Frank - much more than I care to talk about here. Those involved know what's been going on and I'm just completely turned off by TL right now. It's too bad b/c TL was a great place at one point (I've been around for awhile - lol) and now while it has grown and I realize that's good for James, way things are handled has changed and I don't need the hassle when I am trying to help the overall community.

That's too bad. I've enjoyed your postings here as well as those on the ZB and AN.

Perhaps the "moderation" issue will be resolved.

just another daily blog update as usual. I haven't covered the sell off, but there's a couple of screen shots and explaintions of two trades you could of had today.

I hope people are finding the blog useful

Boost!

868 - just so you know, posting a link to a website that is off of TL and where a chat room is being promoted could be frowned upon by the moderators around here. If your posts start to become moderated, you'll know why. Just a friendly heads up.

bath - I've noticed the winners appear to be for 1 tick and then this big loss. In the spirit of discussion and helping each other, I wanted to provide my feedback - which is, you can't take 1 tick on winners (and only 1 winner) and then let one losing day wipe a big part of those other winning days.

I'd be curious to hear what causes the winners to be 1 tick and the losers larger. If the goal is 1 tick, are you sending your exit order immediately after entering the trade or is the 1 tick gain something that happens after being in the trade for a bit?

My point is that if your goal (intended or not) turns out to be 1 tick, then I would just get my limit order out there to get 1 tick immediately. Hopefully your platform can automatically do this for you. If the goal is not 1 tick, but it turns out to be 1 tick most days, then it's something you need to work on IMO. If there's specific questions you have, feel free to post here, start a new thread or PM me and I will give you my email addy and we can discuss there.

Thanks for wanting to help. My problem is totally psychological. My account is pretty small and I get pretty nervous when in the trade.

I also really hope the "moderation" issue can be resolved.
In any case just want to let you know that I really appreciate this thread as well as all the material in the forum....

Nice easy trade this morning on a long on the ZB. There's an excellent chance that I got out way too soon though.

Also wanted to say thanks to those that sent PM's and posted here. Didn't realize so many were watching my posts.
