This swing trade was stopped out today for a loss of 5.25 pts. There were plenty of times I could have taken profit during the trade, but I was looking for bigger gains.
Oh here come the wonderful list of excuses. You may want to refer to this guy who totally faked his trade screenshot and blames his fiance for sabotaging him.. LOL (I see you post in the thread so I'm sure you are aware of it) https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/ym-magic.307470/page-49#post-4439042 Yup... more pile of excuses. That is an impressive long reply for doing it with one finger on an ipad, but I believe that as much as your entries and exits. Considering that for so many trades you state that you exit because its going sideways, forming micro ranges as you say, so to assume that you just use OCO orders and leave the trade alone would be the complete opposite. In other words, I don't believe it. But don't worry, I didn't expect that there would be anything you would share that would explain the things I brought up. I'm not wasting time on this of course, but just wanted to make a record in ET about this. There are far too many fakes on here and its important for newbies reading now or later to understand.
That is the ES. Mean really mean reversion. I sure you made mr TSA AKA "the microscope" very happy. He gets to log up a loss in his dossier he may have on file for buy1sell2.
I am selective in the trades i take. I don't take every potential trade. I look at the individual bars. Glad you are impressed with my one finger typing. You did well. Happy for you. Have a good evening TSA. PS wanna ride in my MH. ROFLMAO! Just kidding. How about making a few live calls tomm BEFOREHAND.
Keep your eyes trained on which ones don't fall down. Got to be doing something waiting for next trade.
