Nothing wrong with a weekend-hold on a small position, but I would never do it with any kind of big leverage. When sentiment is really negative and price is pumped up on Friday's close in such a rediculous fashion, it's kind of an obvious gap down ...

DOW Futures

Agree on the fact that it's most likely going to test session lows today at some point. Range I see is 21,000 to 21600. It's struggling to get up and above the "lid" as I call it. Sideways since 9am. Sitting right ON the VWAP right now. If I short ...

S&P500 trading

I've cautiously been trading this volatility. In and Out quickly on futures contracts due to high swings. Price is at Thursday and Friday's low, hitting resistance and fighting to keep this level. I would like to scalp and tiny long between 21335 ...

S&P500 trading

He's a total idiot. His idea of a trading thread is to be confrontational to everyone, about everything. He's lost over $2 Million on his account. Basically I was banned from his lame thread because I wasn't "trading his way". If I posted my trade a ...

S&P500 trading

Carpe diem: Intraday tactics for Dax and Dow

Delta, that's good you went flat!!! That's an old rule to be flat for each weekend. I also want to put money in for long term, but I'm waiting before I buy up stocks. If you are coming off a loss, just check your emotions: ask yourself if this is ...

Carpe diem: Intraday tactics for Dax and Dow

Spot on. This is not over yet. My longterm outlook is to wait for Dow to be sub 20,000 before I throw everything into the stock market longterm positions (no leverage, just going long on a basket of stocks for 20-30 year holding). Best thing I have ...

Carpe diem: Intraday tactics for Dax and Dow

I personally know a guy who took 5k to 190k. He traded a bit in FX (eur/usd) and in index futures. So I know it's possible! Looking forward to hearing about your trades, good luck you can do this!

$100,000 from $5,000 using 10 lot trades in EURUSD

I agree Catempire. My day to day has been scalping both directions, but I don't think the selling is done. For long term, I would like to pick up stocks at a much deeper discount especially considering that this virus is only getting started and can ...

Carpe diem: Intraday tactics for Dax and Dow

Re-read my post quick, do you see why I'm slightly delayed in posting? If you still don't get it, I'm also distracted taking care of my baby boy. So chill out with referencing "rules". I'm guessing you have NO clue what it's like to care for a baby ...

first short around 25650 and covered around 25560, re-shorted 25550, covered around 25500. I'm sure I've left money on the table. probably could hold these shorts a lot longer but my son has surgery coming up and I prefer to be flat if distracted. ...

Carpe diem: Intraday tactics for Dax and Dow

Bought 3 lots at 29150, sold at 29300. Always undershooting targets with this volatility. Big short term R @ 25703. Tempted to short, but definitely am not playing longs in this area. This was the gap and now it's filled, so I would expect heavy ...

Carpe diem: Intraday tactics for Dax and Dow

I never realized there was weekend hours on saturday and early sunday... looks like a CFD chart I'm looking at. Yeah I totally expected a gap down for sunday night open, especially with the news of the first death in the USA over here. It's pretty ...

I also took that long before seeing your post! was long at 26,330. Closed out half too early, and closed the last half again too early around 26,400. I took a long right before opening, a scalp, and got out with 20 points... Wanted to short, but ...
