    Still Manual Long 3x @63
    Algo Long 08 Out 01: -28
    Algo Long 08 again out 03 : -20
    Algo Long 04 out @12: +32.

    THIS IS ALL PAPER. I wanted to see how the Algo behaved. Lots of changes to make but the order handling worked as designed..

    As for the manual 3x long. Down 200 ticks. Going to watch the close 4 close and the 415 close. Will hold till tomorrow .

    Update now closed and down 150 ticks.
    Update 2. As I expected: oversold and people taking an early LONG for the bounce. Will close out the 3x long near BE. Total disaster in MAE (-230tks). That is why I don't manually "day" trade. Can't deal with the MAEs.
    Now down -105, -110 ticks.

    How the hell did you enter at 5275 when the HIGH was 5235.75? (see the chart below with corresponding time stamps). When it was trading at 5275, it was nearly 90 minutes ago!!

    "Learn from the greatest trader of all time?"
    Are you kidding me? If you can't post your trade in REAL TIME, get the fuck out!!

  4. I'm just 'guessing' at this point and not taking any trades, but this 'looks' like a dump into the Close. Wrong around 5225.

    I think we will close where we're trading about now: 5210.

    I just did a Sammy. I just bought ES at 5145 and sold 5201, 100K up. I swept the book but all at one price. Sick fills. Losers.

    Just be content that it went up as high as 5280 this morning. Maybe we'll get another chance tomorrow. But like I said above, I would look for the flush out first.

  8. Could be.

    I shorted 5212 on that 15:38 spike with 1000 contracts, though. ;) Holding for the dump.

    I pretty much ignored him when he accused everyone here as paper traders. But WTF? What the idiot is doing is worse than paper trading. It shouldn't take more than a minute to post your trade. Posting trades 90 minutes late is a scam.

    @Baron, what the hell are you doing? You shouldn't let these things go unanswered.

    Px was at 32 when he posted at 1:59 Eastern. ofc it hadn't seen 39 since 1:55. He waited for the drop and then posted. Same with the cover.
