2 * 25 ticks on the NQ? $250/contract per day will keep the bill collectors away lol

Are you saying you shouldn't have taken it because it was a 123 thrust to the downside, but the reason you did was of the previous large blue thrust up and swing top (prior to that) acting as potential support.

no all those candles were inside the big blue one I saw demand without looking at the structure

I've always thought that the biggest obstacle to trading success any of us face is fear: We first fear the loss, so we either don't take the trade or we move out stop to BE too soon and make nothing. Or, we get into a profitable trade, but we fear "losing" our profits, so we exit the trade early and then watch it go to our profit target.

The best anyone can do is follow Mark Douglas's advice: Learn to think in probabilities and trade in sample sizes, and distill one's trading methodology down to a set of mechanical rules to take all the discretion of entering and exiting your trades. "Technical analysis turns the market into and unending stream of opportunities to enrich ourselves," Douglas said. But only if we conquer fear first.

Dumbf*ckers if you ask me.... They did the same crap about email address with me. Being an ethical asshole, I foolishly admitted that "my wife owns everything and has access to everything to own since I live in California... a 50/50 state after I die" and all hell broke lose. Without any reason, I get a auto-email saying my application was declined. The fucking moron could not understand a joke nor did he (or a she... i don't remember) understand a definition of a WILL as part of my estate planning. I tried to explain to them a 100 times what I meant but they still would not budge. They forced me to submit a new application as they could not undo a "declined" application. I am still pissed at them for how I was rudely treated.

One thing I learnt in regulated futures for sure... Compliance is VERY powerful (but retarded and anal with just about anything!). You don't mess with them as they won't give two shits about how much volume or capital you bring in. They take their role very seriously and rightfully so.... which in a way, gives me relief. Regardless, they already have 2 strikes. One more moronic attempt and I will tell them to fuck off and take my business elsewhere. I don't assholes around my life to feed off my trading costs. They can all burn in hell if they can't treat their customers well. The likes of TD Ameritrade, Fidelity would roll a red carpet welcome for a guy like me :-)
My local branch manager still calls me when I visited him to discuss ThinkOrSwim back in September :-)

EDIT: Interesting, they did not ask me for any documentation like 401K statement. I would have instantly told them to f*ck off. How much funds I have in my bank is none of their business when their minimum account balance requirement is only $100 per CME regulation. Apart from loans and mortgage, you should never share anything else. Either they have to take your word for it or simply walk away with both middle fingers up in the air !
Staying in my lane...

Great on the demo ... too bad about AMP. I trade with AMP, and I Used to trade with Infinity years ago. My only problem with Infinity were the commissions were a bit high, and the font on the Transact DOM was uncomfortably small and could not be changed by the user. I'm sure you'll be fine trading with Infinity.

The most important thing about trading is not who your broker is, but what goes on between your ears.
