[15:51] <+jbuch> well done kos
[15:51] <+kosmipt> thx, greed is good on a day like today
[15:52] <@NihabaAshi> right back to where I started :(
[15:52] <+jbuch> greed is always good if your protecting your profits :))
[15:53] <+szubaark> well, today its tough to protect profits as the pullbacks make sure u got no profits LOL
[15:54] <+szubaark> that early morning Ramp UP was the inly good one..rest been just creep higher tick by tick
[15:54] <@NihabaAshi> Long ES @ 815.75 -> small size
[15:54] <@NihabaAshi> 1 only
[15:54] <@NihabaAshi> intuition
[15:54] <+szubaark> wrbtrader caught that morning ramp up Nicely
[15:55] <@NihabaAshi> Yeah...it gave me most of my points today.
[15:55] <@NihabaAshi> After that...too much distractions and personal stuff to due.
[15:55] <+szubaark> it was sneaky because u got it at the 10am Volatility news spike
[15:55] <+kosmipt> good idea was to switch to longer timeframe in the afternoon, like 15min
[15:56] <@NihabaAshi> Had about 6 time trades today which is very unusual.
[15:56] <+kosmipt> you mean where you used time stop?
[15:56] <@NihabaAshi> Yeah...for example...
[15:57] <@NihabaAshi> Exited ES Long @ 817.00 --> + 1.25
[15:58] <@NihabaAshi> I need to be out the door 3 days per week around 3:30pm est to meet the bus that brings home my 6 year from school while spouse is already picking up the smaller one from day care.
[15:58] <@NihabaAshi> Meant 3:20pm est
[15:59] <@NihabaAshi> Simply, I exit trades (profitable or loser) early before their actual stops are hit.
[15:59] <@NihabaAshi> I then come back around 3:40pm est to trade again.
[15:59] <+tomosyn57> Long SSO @ 21.2 «« simulator »»
[15:59] <@NihabaAshi> Simply, I miss a good 20mins of trading action between that time period.
[15:59] <@NihabaAshi> NOt a big deal except on a few days per month...
[16:00] <+jbuch> Long SPY @ 82.21
[16:00] <+tomosyn57> Exited all SSO Long @ 21.25 --> + 0.05 «« simulator »»
[16:00] <@NihabaAshi> On day's like today we get a trend continuation price action in that time period.
[16:00] <+kosmipt> yeah, i remember reading in the forum you use hard catastrophy stop of around 3-4 pts but you exit with no more than 2pt loss after you lose conviction
[16:00] <+jbuch> Exited all SPY Long @ 82.31 --> + 0.1
[16:01] <@X> #FuturesTrades Info -> Archived trade posting chat logs have a new location. They are now stored @ viewforum.php?f=20
[16:01] <@NihabaAshi> Yeah...I try very hard not to take more than a -2 hit.
[16:01] <@NihabaAshi> Uphill battle when getting hit more than 2 points.
[16:02] <@NihabaAshi> Usually the price action has my mental stops anywhere between -0.50 to -2.50
[16:03] <@NihabaAshi> I'll then determine where to exit a loser anywhere within that range depending upon what the price action is showning.
[16:03] <@NihabaAshi> My hard stop of -4 points is for emergency only like the one I had over a week ago when my ISP disconnect in the middle of a trade.
[16:04] <+jbuch> When price hits those areas do you just hit the close button or move your stop to it
[16:05] <@NihabaAshi> Sometimes I just exit the loser while other times (if I have time)...I will re-adjust the hard stop to where I really want it at.
[16:05] <@NihabaAshi> The hard stop of -4 points is auto upon entry.
[16:06] <+szubaark> How do you trail once you reach your Initial target on 1st? (i know u like to catch first WRB)
[16:21] <+jbuch> Sorry got distracted. thanks for the response wrbtrader.
