    Hey my only goal was to discuss the NQ/ES long tonight, which i've manage to grossly mishandle by going in only one position leaving myself with few options and also by exiting early...... but still a profitable trade, so I will not complain too much.

    Other than that I will take full blame.

    It is between you and noob I reckon'. I was just providing the context of how he might sound to you if you did hook up on VOX with him. :)

    Seldom 100% long,Trdes;
    cause on some, get a dividend back.LOL Actually war tends to be bullish/buy when there is blood in the streets. On 5 minute chart anything can happen .Since ES was designed for trading, getting no dividends can be a trading hint also. My name is not Blair Hull, I told ZG horner. But like Blair Hull noted; be long on any exchange shutdown........I pretty much disbelieve 100%/95% of the news; IBD+ most WSJ charts are different.:cool::cool:,:cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool:

    And some can spot patterns early, much more early than others. They asked the large Chicago RE guy, many decades ago, you want to buy the WTC/NY?? NO; he said its a target+ that was when they hit it just once. Most trend followers like me require 2 points of data, 2 years, 2 decades. But he knew it was war, with just one attack.
    I like the Carl Ichan idea;
    don't get in a hurray about moving, but NY high taxes prompt a southern, much lower tax move. And I would never sell airlines just because of disease/news; they are such a weak sector, sell them anytime+ forget the dividend.LOL............................................

  6. Isn't it crazy that something so fundamental is so weak constantly???

    I genuinely don't comprehend what you're saying. The trends / patterns / deviations however you want to describe it that I trade are the same on a 30 second charts as 5 minute as daily. It's just the expectation of move / atr of move is bigger or smaller depending on the chart.... The markets are fractal... although most people on here disagree with that from what I see.

    OK, I chose to live in a low tax area, even if commutes/trades are a little expensive.
    But I like a 50 day chart+ research much more than 5 minute chart , with slippage every 5 minutes. And I use market orders some, so slippage can be worse, but i'm not complaining.:cool::cool:,:cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool:

    Pretty close the +0 on the day I think, can't quite tell where the close was on my chart last night.

    News can change plans ofcourse, but H1 looks weak, no buyers too much fear expect a down day tomorrow.

    They only appear Fractal if you hide the time and the value, then they look the same, how they react live and trading is a totally different animal.
