  2. Language, buddy. I don't see any clowns here. You seem to be getting into arguments with everyone. Maybe just relax a bit and focus on your own process instead of criticizing everyone else?

    From my POV, this is a free message board for shooting the shit when we're bored and lonely as independent traders. I'm not expecting anything more from it.

    But yes, I do agree it can be a negative influence, but that's since it can get distracting and you can also tend to want to defend a certain view instead of switching sides quickly. Today, I was stubborn on the short side because my statistics were solid on at least a gap fill. But we only got a partial. Maybe I was extra stubborn because I had put forth a view here and wanted to show how brilliant I am. LOL.

    Fortunately, I didn't take big losses and was able to reverse long in due time.

    theapprentice and c1rcle like this.
  3. ES reversed off the weekly Open and last week's Close for now. Could be an initial reaction before another pop.

  4. Not that it's of any consequence to anyone, LOL, but I lowered my stop on that hindsight trade from above to 11.75. A bit pre-occupied with other stuff, but I figure we have a good chance at making new highs into the Close. The day is still young...

    ...and I may be dead wrong.

    Nice job on keeping losses small. That's what I did yesterday and thankfully came away with a small $40 win.

    the clown comment isnt necessarily related to skill. it's their lack of consistency in applying their energy, objectivity in processing information that is time stamped and their willingness to be a hypocrite. They obviously want the comments. He posted a clearly smart ass comment and got one back.

  6. Lolz.

    I forgot,youve been at this for 6 weeks now so I should have more respect for your wisdom.

    The precious trading advice Ive taken away from this is:I don't care if there's 50 levels there's only one. Amen brother!

    As me and the rest of the monkey tribe like to say: obvious troll is obvious.

    cool, it was the rare day/set up where I can get in trouble and normally lose (posted it prior to open). it's called self awareness and the fact I made profit on my most difficult day I am fine with. FYI enjoy being squeezed further today. How many of you are DCA'ing into your shorts hoping for a pull back? Keep doing it you'll end up being a buyer at all time highs again

    The fact that you correlate making big money is always directly correlated to correct trading is amazing. Also shows your ignorance. So if a new trader goes all in and has a huge day, by your logic we should listen to him right? That's basically your logic.

    You have like 5-10% chance MAX of this working today. Not even being rude stop shorting. It's complete luck if it works and will do nothing for you long term to understand trading.
