Care to explain why you entered at that point?

It looks like a break below the open price was a good short - there was a nice wedge with a flat level there, as well as that big rejection bar (the 2nd bar of the day)... curious what you saw when you did enter that you liked?

I believe that the starting price is the most important indicator of all.. If price is above starting price, I only think about going LONG. If price is below starting price, I only think about going Short. So in that case I was looking to go LONG when it shows nice bullish bar with heavy volume. However nothing really showed up until 9:43 when it went below starting price with huge bearish bar with nice volume



What was your parents reaction?

I keep it secret :)

Hello guys

I made 2 trades today

I bought at 1138.60 and sold at 1139.00 = 4 ticks
I bought at 1139.00 and sold at 1139.40 = 4 ticks

So I made 8 ticks x 35,000 won = 280,000won about $240

It is nothing compared to yesterday's gain, but at least I am following my own rules and did not lose any money!

Hello guys, I have made 2 trades today

I shorted at 1130.60 and covered at 1129.90 = 7 ticks
I shorted at 1129.50 and covered at 1127.80 = 17 ticks

Total= 24ticks = 24 x 35000 = 840,000won about $744

Now I have about 24.4K

Just for what happened on second trade, I should have made more money, but then I made a mistake. Accidentally clicked buying it back so it got covered on wrong place. Anyways I was making money so it was alright, but I was surprised and disappointed.

Anyways I am up for today so I am good to go.

Hello guys

I did not make any trades today because USD/KRW Future expired this coming Monday (April 15) so it did not have enough liquidy; therefore, I will be trading next month's future on Monday.

Have a nice weekend guys!

I bought it at 1125.10 and sold it at 1125.50 = 4 ticks

You'd better have a losing day pretty soon or I'll start to think you're related to Bernie Madoff ;)

In my Thinkorswim account, there is a /KRW futures symbol listed, but when I enter it in, no data comes up. If I drill into specific contracts, like /KRWM3 a chart comes up, but there is virtually zero price movement or volume.

hahaha good one. I think I will start losing once brokerage start charging fees :)

Right now when I buy and sell at the same price I lose like $2.. almost nothing, but when they charge the fee it will be more like $38 (fee is about one tick + $2)

Hello guys

I made 3 trades today

I shorted at 1123.10 and covered at 1121.70 = 14 ticks

I shorted at 1121.20 and covered at 1121.20 = 0 tick

Total = 23 ticks x 36000won = 828000won = about $730

now I have about 25.7K

Couple things I need to tell you guys. I decided to use trailstop of 5 ticks for exit.

Why? because every tick that moves in favor of you, will reduce the risk.

I hope this makes sense.

I didn't realize that I am 6th place in terms of most views within 90days!

I didn't know that people are interested in Day Trading this much. Hopefully what I am doing helps.

Curious about your first trade of the day here. Looks like you bought right at the open. All of your other trades have used the open price but waited for confirmation above that level, so what was different here that you sold right at the open level?

Hello guys

Yesterday, I did not make any trades cause I had personal business to take care of.

Anyways

Today was a boring day. No action except for opening bell trade

I shorted at 1120.00 and covered at 1119.00 = 10 ticks x 36,000= 360,000won = about $320

now I have about 26K

Actually, nothing was different except I am now using trailstop of 5 ticks for exit so I can pretty much get into any position with less risk. From now on, my holding period for holding position will significantly be reduced. Now what I am doing becomes more like a scalping.

However, principle is still the same, I buy when otheres are buying and get out when other people exit

Hello guys

Take a look at today's chart

http://img546.imageshack.us/img546/4800/4242013.jpg

extermely boring no volume!!

No trade for today.

I have something to tell you guys today.

I started blogging in Korean language (same content as here, but in Korean)

However, one problem I see is that I felt very comfortable sharing earning information here, but in my blog, my friends and relatives do visit. Although they do not know the existence of this thread, but I am afraid they would find it.

So from now on, I will not be sharing earnings information, but I will share how much ticks I made.

As soon as I reach my goal, I will stop this thread.

I hope you guys understand :)

Hello guys

As soon as I checked S&P500, I knew that today would be another boring day because simply S&P500 did not move

http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/1066/4252013.jpg

check it out

I should have shorted on top arrow and cover at the bottom arrow, but I thought it would not make that much of a move. I could have made 7 ticks if I sticked to my original plan.

My mistake, but still I have not lost any money.

Thanks, but I don't think I have enough knowledge yet to teach anyone, but I do not mind sharing strategies and money management etc.

I do not believe in coaching courses cause when you are successful at trading you should not make money from coaching courses. Trader should make money from trading not from teaching. Just my opinion

Hello guys

Take a look

http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/1424/4302013.jpg

Opening bell trade did not go well today. I got filled at low price so I lost 4 ticks right away.

But second trade went well and made 8 ticks resulting 4 ticks net profit.

Of course, this is not huge compare to previous gains, but I at least turned green.

hello guys

Two days ago I went to Samsung Futures Corporation seminar. One of senior manager told people that the company profit is declining because recently, volatility went south. I almost told him that it is because I have not made much trades :)

I thought it was my own problem, but I guess everyone was having the same problem.

However, http://img855.imageshack.us/img855/6169/522013m.jpg

Today 17 ticks profit!!
