    2 cents * 145% tariff = 4.9 cents, rounding up = 1 niquel, AS LONG AS YOU DON'T RETALIATE :D

    11 Apr European session

    at exactly 3:00am ET
    all US and European index futures when down at the same time.
    sigh ... I missed the signal as the price movement was jerky/sluggish


    2nd trading opportunity at 3.55am ET.
    Again those index futures moved in tandem
    :sneaky::sneaky::sneaky::sneaky::sneaky:


    When the market moves in tandem, it is a high probability trade.
    Those with multiple charts should be able to catch those signals.
    There are many big boys who trade around the hour.

  3. I think NO ONE here sleeps!!! Will restart operations next Tuesday, and see what's up. It's been a pretty insane couple of weeks...

    Got lucky on Wednesday, and I am not a greedy pig...

    This.↑↑↑

    Of course, a big monster rally or a big flush by itself doesn’t mean jack. That’s just noise floating in the void. But drop that action right into a key price level like support, resistance, whatever, and it ain’t noise anymore. It’s now signal. It's context. You strip price action out of context, all you’re left is a random noise.

  7. Yes. A call should as minimum have an uncle point, IMHO. If not, you're no different than v-shape who will claim victory on a 50 point rally following a 1000 point drop.

    The devil is in the details in this business...

  8. Actually. I changed my mind. Just don't boast too much if the market went 100 point against you first. This is generally speaking. Not towards anyone specific.

    But I digress...

  9. Ok from now on. A good call template should contain:
    Time
    price
    stop
    target
    time in force

    In this current market environment, maybe we should have:

    Trume
    Trrice
    Strump
    Trumpget
    Trump-is-weak

    But let's leave the politics aside :D :p

    Now seriously, I think price and stop are usually enough (time is the time of posting with a small delay, target you can say/adjust later and time in force for most people here is now-EOD).

    Yourself, Schizo and the Apprentice are role models in this regard :)
