  1. I pulled my stop up to 1351.75. Currently sitting on $2,000 unrealized gains which is a very handsome reward for two days and one click of a mouse button. :)

    mastacoli71, do you still have your stop at that trough?

  2. beautiful trade bomb. yes, i am below the 52.75 level. quite far from closing price so there has got to be more efficient way of stopping out.

    good luck with the trade.

  4. Shorted @ 1369.25, Stop @ 1384.00

    Whatever news was announced, the market swung up and reversed massively. I recognize it as a serious threat and reversed short at this point. At least I could secure some 30 points from the previous trade.

    Total profit since beginning: $16,862.50

    Are these mental or physical stops?

    nice switch it seems. Market has potential to go down 20 points here at least.

  7. Always physical stops placed in the market. For both the protective and the trailed stop.

  9. You continue to inspire, Bombardier. Excellent performance!

    Are you still trading only one contract? Do you have a plan for scaling up eventually? Did you test your strategy on other markets as well?

    Keep up the good work.
