    Intraday trading can be fun....i bought a single dow contract just now for 233 and sold it at 243

    I think you just have to wait for the momentum to get going and go in the direction and fearlessly add whilst bringing up the stop loss point.

    You are thinking too much. Let the market do the work.

  4. Overnight

    Overnight

    Consider longer-term adjustments as well. I mentioned here yesterday how I went in long YM for an overnight hold, and of course today it went ugly, about 2 grand total in the two positions under sea-level. But I didn't panic and am just hanging on, because I don't need to be actively trading every darn day. As of now the positions are back positive to $500 or so combined, and am going to keep hanging on until I reach my targets. I figure tomorrow will be a good rally afternoon IF the big tech reports tonight are good.

    Even if they are not, I still have 6 weeks to close the March position.

    My mind is also not finely tuned for actively monitoring the charts this week, which is why when I saw my entries fail, I decided to not act upon them. The FOUNDATION for the entries was there, but the timing was off. Just gotta' let the markets go through it's current spasms. Patience.

    *bangs head on wall* Hehe

  6. I zigged when I should have zagged with that 'hedge' short near the lows, lol.
    Bit of a mess now. Need to wait until I feel I have a very clear read of the market before adjusting my positions!

    What expiration? If this rally has 1/2 a year left, why buy vix calls? I am confused.

    That is what I heard too...ascending is bearish...not that I trade it.
