Mr trend,
I'd luv it if you made some videos of futures and options,
your thread rocks.

Also wondering do you hedge every trade in futures with
a option, or do you only do that under certain circumstances?

Only if the trade is a swing trade. Sometimes I will see a 1H setup and I'll take it using standard stop placements because the real advantage of using options as a hedge is that I can take advantage of the option as a wasting asset since I only write them and don't buy them... if I were to hedge with options on a 1H timeframe, I'd be out pretty quick and would still be ok, but it's just more to mess with if I'm in and out over a two to three hour period.

Basically, I use options for their convenience. When you are set with a stop, you always worry about that damn thing getting hit. But if you are simply hedged somewhat with an option, you go to sleep at night easier, because you know that any increase in volatility is not going to affect you at all...

I'll explain this in detail when I do the videos... thanks for the nice comments.

I spotted this Daily pin setting up off of 618 Fib retracement...

I just entered off of the corresponding 4H pin that just formed... so this is a pretty good setup...

sell @ 1.0126 SL 1.0213 TP 1.000

No idea. Kinda disappointed that one turned out to be a loser. December usually sucks... you just get this erratic, no follow-through movement.

Basically, after the 2nd week of December, you might as well close down your trading platform and take the rest of the year off.

I was good until yesterday... now things are feeling weird... I think I don't want to be in any trades for tomorrows NFP.... I was leery of the adp number yesterday.... wasn't even close to what was predicted... makes me thinkg numbers are just being pulled out of a hat to suit whatever the need at the moment....

I would think close to CHristmas there is little volume which would mean perhaps bigger swings and moevments... don't know if that is good or not...

Yeah, this whole week so far has been crappy, except for this Nasdaq mini trade I'm in.

I hate December and I hate NFP week. Why traders still give a crap about a number that gets revised every single month is beyond me.

Nice stuff Mr. Trend! I hope it all works out great for you. The videos were great by the way. Well, I only got to watch the first, and I liked it a lot. The second is on my list for tomorrow.
I dream, therefore I become.
