What I am saying is, NQ should not be dissing me on a 400+ point move against me, when B1 is doing basically the same thing monetarily. I do not treat B1 as any NIST fulcrum. He's not my "preferred dose of I.U. of vitamin B1."
My objection is that you state that such risk is normal. I think it is f’ing stupid. I posted a swing trade here on the ES back in March - 20 point stop with targets multiples of the stop. At some point well before the 400 point drawdown there were signals that the trade not only wasn’t going to work, but that the correct trade was the opposite position. Unless, of course, you are someone who “never takes a loss” because it is “only on paper.” Dissing you lol ... dude, you disrespect yourself trading like that and acting as though you are being reasonable.
NQ, you really must be new to the markets? I am trying to apply the lessons I have learned from past experiences. That is all I am trying to do. Take these three snapshots and think about it... Chart #1 Buy Long. Chart #2 Panic and sell at the bottom, about 2 weeks later. Chart #3 If I had let the swing work, no need for selling at #2. Back to BE, and on to some profit. Look at the time between chart number 1 and 3. A month. One measly month. Do you start to get the picture now?
*sighs* They were never "our" pandas! China owns every panda on the planet! I'm pretty sure it is in the rules of the WTO.
Are you dyslexic or just plain stupid? Do you even watch this stuff? Friday's close was the exact opposite of Thursday's. Sellers were pushing the price down on Friday. That's not how Thursday closed. Sometimes I wonder if you even trade.
Some folks are here just to cause chaos and get you into a pissing match. Don't fall for it. Its a waste of time...ignore them.
