So why didn't you get short on G/J at those levels?

Ok, so I'll let you eat dinner. But that is the only reason I am letting you miss that one. Good job trading this morning.

Good, you got in GJ long — Now, you better show us that you reversed and took the GJ short when it got right back to the 134.

Since you have been reading my journal, you probably can guess my opinion on this trade. I don't think it was luck at all that you caught 140 pips. Good post.

Good Luck — I got a real good laugh out of your first couple of sentences. I shared the same lack of success back when i started trading. Good luck to you.

Sorry about that Idre, the "her" was referring to a part of the comment I deleted before posting. I originally had some comments about my wife in between those sentences, but I guess I missed that sentence when I deleted the other stuff before ...

If you look six bars into that upswing you will then run into 2 red bars. if you draw a fib there to the top of the green bar before the two reds you will see it just touched the 38 retrace on the second red bar. It didn't close below it, but we ...

You are in your "demo" period, so don't sweat it. It's good you pulled the trigger. Win or lose while you are in demo, you will learn something from this trade. And that is the goal right now. No, its not a perfect setup, but it could still work. ...

Where did you draw your fibs? i.e., what were your two points? Also, Idre just took this trade a few hours ago and you can read about it over in my trading journal. I gave her some thoughts about it that you might also find useful. Good luck on this ...

I wasn't offended by any means nor did I think you sounded rude. Quite the opposite, I looked at how many posts I was putting in your journal and didn't want to disrupt the journal as a place for you to put your trades.

Daily bar trading only (and maybe monthly) (1) Half position at start of new bar. Initial SL is at top of trigger bar, but sound alarms at 61.8 and look to dump at 70 to 78 retrace. (2) Full position or second half of position anywhere between 38 ...

I can only take you at face value since we are on a forum and based on my interactions with you here is my take and I'll leave you alone since I am probably getting annoying: You sound like I used to sound. "Have to realize profit at some point" ...

Sept 2010 — I am "suggesting" "very loudly and repeatedly" "based on my success" to try the 78% fib retracement as your floating SL until you get the trade going. The pullback after the intial 140 pips goes to the 61.8 retracement, again, this ...

Backtest — I am not sure why you are fixing your TP? It is the runners that pay for your losses and the entire reason you would open two trades to begin with. Lets take the Sept. 2010 trade for example. You could fix your TP at 70 pips or 100 ...

At least you are thinking about it, and that is half the battle. I'll be interested to see your future trades and take a look at what your initial SL and TP thoughts are. Maybe feedback when an actual trade is going will be helpful.
