  2. ok
    yesterday was not so good
    but i'll try again today
    no more 3 min charts
    looked at the 5 mins and seem to work better for this method
    will trade 2 contracts today
    close one out after 3 bars if lower low on 5 min bar when long
    or higher high when short
    let other ride a bit longer.

  9. chuck........... imagine if you will, a gopher tunnel with a series of chambers, in most of those chambers, lie lil baby gophers, all snuggled up and laying still for safety....... THESE ARE YOUR STOP LEVELS.....

    now imagine a fast hungry snake, systematicly pocking its head in every chamber... flicking its tongue .... searching for the lil gophers................ THAT IS THE PRICE ACTION

    Be aware of probing....

  10. didn't trade on sim this week because interactive brokers turned off the quotes because there was no money in my account :-(
    how are you supposed to train like this?
    thought about my trades for a bit and it seems that the entries are okish, but i let profits slip away
    so was thinking of holding shorterterm/ taking profits faster.
    anyone know of a good sim to try this on? preferably without opening another account

    btw how about that market eh?
