basicly made a school boy error. On ES when there are two micro value areas close together then ES will take the middle of the two. I took my eye of the ball and took the first value area without looking at the one above. Once i realised it was too late. So i reversed my stop for the short of 31.50

 

31.25 being the price i should of shorted in the first place if i wasn't too busy eating a baked potato :)

If you don't mind me asking... How many minutes do you need to determine where value has developed itself?

 

Depends, it's an art not a science. I know that isn't the answer you want to hear, but thats how it is.

 

The way i see it, reading developing value in the market and trading on it is like teaching someone how to read the tape. You've just got to put the screen time in to learn it properly. It can't be put into a box

Survived that by the skin of my teeth 814 low (so far). I expect big rises next week. After a 1200 point fall, gotta go back to 12400 ...

 

You have to be open for everything I guess, but where would that rise come from?

Hey ho...

 

going into today, first areas that i'm looking to take a swing trade off are 1329.50 and 1319. From where the market is now i'm looking to short 29.50 and get long off 1319. If these points aren't reached then i'm just gonna be scalping of developing levels as usual. Graph below of the two levels on the profile.

Hey, sorry these aren't live, been having a big debate in the office with my brother about scalping and trend following... long story...

 

Anyway, had a long in C period just after the period opened from 20.75. The reason why i took it is because (as you can see on the chart) when we made the lows in the inital balance during B period, this market was swiftly rejected. Then when C opened we had over 3000 sat on the bid at 1320, plus with having micro value above in A period at 1324, chances where high for a move to the upside for the short of 1324. Bought 1320.75, boosted it for 2pts, then shorted 1324 for 2pts. Graph below. +6pts ES so far. Might call it a day.

    • 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.
