You still have not adequately explained this... https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/es-journal-2019-2020.328086/page-798#post-4887885 Why did your trade not get stopped out?
Trend within the bear market topping remains up, so iI'll be careful shorting here. However, the top could easily be formed here so I am keeping my finger on the trigger to fire when it becomes obvious
Occasionally enter or exit a position in afterhours. Trade it? --not typically.----Generally trade currency futures in the SP afterhours.
So why do you have a mental stop in place during ETH, but not in RTH? Surely they both move in the same fashion?
As most know, I don't have my hard stop in place during the afterhours as the market is too thin and easily manipulated
It is odd that "manipulation" would keep you out of the hard stops on ETH. But it is what it is. I suppose you are trading sizes so large that you feel the cabal is out there to take your stops out? I don't understand that thinking. As a typical retail folk, it is just a drip in a large lake, no?
