  1. There is a significant disadvantage to trading 1 contract.. cannot satisfy anxiety by partial trades.. covered here at 1764.. +32.5 points not bad. Good trade but an accident basically as I almost meddled it away by using intraday stops for daily swing trading. Hope to reshort mid 1770's today or tomorrow..

  4. ammo.. thanks.. I actually do that on a different chart page.. But a good idea though to synchronize those to my hourly to keep things simpler...

    You must be thrilled/relieved today.. Probably none of the above, the hallmark of great trading.. Question for you that probably needs no answer.. where did this come from??? Markets trick everyone often.

  5. Take a look at this on a weekly.. The high this week 1813.75 is EXACTLY the August 2007 Low!! Seems those that move markets look at longer time-frames.. Should have put up 10 contracts there... yeah right...

    edit... nice charts....if you want to watch the market profile of the nq, look for the widest and narrowest spots , they are sometimes between s/r lines on regular chart

  9. Short order at 1777 missed by a hair. Hope it fills with stop 1782.

  10. Never an exact science. Still trying to avoid ANY loss AND trying to top pick... books have been filled with these ailments..

    A break of a TL (1600t break last night) against a fresh trend my "system" but you get fooled a few times and there goes your system. Enough berating..

    Morning prep...

    Funny Friday ahead so anything even more possible today.. Looking to short 70's (73's) but will try to be patient early..
