    Nice trade, I think I have to add a startraitor parameter to my code.




    if ( startraitor = Long) & (blox87=Short)
    Exit short (); :D

    just got another signal long at 82.51 long. Won't hit target so exit at close. really didn't want to take this one either 10 min before the close

  4. I typically exit at a target. Today I just kind of eyeballed the middle of the late morning-afternoon range as an exit. Nothing too complicated, just cautious when ct trading.

    The reason it reversed at 82.00 was because for me to capture my 20-tick minimum profit in the trade I was in would've required price to hit 81.98 :eek:

    Picaso, you'll be pleased to know that I had a buy stop @ 82.59 almost to the close. I was actually SHOCKED it didn't break.

    I had one at .57 (sim), which got filled and cost me 10 ticks.

    But then again, you're not the RQ of PA for nothing. :)

    Hope you had a good day (blank here after missing the post-inventories trade).

    I had a scratch trade pre-inventory, an expected momentum move with no follow through. Then I did nothing until after the big beautiful post-inventory move was over.

    At that point I commenced to put on 7 more trades, both long and short, for an all-time total record-breaking 8 scratch trades. Every trade I hesitated to take or was away from my desk for, went at least 20 ticks my way and every trade I took went shy of 20 ticks and stopped me out.

    If you think I'm gonna buy you pizza and beer with my $50, forget it!
