Just wanted to have a bit of fun with the 3 levels I posted this morning and show how the levels and the if-then-if interaction works on a ranging day and how it is pretty d@rn easy to make money in this business.
you do a very good job of making it look easy which it is. what you do best is in keeping it simple also which is why it looks easy

Multiple workstations, multiple internet connections, multiple connections to different datacentres and servers at my broker's and a bank of UPS's with 2 smartphones as back up. I am never cut out.

Are you running for office .... or head of the Fed. I suggest trading price action, not the news.
its ok. i made so much at the expense of the market

i feel entitled to gamble

thanks for looking out though

foreing capital is good to risk, my own i would be more careful.

trading price action is always the best way to go, but i want to anticipate the market so in therefore im gambling and if i lose 100 pips its fine with me, wouldnt cut much into my profit, besides, i would probably end up rescuing and not letting the market take it from me anyway.

That is such a rare event that I am not going to build that into my risk profile only to get stopped by silly spikes that happen daily. I used to have WTF stops in place, but did away with them as they were rarely triggered, this way I will have keep looking at the price while I am in a trade.

Rare been envolved in it loads of times. very memorable one was last year a 1000 point spike down on the dow. remember it hitting around 9850

GDP results often get 200-500 moves.

remember crude back in 2007 ish 300 pip 15 min candles

She still misbehaved a little bit here and there, she undershot my 50 to touch the DP, so I coverd that manually and she overshot the earlier 76 by a bit, and this last one she missed 76 by 7 pips with no retest. Knowing when it is slightly out of kilter just gives you a few more pips in profit and gets you a better price on the bounce.


It really is that easy on range days, I posted the 3 numbers here early, 50,62,76 and have played of them all day long. The bad part about days like today is that you can't scale into a runner as there never is one. The good bits are that stops can be ignored as the range takes care of that.

On the other hand that certainly hits any SLs, but might recover seconds later. With the new safety systems in place (see Flash crisis) that won't happen so soon either. I understand his point, but I will always put safety stops nevertheless, since I'm also having overnight trades where I cannot monitor it.

You got it, I am not going to build in an event that may happen once every 5 years only to have that safety valve get hit unnecessary many times over when it is not needed.

And one that dow spike last year, go back over my posts from that time, I actually made a killing.

Every good trader does that, just think about it. That's what trading is all about.

At the moment I entered long for the up side of the range it started to break down, but I was prepared since that happens more often than not with me, ranges just don't respect me, how do you know when this happens in advance? .

Am flat now and done for the day, it has been really good on the thread with loads sharing brilliant stuff here today.

None of the usual characters showed up and we got on with trading instead. I haven't called anyone a muppet here directly today, that must have been a first.
