Got stopped out for a six tick loss. Was this a bad trade, since a possible double top? 我在10号K线的低点买入,目标是赚取两点的短线利润。结果被止损出局,亏损了6个点。由于可能形成双顶形态,这笔交易算是糟糕的交易吗?

Also, a lot of Time & Sales is garbage. TradeStation , if you’re looking at Time & Sales, you’ll see, “Oh, 17 contracts, five contracts, 27 contracts” — they’re not showing all their contracts. I don’t know if they’re just showing the market order contracts, but they’re missing a whole bunch of contracts. ...

Make $1 million a year? 一年赚100万美元? Yeah. I can tell you that it’s real easy to do it too fast. Everyone wants to make $1 million a year, $5 million a year. Once you start trading well with one contract, three contracts, five contracts, you think, “Oh, why not 500 contracts?” And there are many factors involved. The biggest one is emotion . Once you start making pretty good money, you have to decide quality of life. You only get one life. You know, I’m 64 so a lot closer to the end than to the beginning, and I want to enjoy my days. So it’s simply less stressful not trading huge position sizes anymore, so I trade what I need to trade and I make enough money, and I’m happy. ...

Since V-bottoms do not exist. I thought a test of the low, or at least the trading range, a higher probability. Would you explain why V-bottoms do not exist? 我在11:30卖出了原油。由于V形底不存在,我认为测试低点或至少测试交易区间的概率更高。你能解释一下为什么V形底不存在吗? Video duration: 4min 28sec 视频时长:4分28秒 Video transcript 视频文字稿 V-bottoms not what you may think V形底并非你所想的那样 V-bottoms are almost always something else. Just because I say they don’t exist does not mean the market has to continue down during breakouts. It’s similar to what happened to the bulls and to the bears in the Emini as well, right? Whenever I see a bear trend like this and the market’s 20 or 30 bars into the trend, and then I see the biggest looking bear bar of the entire screen, you have to be asking yourself, “Okay, that is an important bar. It’s probably either going to be an exhaustion bar or a measuring gap.” Which is more likely? Ok, that is the question: “Which is more likely?” And always, always, always Exhaustion Gap is more likely than Measuring Gap. It can become a Measuring Gap, but it’s more likely to be an Exhaustion Gap. ...

For me, the single biggest change was — I don’t know how long ago this was, probably 20 years ago, close to 20 years ago. I just decided that having a chart filled with indicators , and using a whole bunch of different time frames, and — the main thing is the indicators. Indicators are constantly overbought when you should be buying, and they’re constantly oversold when you should be selling. And I know, personally, my eye kept getting drawn to the indicators and away from the charts, and the indicators are just based on the charts. They’re just ways of measuring how many bull closes in a row, how big are the bull bars? How many big bull bars in a row? How many bear closes? How far are the bear closes below the prior bear closes? ...

In general, a trader should try to risk no more than 1 or 2 percent of his account on any one trade. And when you first start out, you’re going to be losing all the time because you’re going to be making all the mistakes that everyone in the history of trading makes for the first several years when they start out. After they make the same mistake 20 times, they start making it less, and then they concentrate on all the other mistakes, and eventually you get through all the mistakes and you figure them all out, and all of a sudden you start discovering that you’re not getting the drawdowns anymore. ...

If the market is going to move one way or the other and it’s doing so with enough force, it doesn’t matter if an institution enters two bars before you. For example, let’s say the institutions bought above 8, it does not matter if you buy on 15. You’re still going to make a good living, right?. Over here, it does not matter if an institution bought above here (24) or above 28. If you buy on 34, you’re going to make a good living. ...

While writing the Emini Weekly Update this weekend, and with the Emini at such an interesting position going into the month end, Al wanted to address a common question on “Why would the institutions fade the bull breakouts we have seen?
