NQ closed out at +36 ticks Obviously I left a lot on the table max profit about +72 ... I hope someone else caught the move.

 

A nice trade nonetheless - we typically have seen very few day traders land more than a handful of ticks here, and it is nice to see your success. 36 ticks on the ES would be 9 points - how many day traders have never once had such a profit on a trade. I'd bet many more have taken 36 tick losses than have ever taken a 36 tick profit.

 

Best Wishes,

OK I'll bite Long 6E 1.3125

 

SL 20 ticks

 

Not sure about PT

 

Filled at 1.3124

 

Update: New high on bar moving stop to BE -5

 

SL moved to -3

 

No new high SL moved to -1

 

I guess the good news is that I saved 19 ticks by aggressively managing my SL :)

 

Update Stopped out -1

6E "3 pushes to a bottom?!" Opinions?...

 

Not much loss of momentum on each successive new low, so I myself wouldn't view this as a "three push" pattern. That doesn't mean that a bounce is not immanent. But you asked for opinions, and my opinion is that 6E is perhaps mopping up the first of two or three lows before a significant bounce materializes. Of course, that is my opinion, and you know what they say about opinions.

 

In the end, the highs and lows will lead the way ...

added at 1.3322 and 1.3202 ...

 

That rally reduced an otherwise nice run to a small profit - +22, +12, +0, -10 respectively ...

 

We'll see what happens as EURUSD aproaches the HOD near the open ...

Hi Folks,

 

Time is running out to get our guesses in for TL's "Guess the Close Contest." We need 50 people to make the contest a go - and here we have 376 visitors today alone, and I know that this thread has had several thousand page views in the last week without hardly any new activity, so TL has many eyeballs but too few willing to "pull the trigger."

 

You know what happens to traders who are afraid to pull the trigger ...

As they say, "you gotta be in it to win it ...," and in this case, we need 50 to be in it for anyone to win it.

 

Go to the thread below and get you guesses posted soon!

Best Wishes,

    • ...hallucinates.... Student: “What if we gave the monkey LSD?” Guru: “The monkey already did LSD”
    • 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. Remember, sometimes what you throw in the garbage is something that someone wishes ever to have.” – ElZee, Quora   Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
