Late to the market today but what a roller coaster. Anyway, trading cfd on YM, in the same trade as you Pip. Looking for a 1:1 but will trail aggressively once price reaches highs due to strong PRZ (pink rectangle).

How about a live stream on Friday to answer all these question you all have. The market will be closed and we can spend time on Q/A on the chart. would you all be available for something like that or a video would work? I'm thinking I can answer questions that come up and it would be better. Let me know.

Yeah was too aggressive feel stupid but it is what it is. Looking to possibly short the ABCD completion. My goal was to trade it up but I chickened out. Stops are wide today which raises the stakes a bit.

I let that one go too much lemonade into that PRZ. I might be done for the day.

Yeah fully understandable, if I traded the same size as you do (and for a living) it would be tough to keep emotions in check and not give in when bulls struggled to get the move going.

Stopped out, managed to trail to 154 pips. Looking to short.

I should be able to make it, depending on the time since I got commitments for the afternoon/evening and live in Europe.

YM +116 ES +13.75 This opened just like brexit where I bought the open there as well. I was able to keep risk to reasonable size, if I was unable to keep risk realistic then I would not have taken these trades. Notes on charts {image} {image}
woooowwwww! nice. I think that covers you for the week uh? hahaha

{quote} On 1:1 completion. How do set your short profit target? Sorry to ask
Draw a fib of the pattern from A to D and your breakeven is the 38% and profit target is the 61.8 of AD.

On any trade if price starts accelerating towards your profit target then you need to extend your target and trail. Keep those expectations in front of you. Consider context and what is reasonable. Ask yourself what is price working towards.

In US ok, but not in EU. Believe me, my wife told me to pick up my child. If I miss it, I will be in trouble.

We can do it around the same trading time 0830 Eastern Time or 0900 will be more specific tomorrow. If it is too short notice I will just make a video and we can do a live stream trading session in a couple of weeks once the dust settles for the elections and all the crap.
