    Because if you take your signals from longer term charts & happen to be at turning point off shorter term charts then potential reward is a lot larger than risk, also momentum is of an essense to me.

    makes sense but if you are so certain about price moving upwards then why a 30 cents stop?

    It's not about being certain ImO, it's about seeing a proven set-up and going for it, I always enter off 1 min chart as a trigger, so stops can be smaller that way. Also I scale out of positions almost 100% of the time.

    pulled a stop at -.30c

    price action all fucked up at the moment ImO, need a clearer set-up to re-enter

    I suggest a short from 8750 or if u want to be safe then 8790. Just an advice
    rest is on you
    as far as tommorow is concerned, market should post a high of around 8800 in GLOBEX or NYMEX after which is should fall to 8610-8630. I would post exact targets in about 12 hours

    I still see a potential for a BO today

    Went Long 87.20 off 5 min chart, banking on BO off hourly+, 20c+ stop on this one

    Clearly I am in minority here at 6/1 ratio :)

    Ill be trading the market today with an unbiased opinion and will be looking 10-20 cents trade. I also believe that market will rebound to 8800-8830 but Ill not bet on the bigger move

    ur stop is quite tight IMO
