    Happy they rolled out the micros. Lowers the barrier to entry as far as risk capital goes.

    Also allows you to trade even smaller which helps to cushion some of the emotion that comes with a loss/losing streak while still allowing you to trade with enough leverage to celebrate your wins/focus on getting better.

    3.5 hours in and 8 points is all we got on the upside so far?
    I dunno... one would think we'd be up some more. This is not a night designed to game shorts without putting out some juicy bait. 8 points is not juicy. If the algo's were gonna play the Sunday night pajama traders, they would have taken it up by at least 20-25 points before they kicked in reverse and burnt everyone. Why didn't they? What are they afraid of? Or more accurately, what do they know they're going to do tomorrow?

    ... we shall see. No change to the above however. tty'all tomo. g/l

  6. Sit back and watch the market magically go green. Another V. Absolutely impossible for any drop to hold.

    Swing baby, swing

    I set a buy limit at 5775. Stop loss is 5714.25, take profit 6100.

    That's about 5.25:1 profit to loss.

    I will add if price moves higher. I will allow the stop to do what it is meant to do if price moves lower. If stopped, I may enter a new position at either a higher or lower price. All that is TBD, and it will be determined by the market and what it does, and not by me.

    This is an account of my own, and not my prop account. I will do my best to update the trade here. If the stop loss trades you may safely assume I am out and took my loss. I will not move the stop loss lower. I will move it toward price only, and not away from it.

    I thought I had mervyn on ignore. I fixed that mistake.

    It is easy to get on my ignore list. Just the least little bit of negativity toward me or anyone whom I respect and you're off my radar for good.

    His post was a lot of work for a free forum.

    Nothing to see here. Market is sitting at confluence area where there is no clear direction.

    I'm still bullish in PA, but I'm not taking any position until I see clearly what both BPs & MMs doing.
