Initiated a long position in the ES toward the end of the day. I missed the setup when it occurred (and you can barely see it on the chart) so instead of entering at my customary number ending in 0,...

Crude oil

Although I don't trade crude, here's a cherry-picked but totally accurate example of what my method can do in a sustained trending market. This is the April CL since last week. Just like with the...

Midday update

Currently long from 1270 in the March soybeans. With a move up to 1280 this morning, this allowed me to move my stop from 1260 to 1270 thus insuring at least a break even on this trade:

You should get a notification in advance. If you're still in that day, and it's a physical product, hopefully your broker will just close you out. That's what mine did once when I was holding natural...
