I believe by a ramp he means a quick favorable move in his direction. An EOB stop is an End of Bar stop where you place your trailing stop just...
I agree, the native stop limit would have to be superior if used with a decent limit range. I wonder if you're put in the cue with the native...
Wally, did your systems catch this rally today? I'm reinstalling the gap module into my system, as there have been few gap and traps the last two...
One strategy I've thought of trying is to place stops on either end, but also limit order stops (with a wide limit range) a few points away to...
I know those Greenman days well. Those are official vacation days for me in the future. Last one caught me with 4 ES contracts going the wrong...
Maybe the good ole' days are coming back. Waited for a small pullback to get long this morning and it never came. In hindsite, should've put buy...

Interesting how the market is taking out the interim S/R points and reversing immediately. Everyone is in range mode now. These are days I hate...
Yes, that's what my wife tells me.
Yes, it's become the discretionary systematic trading journal. If it was performing like it has the last year, it would be easier to take all the...
Looks like today will be a narrow range with a selloff at the end. Can't be sure with all those crazy buyers from yesterday possibly still...
