  1. Managed to get long around the 74.x area (evidence upon request via PM). Will use pullback opportunities today to add to my trade, should be a choppy session due to options expiration but will trade it from the long side.

    Will kill the trade at high 80s, perhaps 90 if price action allows otherwise whatever the close of the session gives me.

  3. Well done vol.

    I added to longs overnight as well. went flat at 1282.5 (R1)

    Not confident in a short as NAZ is gonna slug away up to ythe open. Eur/usd well above r levels as well.

    Good luck on the r10 short.

  5. Depends...

    Breakout mode.

    If I know I'm trading a breakout, I do continuous adds of equal size and simultaenously trail a stop as the breakout does its thing. Taking consolidation periods during the breakout as consideration.

    Typical mode.

    If I'm expecting whipsaw action, I make sure my previous position or position(s) have enough "buffer" to allow a loss on a new add (lesser size) and trail a stop less aggressively than in the breakout version. Sometimes, if very active, will get in and out of trades to maximize the winnings but sometimes work does not permit as I own a little business I must take care of.

    Many times it's based on feel depending how much my brain is identifying with the price action at hand.

    82 is 50% of weeks range


    If they play the IHS out we can still hit ~90 intraday.

    If 82/83 holds then we move down to fill the gap first

    If either happens I will post my trades 5 hours after the fact so you can see my huge profit.

  9. I'm detecting angry/negative waves from volente. A most unusual occurrence.:confused:

    Still expecting Allegretto break today.

    I bought 100 at 67.75 and just sold at 83.5.

    Far from angry.


    Just respecting my old friend's rules
