If he comes up with it, it's probably photoshopped and if it's real it proves that as a trader he's not worth a grain of salt. Just a freak bound for a blowup.
I don't really try to figure it out. I just leave it as "it is what it is." Life and trading is just easier that way.
I'm placing buy orders that I never normally make and they continue to work on ES and NQ. I've essentially thrown my ES system out the window and I'm just buying 3-6 tick pullbacks on ES and it continues to not disappoint. Granted not everyone is a winner, but I'm doing well this past month. Better than usual. It's weird because I'm frustrated that I'm doing so well, solely because I've worked so hard to figure out how to trade ES, develop a plan to trade it, but I've put it on hold to just buy pullbacks and hold long. Markets are never this easy but nowadays they are.
IloveOptions let a trade go 70 odd points against him and nobody asked for statements. Personally, I want Pinkman to keep posting. He seemed to have a crystal ball most of the time.

Buying pull backs and holding for a few pts IS a plan! You are flexible enough to use a different plan for different markets. Sometimes the old adages ie "never short a dull market" are true for a reason! Nice trading.
