I thought about this some more. Instead of attaching a regular exit stop, why not attach a trailing stop? Such as, if you are trading the NQ,...
I was wondering if you know how to build an order like this with IB: ------------------------------------------------------- Sell 1 contract...
Thank God!!!! A dull market can put me to sleep. I don't want to miss any action if it gets "un-dull" if you know what I mean. Plus that type...
Off topic: Does anybody know how to attach an exit stop order to an entry stop order with IB? Meaning if I wanted to place an order like...
Oh yeah, my chart for today. The most recent up trend line isn't confirmed at all yet. It's just something to keep me focused on the reactions....
I did some work on the numbers for the ES. Db uses 2 pts to enter, 5 pts for initial stop, and 1 pt for lrl/lrh for the NQ. This is basically 4...
Looking at today's trend, I noticed something. You pick what I would consider to be "breakout" times to enter. Meaning if the trend is made up...
Db, Is this similar to how you fanned NQ this morning? Also, I put an arrow on the chart pointing to where I think you may have entered. Is...
Also, let's say the ES today turns into what seems to be a head and shoulders top. As a reversal opportunity presents itself (if that happens),...
Db, One more thing. In this hypothetical ES trade you took this morning, you would have put your initial exit stop a pre-determined amount of...
Which was just a few minutes or so after the nexus of the universe this morning. ;o) I think today has really helped clarify your strategy in my...
Db, I'm also wondering where you would have entered ES this morning (if you were trading it), and why you would enter there. My guess is...
The S&P has reached a larger time frame road block. I was trying to explain the concept earlier. Here is a chart of what I mean. It's not...
No I'm not familiar with fanning. An explanation would be great. I marked a less steep general direction on my chart. I look forward to...
Db, Today has been a good example of a trending day. Up in this case. I put a slope line on my chart that is quite steep. It sounds as...
I see. I don't think anyone knows when the trend will end. Sometimes a larger time frame than the one you are trading can offer clues, but it's...
This is true, you must use market orders. You could trade items with sufficient liquidity to help curb the fear of paying too much. Another...
I think it depends on what rules you use to trade. For instance if you were a trend trader, you could say that the black line on your chart...
The Bears won. Banker Have a good weekend everyone.
It's too bad I have to leave again. Everyone is trapped as far as I can tell.... Banker
