hello bronks, i know this sounds useless, because it is said in hindsight, but if you had taken a look at the daily chart before the opening, you could have seen the possibility of a "turtle buy setup" = a test of the last low + reversal (the gap up would have supported that). i think it could be helpfull to take a look at the dailies first... trading
Chased the rally towards the end. Kept looking for an ideal entry instead of just buying into it like I usually do. Up at that point by over 9 points, I actually wasn't even gonna trade in the afternoon because of my tendency to donate money back, but she suckered me back in with a wink and a smile. When ahead, I tend to be too quick to take a loss, hence me dabbling around the 915-917 level. I thought the risk/reward was positive around there 'cause I was expecting a run-up to the 935-940 into the close. But the root of the problem was actually entering too late on the ramp. Hindsight is always 20/20 unfortunately. On a side note; I'd like to apologize to everyone for my tirade on another thread. It wasn't very smart of me and I feel like an idiot for doing it. +5.5 points / 8 RT's * Sub... you win. Would you like it gift wrapped?
Mahhhvelous suggestion, although I think he's to young to know what to do with it. Excellent trading, by the way. You suck
this could be a projektion for today. a "grail sale" (resistance trough 20EMA) setup on the dailies will be kick in at around 947... DONT EVER THINK THAT WAY or you will miss a lot of great moves... good luck
Hi bronks, +5.5 points...good trading. Better trading if you were happy with the results of your trading plan. A lot of traders were expecting the morning price pullback in the Eminis. Further, it was a good day for profits for Shorts (morning) and Longs (late afternoon). bronks...have you figured out why you tend to donate money in the afternoons? Also, do you mean the Mid-day trading session or the late afternoon trading session or both? Those are two distinctive intraday cycles for the Eminis and I was just curious which one was causing you trouble. (Actually...I've seen some Emini traders break the Mid-day and Late Afternoon trading cycles down into more cycles) Also, there's no such thing as a late entry if you had a trade setup via your trading plan. Late entries in my opinion are chasing something without a trade setup. Congrats...your account is rising again and consistently over the past trading days. Nice trend reversal. Look forward to seeing your entry/exit times for yesterday's trading. Take care. NihabaAshi
