Just trade your plan man, let the market come to you Mr. Guru!

 

You're long 2725? Was looking to do the same but it just went vertical after 27 touched, was not willing to buy blindly at that spot, needed just one more touch of 27.25 to see, or at least a little more activity there. Good job if you're in it..

 

been talking about chop-mac-chop-your-account day - I'm only at this, getting chopped myself.

 

27.50. I always front run the 50% by one tick to ensure a fill. Limit to close at 33.25's.

 

hoo rah bull bretheren, no more choppa range

yesterday close 1236 important, 1241 my tgt. 1233 now.

 

nice! Probably a good time to front run it, I was not confident enough in the direction to do it.

 

1st short setups coming in, no more clear sailing, paring longs, protect rest.

might even take little short bite.

EDIT: alright my rules say short 1231-1233, but ehhhh I am going to wait and look for opportunity during last hour should be good swing with volume. Flat for now and taking a break : )

 

Waiting for this fill is killing me, but I know if I take it early, it will tag it moments later.

EDIT: I couldn't take it anymore. I'm WEAK! 31.50's. Still not a bad trade.

 

i've been bullish. really thought 37.50 would clear, but...

 

Satchel, can you please explain your reasoning a bit for this short set-up. Thanks a lot.
