That's a bold trade right there. You might be buying a super strong selloff here.

I do not particularly like trading stocks in the afternoon.

I usually do not initiate new futures trades after 2:30-3:00PM EST and will not trade until close to Tokyo.

Other than that, if I'm awake and my computer is on, I've come to trade.

Best Wishes,

Thales

For me, football season is over, and the rest if mere formality. For those who still have a dog in the fihgt, good luck!

Nice, hopefully sellers can push it past the 1.4121 area.

Price trading to the magenta line would be my cue move my stop to break even. Tough call, but rules are rules, so break even on the stop it is.

Re: Reading Charts in Real Time

I thought I would finally make a post of a trade, just sorry it is so late, I got filled and it was time to put the girls to bed.

Anyhow, I included a picture of the trading platform showing this is a real account. I had some ill timed problems that took my account way down. Soooo, I'm having to use Massive Crazy Clown Car Leverage to trade, and if I get two trades in a row wrong, that will probably end this account.

Why am I doing this, hopefully to show what I've learned from this thread and that using patience and waiting for the right trade will do. I may only have a few trades a week or less, but if I make money, that is better than trading a lot and losing money. I'm not picking on anyone, just talking from experience

So thank you to everyone on the thread, wish me luck, cause this small of an account I will need at least a little!

Good trading,

jands

BTW, I will work on the colors and and labeling the entry and exits on later charts. Hope you can still read them.
