DOW long 12230

 

promise I am not stalking you, but most of your trades seem to be triggered around the main pivot point, with a variance of hardly ever more than 10 points.

(on Dow and SPX mostly; havent checked others)

 

is that a coincidence?

 

(good calls by the way; I am sulking from two bad shorts on FX this morning; total losses amounting to -49.)

I think it probably is, because I've never used nor calculated pivot points... what other numbers do you have for today?

 

On the DOW I have 12230 and 12320, on the ES 1363.

Is everybody still okay with the way things are going here (as per posting live trades that is)?

 

I've noticed that there have been little live trades lately...

 

Just been taking some time out but back around now.

 

Happy to post...

I believe that a Live Trade thread should be just that...

 

Post live trades and perhaps a comment why you have done it.

I think you said thats what the aim was somewhere...

 

Back in T2W you seemed to enforce this much more...Here in fact there are many rooms to post different things in...with many more topics covered...yet on this thread it seems anyone can post anything...

 

If you are not going to post live trades to have your success and failures for all to see/share perhaps change the thread name to .."Trades and chat"

 

If it goes back to trade posting only plus a comment from all the traders I will start posting again..

 

However in good faith here is one from me...

 

a) Short Dax 6824

b) stop 40

c) reason looks very overbought... 12310 Dow strong resistance

Well, the purpose and goal has never changed and THIS is the only thing that should be in this thread is LIVE trades (indices). There are several other threads now to discuss or comment on anything else (The Lounge, Trade Discussion & Analysis, and Off, Yet On Topic).

 

I think most members have pretty much followed those rules, but I'll keep an eye out if there's too much chatter going on. There's nothing wrong with just a small explanation why you entered or exited. Everybody is free to report posts which they feel are inappropriate though, I can't keep an eye on everything at the same time...

 

Good trading.

Going to add a d) to my posts...the last 2 should have had a d) swing trade..that means opened with the expectation that , if not stopped out it might be held overnight and closed tomorrow.. Its done as a "contract" trade in this case June 2008

 

I will also post other trades denoted "short term" that might be in the same or opposite direction.. which although more than scalps (hopefully) will be trades that will be held for a hour or less.. and will have a correspondingly tighter stop... these will have a lower win loss ratio % than the "swing trades" and are executed as "rolling cash" trades

FW..comment "I think most members have pretty much followed those rules, but I'll keep an eye out if there's too much chatter going on. There's nothing wrong with just a small explanation why you entered or exited"

 

Totally agree... nothing wrong with a bit of chat / comment but if you are not going to be posting live trades you should not be posting at all to the "live trades" thread imo.

 

I would be interested on your thoughts on the above..

 

Basically why should I bother posting my trades if others are not going to post their trades / positions..?

Don't understand all this short talk. Dow futures almost static for the last 2 hours - there's massive buying demmand waiting on the sidelines after the noise (sorry 'news').

Opened a small long on the dow fut at 326 and a limit long at 303.

 

Limit to close 400.

Just to add - people aren't hedging against the news - the ftse is at the days high 25 mins before housing AND ppi - they just dont care what the news is...

Well it clearly wouldn't be fair towards those who do contribute, but by first impression most people who post do actually contribute in the live trading aspect. But we'll keep an eye out for any 'infractions' for that matter and everybody is free to let us know if they are issues, but perhaps best to continue the discussion in the other thread "Off, yet On topic".

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful.
