    you really are an interesting group
    very diverse to the point that you are interfering with each others learning, but with the best of intentions.

    you would rather fail than let go the group [ but you do not know this]
    think about this if indeed you want to succeed

    it is not easy but you can do it if you want it badly enough to let go

  6. I`ll consider that, Picaso. I just hate to see the market move without me joining in on the fun :)

    I like it, aquarian :)

    On the long @ 1233 which I did not take btw, my profit target based on the technical picture would be 1237 based on the assumption that the market were bottoming out and would test that level.

    However, knowing myself, I am pretty sure I would have booked profits at 3 points or even less.

    And that`s why trailing stops may be worse for me than you, since my profit targets are smaller than yours. I usually go for 1-3 points, but that is much due to the fact that I`m only trading the last 2-3 hours of the market.


    My experience as well, but where I`m struggling is to know what`s what. When momentum picks up, trailing is excellent, but when price stalls, taking profits is the right thing to do.

    More practice and experience is needed :)

    For what it`s worth, I got out on a short 4 ticks from the bottom (on a leg, not the daily low) by trailing a short today.

  7. Locked in 1,5 points in simbucks (100 contracts), so I`m thrilled :D I used a tight trail when price stalled, but it turns out the market had more downside potential (as I originally anticipated).

    In all seriousness, I`m starting to feel confident (not cocky) in my trading lately. I hope it`s not luck, just as it is bad luck when I`m losing :D

    Tortoise, regarding crash into Xmas. My observation of weekly TICK: looking definetely weaker. If resistance is not taken out this week, then weekly TICK may look quite bearish. I will update at end of week, as I posted earlier yesterday I am not buying at the moment, nor selling.

    Move along people. i_c didn't ask for help, so let's not offer it. If and when he has a losing trade, surely he will learn from it and change trading tactics if needed.

    Told ya...
