4) The poorly-patterned Ascending Triangle at ABC has rising lows at 1, 2, 3 (upside PO 1963, downside 1803)

Adam Parker says 2414 for 2014 - now that would put me in the sweet house. So like this is fah eva.

Was looking for a reason to enter the markets today, couldn't find one.

What was your entry price?

Potential for another short-term bounce, check out the spike in volume off IWM overlaid the W4500 chart. This is the largest volume over the past month with the 3rd largest daily volume over the past 6 months. As always...confirmation is needed

Where is that in relation to the W4500?

This morning, price was rejected at levels I expected, this market is fighting tooth and nail for every square inch of price. Although I have plyed this month very well, it won't mean anything if I screw it up over the next remaining days.

Alright, I'll be nice and give everyone 5 minutes notice

IFT EoB today 100S

[maverick06]

Ill bite. Its a bold move, but I was tired of being out of the market....

i think mine went in at 1158 maybe 1159.......... good old NMCI.......

gotta get my money back somehow... I butchered the begning of this year with agressive vigor... been doing better since then, still way at the bottom of the tracker after a bad bad start.........

You've made it, I've done plenty of ITFs at 11:59

Yea, I really don't see a great setup, sometimes you have to attempt to see things before they happen and accept the risk that it may not work out. I'll tell you this, I'm not in love with this IFT and will lose no sleep punching back out tomorrow (if needed).

 

[Bill3438]

Well I think you'll/we'll do OK, you haven't failed me yet.
Thanks

Yup.

If you have a cell phone whose time is regularly updated via your carrier its pretty much within 1-2 seconds of the nuclear powered Naval Observatory Master Clock.
I once hit the "Send IFT"button" about 10 seconds after it hit the top of the hour deadline, and the trade still went thru.
That seemed to indicate that maybe "30 seconds after the top of the hour" is the real cutoff.

You NEVER want to cut it that close, my issue was that the TSP.gov site timed out and I had to re log in. (lol).
A good tip on that:
If you've entered your IFT on the GOV site a few minutes before the deadline but want to watch "price" up intil the last minute, then go to your .Gov site and enter a space bar key back and forth, or re-type your IFT once every 2 minutes to keep the site from timing out (which is done for your security).

Over the past few days we've seen some hesitation at the 1885 level, I'm fine with that, today is good for the pause day, thunderous Thursday tomorrow...

Right, 12 o'clock doesn't technically end until 12:01. 12 o'clock sharp and 12:00:00 are a different matter. IOW: 60 seconds.
