    The MES trades were my hedges for the ES risk reversal. Wish I didn’t get sticky with them and closed them all at the same time. Then again, I wish I held the whole trade until this morning. My diagonal ES trade is dead. No more asking why: After a pre-determined threshold against my idea is hit, close the damn thing and move on to a better idea.

    Good catch. It was over that whole issue with Jigsaw and Axia Trading. Baron I'm convinced flipped a switch and my account was unusable. Everything took forever to load when I was logged in under that account. Creating a new alias fixed the problem just fine.

    Why are you posting your trades in this thread while you have your own journal? You also post in the ES journal. You might have to buy a robo for acceptance.

  5. I wanted to show the CAD trade. Why would you care where I post? Why aren’t you posting trades in this, or for that matter, in any threads? And no, I don’t need to buy a robo for acceptance because I have you, sweetness.

    1.319. Gain of 132 pips. Barrier at 85/160.

  7. Most impressive. Especially since you stated you were short at 1.3240 and the best price prior to your post was about 1.3192, a difference of 48 pips.

    Before I turn you in to Buy1Sell2, you care to explain this discrepancy?

    Cumulative, dump truck, and back on ignore you go. Price was bid 89 when I posted. I remained short 5MM to hedge the 1.32 barrier and was out of the 5MM on the barrier-touch. I shorted the full position again at 40.

    what kind of money is represented in the above DXY chart. if the DX moves say from 99 down to 98 how much money is represented by one full contract. I assume this is on forex. I know that with most forex currencies the value is $10 per tick. but I dont know the dollar value of a move in DXY.

    thank you for your educational assistance here.
