I personally use a program called Neuro-Programmer, it might be a tad expensive for some but worth it I think. It's like 90 bucks. It comes packed with sessions to help users deal with anything from addiction to studying. There are tons of sessions to choose from, all of which you can edit...

You mentioned you have a max loss for the day, does this also apply to profitable days? Do you shut down at a certain dollar value or is your main goal to trade well until close. How about targets? Do you scale out in relation to what you risk, try and ride it as long as you can, sup/res (daily...

Finished red but not bad considering I was -1K at one point. Took a couple big stops in SWKS off the open then finally caught the long only to pussy out 1/3rd of the total run up. EWZ was my saving grace today, GE and MSFT did nothing but make me mad. Didn't pull the trigger on ABBV at all today...

Shutting down early again, 2 small wins with openings and a decent short with MSFT.

Good day for me with discretionary trades, got out early on some. Testing the waters with some open orders, ABX and GDX were my only two fills. Held them all the way back to b/e but took off again for a loss.

Good luck, sounds very similar to my trading. Are you prop or retail? PETM got me as well today but lulu made up for it.

Awesome stuff DB, nice to see you posting again. Question though, wouldn't 9:55am area be a spot to exit your first long or scale out? If you had played it that way, when would you have entered long again? Soon after price bounced off 2903 or wait for price to make a HH?

THIS. If you have all your important stuff backed up on an external hd, formatting and reinstalling is a really quick process. The first time you do it may take a couple hours, but after the first time it will be a breeze down the road. I have zero antivirus programs except for the stock...

Personally for me it depends on the bigger time frame. If I see price has a positive chance to run after taking out the Previous High/Low then I may be inclined to add, take profits or hold. If we are at major sup/res I usually wait and see what price unfolds and make a decision based on that...

Gotta pay for that debt somehow.. http://pic.twitter.com/W10CYAcRED

New IB user here. Besides the summary list of trades and total shares traded, where do I find stats on profit factor, win/loss etc? Or do I need to export it to excel and do It myself? Does anyone use a 3rd party software that keeps track of it all for them? Thanks for help.

Added to my long here at 37.5. Would like to see this this pop to minimum 1450-1460 soon. Current average of 1431.5, Stop is at 31.75, worst I can do now is B/E. Hopefully I don't get shaken out

Exactly, what's his payout? 12 Million?

I agree with most that exercise is so important for mental clarity and dealing with stress. Meditation is very important as well and doesn't have to be spiritual at all. I don't relate it to anything like that, I simply take a moment (30 mins) to clear thoughts and concentrate on breathing...
