    Well that was about right. I should have just shut up and waited before posting stupid ideas, see that's what happens when you get impatient. It was too early to 100% determine it would stay in that range one way or the other. I had to run though lol. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

    Give a shout if you see any big moves imminent today. I'm afraid to take anything long, but that seems to be the mood so I'm sure not gonna short anything.
    They were saying Buffett did something with natty... Might check on KMI. Its not moving yet.

  6. recovered and +3.75 points on the day and done. Gonna rest in bed. After struggling with discipline issues and bouncing around with strategies for years and years, I've uncovered the "volume leads price" formula to make me pretty damn consistent in the ES lately. Its funny, I was reading something on elitetrader about volume a while back, and it really had nothing to do with what I'm doing now with volume, but it made me rethink vol. I didnt even have volume on my charts. Spontaneous ideas came into my head on how to use vol effectively based on experience, and I blended it into something I could use. Now i'm on the right side of price movement more often rather than the wrong side. And when I take a losing trade, it no longer affects me as I know I can get it back rather quickly. IF i can keep this up for another week, i'll add size. Been doing this off and on for 10 years, its about time something worked for me

    There's an old, old adage on WS....
    "Volume is validity".
