[15:14] * +rickf figures was only 1 ct .... if i used normal size i'd have gone against me
[15:15] <@NihabaAshi> Hopefully the big move doesn't occur overnight to then give us regular traders just scraps in the normal trading hours.
[15:16] <+rickf> if you have a bias you could float 1 contract overnight
[15:16] <+Ap> thats horrrible
[15:17] <+rickf> why
[15:17] <@NihabaAshi> what do you mean by "float"
[15:17] <+rickf> run 1 contract long or short overnight
[15:17] <+rickf> if you have a directional bias
[15:17] <@NihabaAshi> I always have a bias but not for trade decisions...
[15:18] <+rickf> gotcha
[15:18] <@NihabaAshi> just for position size management.
[15:18] <+rickf> good point
[15:18] <@NihabaAshi> My bias today was bullish (long) but 3 out of 4 trades were shorts.
[15:19] <+rickf> true ... each to our own
[15:19] <+rickf> only stuff i will run overnight is fx or metals if i'm already in a swing-trade position
[15:19] <@NihabaAshi> At this point...I just want the market to move strongly...up or down for the month of May.

[15:35] <+rickf> yeah - set up a great short on the stress test this week
[15:36] <@NihabaAshi> It needs to stay above the contraction area that starts below 900.00
[15:37] <+rickf> yes - 900 is the battle line
[15:37] <@NihabaAshi> If not...we'll close below 900.00
[15:37] <+szubaark> yeah below that 900 is some TIGHT Range..barely 1pt..doesnt get tighter then that

[15:41] <+rickf> yes indeed
[15:42] <+szubaark> this 900 needs to be taken out with conviction for 1000, otherwise more Brutal chop ranges to follow
[15:42] <+rickf> still think we're overdue for a major pullback
[15:42] <+rickf> these gains over the past 9 weeks can't go on indefinately
[15:43] <+szubaark> yea..everyone keeps saying that..market loves to prove u wrong
[15:43] <+rickf> just remember - the law of gravity applies to the markets too
[15:43] <+rickf> :0
[15:43] <+rickf>
[15:43] <+Stone> market has so many sayings
[15:43] <+Stone> knowing which one to apply to the situation
[15:43] <+rickf> yeah
[15:43] <+Stone> is what really counts
[15:43] <+Stone> lol
[15:43] <+Stone> a lot of myf riends who aren't traders
[15:43] <+Stone> have sold out
[15:43] <+rickf> there's one that works well --
[15:43] <+Stone> after averaging down
[15:44] <+Stone> and think the market is goign to crash
[15:44] <+rickf> "trade the market you see not the one you want"
[15:44] <+szubaark> and dont forget..Timing is EVERYTHING
[15:44] <+Stone> only to watch the market keep going up
[15:44] <+rickf> i have that taped to my monitor
[15:44] <+Stone> timing... is most certainly... everything
[15:44] <+Stone> rickf: Good saying..
[15:44] <+Stone> words to live by
[15:44] <+rickf> actually it's a desktop image
[15:44] <+szubaark> rick, thats a good one
[15:44] <+rickf> hard lesson learned last year for me
[15:45] <+szubaark> BUT to trade market u see u need to be a MASTER of Price Action LOOOOLLLL
[15:45] <+Stone> "Just react, don't predict" would be a corollary
[15:45] <+Stone> szubaark: shoot, u need to be a master of a lot of things..
[15:45] <+rickf> anticipate as opposed to predict
[15:45] <+Stone> least of which is price action
[15:45] <+Stone> imo
[15:45] <+szubaark> trend is your friend Until it doesnt CREEP hahahah
[15:45] <+rickf> lol yeah really
[15:46] <+rickf> i view the markets like flying a plane --
[15:46] <+rickf> you know how to fly the thing, you just need to be comfortable in all sorts of weather
[15:46] <+rickf> trust your instruments (price) and don't go with your gut if you can help it
[15:47] <+szubaark> good analogy rick
[15:47] <+Stone> very good
[15:47] <@NihabaAshi> Long ES @ 901.25 -> small size
[15:47] <@NihabaAshi> 1 only

[15:47] <+rickf> or sit it out
[15:47] * +Stone smacks head
[15:47] <+Stone> that's me
[15:47] <+Stone> straight into the storm clouds
[15:47] <+Stone> lol
[15:47] <+rickf> the suicidal pilot flies into the storm head on .... or flails around the chopzone
[15:48] <+rickf> that was me and prolly all of us at some point
