YM @ 10295 [11:22] 0,2 Covered all YM Short @ 10306 --> + 1 [11:22] Punks [11:22] If I don't get an ADD signal here...I'll reverse into a Long.

[12:39] Post it anywhere near the top and I'll copy it and put it in the private message for the script and somewhere else where it can't be missed. [12:40] k [12:41] Market hit a pt1 on that drop and there hasn't been much follow-through to a pt2 (further down)...reason why I ADDED to my Long. [12:41] Meant...its been reversing all day without hitting a pt2 in this range. [12:42] i cant recall ever seeing you put on a position like this niha [12:42] Yes...I did it yesterday but not to this extent and once before a few weeks ago... [12:43] I start via 1 contract and start ADDING at specific spots... [12:43] Instead of doing my normal size. [12:44] guts man [12:44] The goal is that one of the ADDS I want points...not ticks... [12:44] you must know something :) [12:44] The rest of the ADDs I'm just looking for ticks. [12:44] ok [12:45] I only do this via some sort'uv "unusua" news event. [12:46] FORD was the catalyst today...yesterday it was the White House FlyOver. [12:46] yeah [12:46] no surprise on the automakers [12:46] they have stunk for years [12:47] Just trying something new...trying to build up a position and catch a big mover...if not...I get out for ticks. [12:47] I tried it before a few weeks ago via using tight stops...I got hammered. [12:47] Now I'm doing it with wide stops...a little better success (profitable). [12:48] intersting to watch for sure [12:50] I've been watching someone else do this... [12:50] Most of the time he does 25 YM contracts... [12:50] But once in awhile...he'll go into YM with 1 contract... [12:51] hmm [12:51] Keep adding at trade signals and looking for ticks until he builds up to the 25 contracts or until he catches a big mover. [12:51] i hope we get a run [12:51] 1,4 #FuturesTrades Info -> 8,2 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. [12:52] * WannaBeATrader is now known as WBAT-bbs [12:52] interesting to see how you will manage the trade [12:53] I'm profitable for the day but I still haven't caught a big mover. [12:53] In that sense...hasn't been too bad of a trading day after calling it quits and then taking a short mental break and returning. [12:54] thats what i am about to do [12:55] 0,2 Exited Remainder ES Long @ 1171.50 --> + 1.25 [12:56] Not exactly correct...there's a few in there at +0.75 and +0.50 that weren't +1.25 [12:58] Back at that 1171.50 equilibrium areas based on candlestick s/r levels...reason why I've been either taking profits near it or trying to do ADDS near it. [13:01] If I can get a trade signal near that price (1171.50)...hoping to ride a Long up to 1175.25 or a Short down to 1167.50 [13:09] By the way...I'm a long term stock holder in FORD :( [13:09] Have been since the early 80's [13:11] So is my entire family...will probably get a phone call tonight from siblings :) [13:13] We all dumped about 75% of our holdings in early May of 2000 after I saw the Bearish H&S pattern forming on the monthly chart. [13:13] Family has given me a lot of respect since :) [13:14] you deserve it ! [13:16] I think selling anything in the late part of 1999 or early 2000 was a good move especially as the bubble bursted. [13:20] Not for the ones, newbye to the market, that invested for the first time around that time [13:24] during that time period remember everyday going to work and the guys were all talking about how much their 401 k's were making [13:25] yes [13:29] Bye Bye [13:33] * WBAT-bbs is now known as WannaBeATrader [13:36] zoom...I remember very well...it was a tough time mentally... [13:36] I was doing a ton of shorting while knowing how my investments were performing. [13:37] For awhile there I con myself into thinking I was doing some sort'uv hedging to protect my investments. [13:37] Finally around May and June of 2000...I started dumping a large part of my portfolio...mainly out of fear. [13:38] Then I started hearing all my friends say...all the way down to the summer of 2001 how it was a good time to buy something for cheap. [13:39] I bought up a bunch of investment grade preferreds which were beaten down , yielding 11% or 12% [13:40] You still have them ? [13:41] I wish :( [13:41] sold em to soon , made some good profits anyway [13:44] I had a Sell signal but with this consolidation and scary candles i DID NOT take it. [13:44] Makes me wonder if that was their point before the drop. [13:45] i had one too at YM 10277 but price moved through so fast I missed it [13:45] TLT these bastids are sneaky [13:45] szubaark...I was taking a mental break when my sell signal appeared around 1:15pm est [13:46] i'll short if we will move up a few more tics [13:46] Just told myself it'll probably give me a few ticks and nothing more...so I stayed on the sidelines :( [13:47] Since the FOMC announcement...this market has definetly caused me to work harder :( [13:48] I've tried everything...my normal stuff...new stuff...chasing...early entries...early exits...holding longer...still hard work...profits haven't been easy to get. [13:50] got that right [13:50] niha.. do you feel this is quite unusual or is this the type of mkt action that starts occuring more and more as we near summer? [13:51] More and more as we near the summer. [13:52] It's a problematic area for me...I tend to have more "intuition" trades out of frustration that my best signals are appearing a lot less. [13:52] 0,4 Shorts YM @ 10266 [13:53] Last summer was a blessing...I had purchased a new house and was busy with that...didn't trade a lot. [13:54] I plan on taking a lot of trading days off from the market this summer also...vacations and home projects. [13:55] Niha, Congratulations, not many trades can say that. [13:55] Which part ? [13:55] :) [13:56] I probobly wont see any vacations in next 10 years! [13:56] why, u a workaholic? :) [13:56] Well...I travel a few times per year to see close friends or relatives... [13:56] I don't call that vacations. [13:57] This summer will be my first real vacation in many many years. [13:58] Spouse wants to go to Disney World (for the toddler) and then go to Cancun. [13:58] She also wants to travel the middle east...I told her she's nuts. [13:59] Yeah, you gonna need some bodyguards [13:59] We'll get kidnapped and then beheaded. [13:59] Toddler will be ok...he can cry his way out of anything :) [13:59] We're heading up to the mountains on Saturday - be gone for a week. [14:00] My spouse is downstairs packing up stuff for the trip, making a racket :) [14:00] Envy :( [14:00] Gonna be a week of campfires, trout fishing and lots of hiking. Can't wait. [14:01] I tell ya, trading requires more vacations than regular jobs [14:01] Agree. [14:01] But I never enjoyed them as much as I do now :) [14:02] When my step-father was a floor trader...he took 8 weeks of vacation per year. [14:02] Wow, 2 weeks a quarter [14:02] Finally, the doctor told him the stress was too much...he moved on to the Federal Reserve.
