    out be

    reenter -.12

    stop at .22 with reverse

    Edit: if it breaks down (but looks like we have a buyer) will add twice

    Out at .22 with a 10 tick loss, it should have reversed the position, but I'm flat (I must have not clicked it :confused: )

    SHORT 76.33

    SL 7685; PT 7250-ish

    This is a swing play.

    Picaso,

    Even though you're sim trading, don't forget to factor in the emotions. Otherwise, you're doing yourself great disservice.

    On the other hand, if your aim is to become a flipper, sim trading won't help ya. You must first overcome the psychological hurdle.

    Thanks for the advice, Schizo, but could you please elaborate (later)?

    Good [st]luck[/st] skill with your short.

    I shorted the breakout @ 75.43 (Aug), saw 18 ticks come right back to stop me out b/e. The break was such a quick move through I had visions of a 1.30 move dancing in my head. Oh, wait, it's exp Friday... :D

    Yeah, I guessed you'd short it, sorry it didn't work, one more push down and it'd gone to 74.40.

    But, hey, you're taking (all) your trades, which is the important thing :)

    [Sorry I succumbed to the gambling urge, no disrespect to Schizo or his thread :p - and I do appreciate the advice]

    Schizo, I know that you have had some very profitable swing trades in oil, but are you ok with leaving open a short position over a weekend, particularly when it doesn't have any open profit "cushion"? (An honest question)
