Please dont judge my trading habits. It was a question. I dont usually go to different brokers. I have a reason for why I am with 2 different ones. Thanks for your attempt though. We all learn to trade through our experiences. So if you want to talk about how I trade, throw some of your pointers instead of having a negative tone about my trading. I have specific way's I trade. You do not know my trades, why I trade them and how i trade them so your understanding of me only understands what you see not what you don't know about me.
sorry ..

the issue with large spreads and slippage at time before the market opens is all to do with liquidity in the markets. It is thin and this causes some crazy moves and very choppy pa .

sometime the depth can dry up on the bid or ask and this is why the spread suddenly fluctuate

One way for us a average joe traders to try and avoid this is trade within normal market hours.

I did not mean your trading habits were bad ... that should have been a more global we . I love the volatility today but have sat on hands till I can see where this is going .... and I have also been watching my spreads and pa on the charts fluctuate alot over the last 60 min .

I'm curious, but since when es have 10 ticks by points ?
I always thought it was 4 ticks by point ?
es is $12.5 per tick per contract , so $50 per point per contract , so you are right it is 4 ticks per point

atr21 was 15 points until Mid last week when things went nuts

Thank you I do appreciate it. Trust me I love the volatility also it makes things so predictable. I have had quite a good help here on this thread from a few others to really point out any mistakes I was doing. Sometimes I get ahead of myself and that is bad, Patience is a hard lesson learned.

the hardest lesson

sometimes you just want to trade without waiting for nice set up or direction to show itself

sometime you miss a trade and then rush in and before you know what hit you you find you are on the wrong side of the market.

I still make these mistakes weekly and have to keep on telling myself in the back of my mind .. ' be patient another trade is just around the corner'

good luck this week , looks like it may be another crazy one

I don't have 8hr charts bro.
2 charts 8H for you. Notice how we're nicely below the 200 sma (purple line) in bear territory since late December 2009, and far from a reversal (closing above 200 sma in bull territory).
Anything can happen, but... I wouldn't bet much on the long side, until a clear trend change. But that's just me.

Yep agreed, like I said I think it reached the low last week its going to be a bit crazy above that, as markets are so unstable. I would say alot of ranging, but more bullish ranging meaning we will see increased s/r levels and more ranges between those levels. It will probably be quite predictable long's and short's for quite a while till one side just dominates. But really who knows which side it will be in the long run. Fundamentals are so screwed up anymore lol. Honestly I would like to see the eur recover it would create a bit more stability but they will have to come out with some pretty hefty press releases.

Just step back and take a deep breath. I used to care now I just look in here about once a week. I get a good giggle or three and go on my way.
