Tough to post 8 trades with various profit taking points and adjusted stops within less than 8 hours of trading....just can't be done...especially in this market. Swing positions are different.

Tea,

I completely agree with you. It's virtually impossible to post entries/exits for daytrades. I post entries or exits only for my hourly swing trades. I do 3 or 4 scalps a day on futures and i don't and can't post them. It's just not possible.

Ok I see that.. sorry Nav, I didn't mean you were a fade. Today I have marked as trend-day down, and any pop or ANY bull trying to buy this (by my analysis) would get run over. That was all I was trying to say.

Lol, you could have said that in a straight way. Anyway, no problem, let's just forget it. I missed two scalps typing all this. Now back to trading.

"Its only good for ego for the most part"

I disagree. Placing real time trades can bring credibility or maintain credibility. Some folks here may have plans to start a service or may already have a service and want to demonstrate credibility. For someone like me, I have no such plans and it makes no sense to place RT trades but i do pay attention when others do. It takes alot of courage to place RT trades and even more to come back and talk about a busted trade.

That all you got today? So far I'm got 11 round turns today. I think I had 17 yesterday. But we've got a couple of hours to go. Great market.

Just came into this thread on this last page but, I certainly second these posts. I only trade the day and while I take breaks and look in here or do days where I don't trade that much, mostly it's impossible to post trades and I wouldn't begin to try to get into that distraction.

While the desire to talk any of you into paying me $300 for ten minutes of my time on the phone (only $500 for a half hour!) is a great pull I can't deny...I just forego it and keep doing my thing.

Who said I could be talked into it. J edit: Especially by a guy who trades naked outside on a hot day.

I'll never live that post down.
I know what I'll call my service if do it..."Naked Putz"

I'll tell you one thing, I'm not doing it today. We've gotten eight inches of snow here since early this morning and it's still coming down.
