LOL. Yeah I'm jealous of trading the SPI in a 10 lot, instead of 300+RTs on the Bund and USTs. The SPI is like watching paint dry imo. I can be skeptical if I want, this is ASF after all. I hope she does well, good luck to her. I simply asked her if she could post her Summary page from NT, as that is more informative of her progress, to which she dodged the question like she has most of the important questions, answers them in a round-about Julia Gillard style.

My response to that post about being positive that you quoted was me personally, hearing someone say they're going to buy the dips and sell the rallies is of no "positive" use to me whatsoever, I can pick up any "Turn 50c into $9,000,000,000,000 in 3.5 Seconds" book if I want to read that, yet she accuses wayne of not providing anything to this thread.

I don't think it comes from jealousy, stacks. There have been numerous people who have lumped their systems on to ASF and sometimes it is eventually discovered that they are not always who they appeared to be.

"once bitten twice shy" is probably more the sentiment behind the questions. Anyone can jump on a forum and claim to be making trades. No matter what claims are made by an anonymous person on an internet forum, the reality is that other posters don't know if real money is being traded, if it's a demo account or even if it's just a paper trade.

TG's screen shots could also be generated in excel. Not saying it is, but it just raises questions. If it were an IB screen shot that many of us would recognise, I think that would help settle some doubts, although even then, one wouldn't know if it was a demo account.

I think Trembling Hand was questioned until he showed one of the mods his trading statements and they verified that he was the real deal. So, unless TG can somehow validate her claims, the trades will probably remain as ficticous as her nick name. Not putting her down, just stating reality when so much remains unknown on an internet forum.

Yeah fair enough, understand what your saying. But TG's trading does not impact anyone else at all, as far as I can tell, so why be skeptical or negative. I enjoy seeing people making right calls and making money (even if it may only be paper or demo money)

That's my hard stop -10.

As you can see the trade direction was right but I have to protect myself.
It was actually the high so far....

You haven't answered the question. You normally exit a bad trade for a loss of > 5 points, and in a shorter time.

You're still not answering the question. Why didn't you close when you were 2 or 3 points down, as you usually do?

I'm looking at an extremely bearish market more so than the last 2 weeks so I'm happy to let me shorts run against me to -10 as I beleive I will end up with a profit.
Which nearly happened...If I'm not overly bearish I would have cut that to a smaller loss. My trading decisions are not driven by "black box" rules they rely on what I see at the time in front of me.The hard stop is the only fixed rule or decision I have.
 
Looks like are going to test the low 4450's area that has been support--- if that gives way it could get real ugly to the downside.
