Yes but in my case, this does not move the profile-- tell you what, can you post a screen shot of your profile configuration? Mine is also set to 3 period like yours, but yours is acting like my other profiles which are already completed, whereas mine is acting like the "current" profile. I'm sure this makes no sense, but would you mind just posting a shot of the profile config? I would greatly appreciate it

Thanks, that did the trick -- had it set to compute only 1 (current). Duh!

I will buy 49.50, stop 48 to 48.50

edit: as of this moment it looks strong enough that it may not come back that far, but if it does, I'm in

Re: Day Trading the E-mini Futures

Hmm. Personally, if the market shoots one way then comes back quickly, I wouldn't necessarily take the trade. Really to confirm strength, I think it needs to get back into the upper dev(probably above 52) and maybe break high. If it drops back below 50 from here, I'm not sure that's a good sign. I could of course be absolutely wrong though.

One point I should make is talking about trading while you have a trade or are going to take one can be difficult. I think many a trade has been held too long or not taken because of talking to someone else.

No I'm not distracted don't worry . I was just saying in a round about way, I don't want to affect your personal trading decisions as you trade!
