  1. PB time! Let's see if the dip buyers got this or not. :)

    If we dip below 18 I'll start getting worried. But even then - still most likely the LOD holds.

  2. I seem to recall @Buy1Sell2 had a saying about new all time highs a while back now. Like how it would require N attempts before it succeeded. I think it worked out pretty well, too. A few years ago.

    Maybe that was a different structure.

    Most likely this is a good spot for some hedging and profit taking, so there may be some resistance here. Maybe it's too early today. I'm definitely not overconfident.

  3. Picaso

    Yeah, I got kickout at BE @18 on the previous quick pullback

    Same on an oil short :D

    And my stocks account is all cash because every time I get a good entry, I get stopped out (sometimes to the tick) at BE a few days later :banghead:

    Edit: If I followed my own advice, today I should be buying the breakout on the NQ, not the ES

  4. Don't do that. You're scaring me.

    Sorry to hear that.

    Your average is better than mine (25). I widened my stop on that PB. Had a long I got kicked out of premarket.

    That PB looked scary, but I knew that if today's a normal 'this type of day', it would be only that.

  5. Micros today since I traded like a chump yesterday and don't deserve anything more. 5 per clip.

    Will start trailing at some point.

  6. It's honestly a fantastic feature - especially now that you're able to lock the settings from one session to the next and are not able to adjust it in real time (which is what happened when I took that big loss in December).

    I use it at discretion, too, i.e., I'll lock myself out for the day if I'm feeling happy with the day's profit. Or maybe I'll give myself a 30/60 minute timeout if I'm trading poorly.

    Anything to give protection against my monkey brain.

  7. SPX all time highs any minute! Less than 1 point shy.

    Can sell. Can get squeezy.

    Now Trump can boast about the stock market making all time highs on day 3 in office. LOL. :rolleyes:

    Heads will probably be rolling if this sells...

  9. Short 6134.75. Stop 6142.00. Open target. On seeming multiple day distribution with VIX divergence today.

  10. Market's breaking out. NQ on a runaway trend.

    I suspect that even if you're right, you're way too early. Better to short the Close, I think.
