Scalped short pre-open, then flat, then shorted again after open, obviously could have held a bit longer oh well. Paused trading at 9am to see if yesterday's NYC sesh low would hold, got in 2-3 tiny long scalps around 9:30. Cumulative delta is in ...

Sometimes I feel the same way (do I really need it?). The platform I have for order flow is called Daytradr, by Jigsaw. Best thing I like is the cumulative delta count which shows if there's an imbalance of contracts by constantly keeping track, by ...

Hang in there RMG! Always OK to stop when you get hit a couple times in a row to prevent revenge trading. Easier said than done, I know myself! We have the drive to fight and hit back especially when our chips are down. That's a cool cheetah. I ...

I may have mis-quoted my commission rate, but I believe my total round turn cost (to enter and exit combined) is around $0.62 PM me for the broker name and I'd be happy to share. I'm not trying to advertise them at all, but I'm really happy with my ...

Hey RMG, does your broker hit you hard with commissions on Micro lots? 120 micros would be $25 for my commissions

I learned my lesson from yesterday, so I am DONE today with a nice enough profit +93 futures on DOW and +63 from ETF ticker UDOW (swing long from yesterday afternoon). Stress free day today. Best of luck to you all

Goldman and Jim Cramer both think we won't retest 18k lol. Citing historical performance is their "evidence"... Yeah and the Titanic is unsinkable! My arse ha! Might not hit 18k again, but it could surely come close to it. Today I'm looking to be a ...

This is going to be embarassing... I REALLY over-traded today badly! but I must be honest and post. Ended up throwing in the towel at +$40 How did I churn over 450 contracts today? Silly Barely came out ahead. ...

I'm glad I don't trade evenings, it looks like a coin flip right now to me, but I do have a swing trade betting on 22,400 sometime this week. 23,210 right now is a fragile looking support level on the smaller timeframes. I try not to get into the ...

Some people will end up better after the pandemic than before. Although the emotional trauma is taking a toll... I knew of people who died already. Not sure how I maintain my own personal sanity, but whatever I do is working very well I guess. Woke ...

Good short RMG. I played it all wrong but managed to come out ahead nicely for the day. Clocking out now FLAT, and eating lunch. Poss right now that it will lose some steam and be a good short - bids feel like they are drying up at these levels for ...

GOOD CALL! I use to trade all hours if I saw a setup, but then I flipped over to only NY session. The whipsaws at the open are nice if you can grab a few ticks without emptying your stomach Goodluck today RMG

Always OK to sit out or quit if PA is messy or feels "off" Especially as a scalper like us. PA today was tricky. My son wasn't with me today and I smashed the market today I did better than I usually do, very pleased. Zero ...

Looks like it was a good day for us! I hit $128 for about 3 hours of work then stopped. About +$300 this week so far, yes we need this money right now! Can't afford to waste/lose on silly mistakes personally. Then this afternoon I loaded up my swing ...

Hope your trading went well RMG Woke up with target daily profit due to holding etf DOW longs from Friday to gap up today. +$120 on ETF and +$40 scalping first 2 hours. Around Noon today I was tired of slow up-grind PA so ...

DOW Futures

Was a messy opening, for sure. I tend to scalp much faster first 30 minutes. Made enough real money to quit for the day. Intraday trending downward as you stated. Reversal traders trying to call the turn right here, right now, but who's buying on a ...

BigMike forum is a great place. A lot of old pit traders in there and pro guys. Pit trader are incredibly diverse in many ways. Most of trading is psychological. I cannot stress this enough. Indicators are background info for me. I do use a few ...

Wow seriously? People are committing suicide ALREADY? I understand it's hard, but I have been in worse places in my life personally. I'm not very religious, but here's a verse that comes to mind, as to build internal strength during hard times, ...

Yup I remember your short call back in Feb to D1, as he was losing $4 mil. But yeah we got banned, go figure, because some people can't handle the truth. I'm here for the community. Different ideas and positions are great. No reason to ban someone ...

Dude, you'll be swimming in profit from those Puts soon! Good work. Options are really fun for me and I still have much to learn. The rewards are great when you're right. I trippled my money on some CGC calls back in December. Hard to pull that off ...
