Very true, ending in green is best. Thanks RMG, you also have a good weekend buddy. I've been browsing this article all about algo trading, interesting stuff. url

Boo, not the best day. But hey came out ahead and I have stuff to do I got scared on the tripple touch of support 24020 and closed 1/2 my longs after the bounce. If I chase this, I'll ruin my day, I can just feel it. ...

DOW Futures

Yeah you are right! Price was really sticky. I was buying lows after the open and almost got pinched on my longs and I took 1/2 off at a small loss then pulled through on the rest. There was huge buying at the 24140 area, lots of 5/10/20 flying off. ...

Are you ready to trade again? Demo trade at least. We just had news at 730 with a nice volatility spike but direction is still flat past few hours. I've got no bias and the open is in 3 minutes !

Calling it a day. Finished by 11am. Unemployment claims are up I thought, but lucky for me I don't trade the news. Market is rallying upwards on bad news, which I expected. The unemployment claims are just a "lagging indicator" ...

DOW Futures

Finished up around 10:50am with last trade being a short. Would be up +200 on top of this gain if I didn't take trades in pre-open (I'm not suppose to take pre-open trades...strict rule, broke it...) I knew it would be rangebound/choppy, so at the ...

Real money? I suck at being a mentor, but this stuff happens to the best of the best. My best advice is to take a break, breath, and figure out what caused the loss and then after that try to "digest" the loss and move on, without forgetting the ...

It was a calm & easy day. Was done by 1030am as usual. From 9 to 10 it was a solid range for scalping with sellers trying to absorb as much as possible. Around 10:05am price was fighting back and forth with my divergence alert triggering in both ...

What happened? Don't let anyone at FF get you down in the dumps mate. This has been the only thread that is somewhat positive, so don't let anyone send you running away. Ignore em!

Good trading RMG Calling it a day as of around 10am. Sideways sloppy grind PA isn't my thing really. Looks like it could take off in either direction but it would be smart to wait for it to first make the move and confirm it before jumping in. ...

Great videos RMG. Always like watching the Jigsaw training videos. Watching the first one you posted on Market Dynamics. Training and improvement is a non-stop game for me.

Calling it a day after less than 1.5 hours of fun work Broker didn't get rich today but he still made a profit which is good, everyone deserves to earn somethin! Everyday should be this good, and it's ...

Thank you !! About $50 is the broker's commission. The remainder are the exchange fees. If I lease a seat or buy a seat, it drastically reduces the exchange fees by more than 50%. I came out with nearly $200 today after commission and I have never ...

DOW Futures

Woke up late, traded 845 to 1030 and then went flat, in anticipation of market volatility due to FOMC. Order book sweeps, stop run/liquidity run etc. I get skeptical when I'm buying higher and higher, so my positions get smaller to adjust for ...

DOW Futures

I agree with the longs being valid still right now, although I give more wiggle room for longs at this price point. Movement will be slow for a little while, until suddenly it jumps, during crazy hour, 1-2 hours prior to closing. The sleep was ...

DOW Futures

I took your advice on sleeping. Then I almost didn't wake up! Rolled out of bed 5 minutes after the opening bell The short was obvious and today I was able to stay on the right side for immediate profit Now I'd like to ...

DOW Futures

Lol, the evil golden Algo! I was just watching Bond last week. Woke up early and caught a small long just now for +$54 and exit. Time to fire up the Algo heh

DOW Futures

Clocking out for the day!!! Closed the longs slowly but probably too early, probably leaving money on the table here oh well. Not the best day ever, not the worst. Considering how I got burned on my 2nd short? This is a FANTASTIC finish. ...

DOW Futures

You might get your downside roll if they pull crazy hour manipulation tactics. A big if though. I couldn't hold my longs beyond my target of 24,020.

DOW Futures

I traded open to the short side, exited at profit, re-entered a short, exited at loss at 9am to flip to the long side. Watch that big round number... Sellers are just trying to absorb this, signature is there for sure. Neither side has won, so not ...
