OK just know that whatever price you want to enter via a setup is the price you enter at

{quote} Except when it isn't. Using limit (or stop/limit) is the only way to guarantee a fill at an exact price, assuming the fill is available to you.
99%of the time when I enter with a stop or limit order I get filled at that price the other 1%I may get slipped 1 tick on stop orders

Hi "Divergence," I just discovered your thread today. It looks like it's been going almost 5 years(!!) now. Gotta be doing something right!. I think I'll start from page 1 and catch up. Thanks!.

Well, Blimey O'Reilly : over 20 posts about the blasted spread - to which I am adding lol

Now, more seriously, any of that delicious Christmas pud left (I've only added a pound or two over the the last few days, so I want MORE, please...) ?

Not trading this week as the spreads are probably wider than usual...

Hahah, i thought everyone is hibernating and eating chocolate, but that was not the case

I am going to spread some butter on Panettone and keep on sleeping till second week of January. BTW - jtrade, have you tried panettone with ham in your trips in Italy. Just bumped on that idea and maybe trying it, next year!

H BTW - jtrade, have you tried panettone with ham in your trips in Italy. ...
My dear friend, td..... ham, moi eat poor little piggies !?

I'm a Buddhist-sympathising, Advaita-loving, pescatarian Presbyterian... which is a long-winded way of saying that, apart from being Scottish, in terms of diet I'm vegetarian + fish (just can't say no to sushi & sashimi...) & haven't eaten meat knowingly for 40 years - I once ate what I thought was a delicious wild mushroom pasta sauce in Switzerland : turned out the "mushrooms" were sweetbreads & I still don't want to know what they really were... (tasted damn good though...) .

Well, that was an interesting, relevant post from me - but I didn't use the "s" word ... see you all next week .

was able to grab 17 more from hat at 86 short not bad made 60 ticks today or 120 with 2 contracts. there was plenty to get today unfortunately I would have needed multiple strategies to get in. I also missed a short pullback entry at 03 by 1 tick or I would have cleaned up

been examining the 1 minute chart also similar setups and it might be easier to enter since its based on time not tick count

you have nailed it today!

have few questions, hope you don't mind explaining so that I can learn.

I think I marked your entries on the picture attached correct. Why did you enter 1st trade - we were in a downtrend. Do you generally use New York midnight to establish whether we are in down or uptrend?
