    kinda like the level, but it's a news day and could well rip my face off lol. Not giving it too much room

    They tend to have whatever slippage the mini has multiplied by two or three.

    My worst trade last year was precisely testing a new strategy with 5 micros. I was waiting for a news release and I jumped the gun when I saw the market taking a dive (thinking the report had been released)... Turns out the actual news release came 3 seconds after my entry :D

  5. sometimes you just couldn't help when market traded to your level, I was short 05 with stop above 07, thought the worst I get is getting fill 10pts above right still acceptable risk, then BOOM got fill 30-48s. Shit happen.

  6. After these last few weeks one would have thought you'd learned to not be too confident. LOL.

    Let's just see where the market goes.

    In 5 days Trump comes to power and he can move the markets 100 points up or down in a tweet.

  8. And we could be back near ATH by then. This market is just unbelievable. I'm amazed it ever drops. Any drop has to be looked as a near miracle. Yeah my predictions haven't been great lately. Maybe I should lay low for a bit. Watching all these mini V's and fake fades today. The monday gap down was the kiss of death for bears as it always is.
