I was hoping to start this day off on the right foot but couldn't get the follow-through I wanted. 1. Decided to short as we traded through the opening low of 1137 (NQ was in clear downtrend). We bounced on low volume at S1 but I reset my stop too early out of nervousness (for what reason I...

Wasn't able to extract profits from the market but I know what I need to work on. 1. Was late witht the entry and should have been short near my Pivot. I realize I need to tweak my entries a bit. Short 1134.25 @ 10:47 EST Cover 1135.00 @ 10:57 EST Stop: 1135.50 Target: 0000.00 P/L...

Bad start and poor finish! Placed too many high-risk trades outside of the daily plan without a real signal. For some reason I wanted to be right today. 1. Short 1140.50 @ 09:43 EST Stop 1141.75 @ 09:48 EST Stop: 1141.75 Target: 0000.00 P/L: - 1.25 2. Short 1140.75 @ 09:55 EST...

Are you trading live now? I mentioned this before, but Yes. I am surprised to see that you don't use an indicator for divergence anymore. Please tell me why, ELABORATE! Subtracting my stochastic indicator from my charts has helped my trading immensely. I know longer depend on it to turn up...

No trades! Posting chart for future reference.

Thanks! I've been wanting to get this journal going for some time now. As to indicator divergence, that's no longer my primary signal. Actually, I've been reading a particular thread here, along with researching and experimenting with different techniques to see what works and concluded...

Cool! Well, I should tell you my progress is relatively slow since going completely live in February. I mentioned before that I'm still learning what works, slowly adding new techniques and subtracting extraneous stuff from my trading. My ultimate goal during this beginning process is to...

tradersavvy, I need to!!!! I've been wanting to do this for some time now but haven't pulled the trigger (sounds like my trading :D ). I'm going to post later tonight and hopefully I can maintain it for the next 30-90 days.

boris1985, Trading is great!!! I'm actually doing a lot better than I initially thought I would since completely going live in February. As usual, I'm still trying to find out what works for me as a trader and I've changed a few things but for the most part I'm still learning...

Flashboy, Why? Well, it’s easier to pull the trigger against the trend when you’ve conditioned yourself to do it, especially if that’s your main strategy. At one time, my only signal was against the trend via a price-indicator divergence setup. After losing more than winning, I...

cwjcntr, Samsung 19IT's a close 2nd? A buddy of mine uses EIZO LCD's but he paid a hefty penny for them. I found the Viewsonic LCD's to be high-end models. In addition, they're affordable and are equipped with DVI-D signals. I'll consult with my friend this weekend and let you know his...
