08/25/2011 Intraday Watering

[trader0303]

Switched to Tradestation a few weeks back, and haven't been able to short SPY (not on the easy to borrow list). Is this normal for Tradestation? It's frustrating trying to buy an inverse ETF-- they don't correlate very well I'm noticing

short it using the S&P e-mini, it's very cheap to trade.
i scalp about 10 to 20 trades a day using ES.

That's what I'm going to have to do....however I'm being told I have to fund an entirely different futures account. I'll work on doing that...thanks

I trade the /es, I do not scalp, but I heard /es is by far the toughest trading instrument for very short time frame by multiple reports.

most professionally traded...apparently.

are we getting a breakdown here again? new low on the 5 minute.

measured move target, I don't believe this target, but I think it's not too much to ask for at least testing the green line below and a little bit break it.

[MajorEasy]

for me ES e-mini is easy to trade, i've had 20 consecutive winning scalps many times.
my main trick is "Don't be greedy".

[q2model]

critical time, anytime revisits the previous extreme there's a chance for reversal. let's wait and see, I'm clueless now, need see market actions first.

Why do you think the higher high after today?

[cougar]

Shorting IWM. Target #1~67; #2~66.2-66.4

[newbie_77]

from the high of 119.40 to 116.00 so that's 3.4 on the SPY.. are we gonna get a bounce up now?

[MajorEasy]

are pretty pics allowed here?

[v1stock.com]

30y us t bond, i want to short, but don't fight the fed.

odd ETF - FSG - long gold short spy - 60min. filled gaps

fade the gap day trades are working.

SMB - new high - short muni bonds, but not California muni, it turned up, also PG&E, when GOP left. odd, same as us market 2009.

[Me XMan]

ES 1144 is coming and after that...1110.

[uempel]

Update:

[Cobra]

testing the green line as I expected, unfortunately, it's RSP leading down which implies that the selling is broad based. Let's wait to see how bulls defend this support.

I did the same.....stopped out

Cobra, I shorted TZA at 11:30 am this morning. With such a move down today, would you advise holding overnight or taking profits and closing EOD? I realize the decision is ultimately mine, just looking for your experience. Thanks in advance.

Oops! Meant to say I BOUGHT TZA -- not shorted! Sorry.
