(sim) -.52 Edit: that's short 78.52 in sim Stop 78.65, will move to BE and add twice, trailing the stop to be on the avg pos target: test of LOD 19:48 stop to be, looking to add on deterioration of TICK/ES 19:52 added another unit at .41? avg .47 (be) ---- waiting for a break and a mini-pullback to add the third unit (at around 30) 19:55 ask .30 --- stop to .40 (more or less be - waiting for a fill) 20:01 filled, but not looking that good (ES) be is 3 x .41 20:03 stopped out at be (ES was turning, but the T&S in CL was looking good so I held)
Thanks Kid, I placed an order at 78.30 (Ask) to add my third unit/car. At the time was about 6-7 ticks above market, I was waiting for a small pullback. It did pullback to 78.28, but didn't get a fill and didn't want to add below .20. When I saw the TICK and ES start to turn upwards was going to cancel the last order and close the trade (at somewhere around .25, that's about 200 bucks multiplied by 2 cars - total MFE was like 720 USD), but the large prints in the T&S were hitting the bid so I kept the order and held the position. When I got stopped out I thought that I shouldn't have added the last one, since it seemed to halt at my stop at .40 (3 cars), but it would have hit my stop at .47 (2 cars) anyway. I took the trade in sim because we were at my time limit (45' before close) and anyway I wasn't reading the market well today. Sorry for the soap opera (long explanation)
I like your thinking better, Kid, but thanks Edit 20:32 Damn, I should have duplicated that same trade live in the last 10 minutes - fastest 1,500 USD in a looooong while
