it qualified, unless you get nitpicky about the time as the trigger was 11:20. in 1010.25 out 1014.25..
I took it. No BB penetration on the spike but I was trading the range, and then the range broke, so I called it a breakout. Closed out a minute ago for 4 pts. Was going to hold for more but we are nearing lunch time, so I got out. Anybody else take this? Between this and my range trades, I am up 6.75 pts off one contract today.
Yes. It's a trading idea which JR has presented. If the concept interest you then go back and work thru the charts and see if it's worth pursuing. If you're really interested put in the time to check it out yourself, then engage in some kind of productive dialog to learn and maybe improve it.
One neg of range trading is I was so pissy about my last trade going south I nearly missed that breakout!
I am positively the fucking worst at record keeping. I don't even write down my trades when they happen. I know how much profit I made at the end of the day, and what my new balance is. Then I get the statement on email the next day and say "I remember that - looks right". Maybe if I did 10 trades a day, I've have to be more thorough, but I don't. So unless I go back over all my statements I've got no idea how many trades I did. No I won't post my results. Nobody can emulate me, so what's the point? And I don't intend to personalise things to the extent of telling everyone exactly how much money I make. Fuck off and mind your own business! What matters is whether YOU make money. While I will discuss specific trade setups to assist people's analysis, you won't be getting personal financial details from me. Given my generosity, I see no need to 'prove myself' to any fucker.
Overtrading, looking for action, taking small winners. Trying to win all the time. That's the problem with the other stupid thread. Not to mention, telling you to add more indicators just to fuck you up. If you want to make more money, trade more contracts not more signals. Your need to get by in "all conditions" will destroy you. Check that emotional problem at the door and learn patience instead.
