you will always make money trading sim. U are better off not trading sim at all to contain emotion and the word IF
never will dare challenge NoDoji to a CL contest but "ISH" did 4 CL trades today, -18, -13 (rats) +60, +36 ES. love it, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyJt05xVUJo&feature=related MY new plans theme song, from high School days at the "GRILL" on the jukebox 1961 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9hSgs0ITI0 DA Hog has been reliving the best years lately ha
Hard to resist that oily stuff I like how your smallest win was twice your biggest loss. Hard to go broke with that kind of R:R. ES is rather stuck here. So much good news, it can't sell off, so much uncertainty, it can't rally hard. Sitting right around the old trend line and the 20-day EMA.
Yes, ES has the FED at its back. the real question of what will happen when the FED takes the training wheels off of the recovery. I have a nephew, a pipefitter he drives from Saginaw area, Mich to Toledo, O-HI-O back and fro everyday. A construction V8 pick-em-up truck don't ya know. Must be $800 a month in gas. Price of gas will bite regular folk if this keeps up. I agree, CL can be fun, it also can be a slippery slope (pun intended). I have to admit, NoDoji has finally drawn me in, kicking and screaming,. but yes, i will trade it. ES, CL, 6E, 6j ..... more than 2 at a time though is a chore. But, not a real scalper so i will manage. UPDATE: retrace actually turned into a sideways consolidation. trade in "SEGMENTS" combine that with the 20 cross and you have the bird in the hand.....the rest is up to you. PAY attention: 1509 est, ES still having a hard time taking out that 1317.50 A SHORT? Sure it is, STOP 1318.00 NO GUTS, NO Glory
For all the heck I give ICFed and Airwaves about only going long ES with no stops, I'm going out on a limb here with you, OW: Do not short the CL. Only buy the CL. Just buy it and set a target 3 points higher. No stops. Just buy it. It's designed to only go up
Short @1314,75. Stop @ 1316,25. Targeting a test of the daily lows or possibly lower if momentum should pick up.
