Idea was right, but as is often the case, if your timing isn't PERFECT, you can be right and still lose money Didn't post my 2nd trade as i'm starting to get supersticious/paranoid! lol Was a nice +14 winner, though!
Aj, a 1 min is a pretty darn fast chart in the futures. Essentially your saying :i'm a scalper". Do you use any longer charts to gain a larger & longer perspective?
i can trade a 1min chart, but not easy. you must be willing to place a lot trades. when things go sour, got to get out. and when they go sour again, got to get out. winners kinda take care of themselves. (although i'm almost always unhappy with my exit; always seems to go higher when i'm long, and lower when i'm short)AFTER I GET OUT. and always looking at where "i went wrong"..even though i banked. i suspect i'll never get over it
pull up your 15min. huge ramp that stalled @ 11 ET. we retest 20 from here? i don't think so, just one traders opinion
This looks and feels like the trillion dollar algo is beta testing on live prey... Someone referenced that 12/9 was a "practice run" for the FOMC day a week later...this has that same vibe.
