What's wrong with getting stopped out? You don't complain when things work in your favor. If it is a good entry, take it. If you think retest is better, take that.

I am only speaking about intraday trading ES emini. All these trend traders would always say these dumb-ass counter-trend traders are throwing money at them to create this huge trend. Where do you think that money is coming from? They took it from the trend traders previously. It would be...

Last time I checked (1/2 yr ago), they don't have TIKI (for Dow) on IB.

At least your dog keeps you from overtrading.

For your information, I was never hard on myself because I reentered at 1297 just before I run out the door for work... but I consider that a gambling problem.

Obviously you never even review my entries before you make the judgement. Most of them ARE trend entries. OK I don't need this. Last post to this thread.

I used to feel like I am in a quiet place when I trade well but this journal introduces some noise and I have to shut it off and kinda go autopilot. Maybe it takes some getting used to but I don't even feel like I am getting anything out of it.

Looks like the last trade would have worked out too which I have to close it early to go to work. Nothing goes my way today. I am not continuing with the journal because it took away some of my focus. Good trading everybody.

Buy at 1296.75. Done for the day. I have to go to work. Total -.25

Short at 1297.50. My last trade of the day.

If they don't have better pullback than this, I am done for the day.

Well I actually reverse my direction but forgot to change stop menu to limit.... thought I have my order in all the way down on the air pocket... Now that really hurts.

Stop out at 1302.25. -1 pt

Buy 1303.25

I don't really look at the range other than taking profits but I am not in any better position. I think the ES reverses quite a lot and that the reversal traders acts like piggy banks to hold onto the money once they have been conditioned enough, the big move (strong hands) will take back all...

Hi Michael, Do you trade trend or open range breakout?

I miss the morning open trade at 1305.50 and kinda of throw me off after watching it worked out... which leads to poor entry at 1304.75. I have to be less compulsive (worry about missing actions) for any chance of survival. :( I am done for the day because I don't feel good trading...

Buy 1303.50 +3 pt Total +2 pt

Try again at 1306.50. If this doesn't work, I am done for the day.

Stop at 1305.75 result of poor entry -1 pt
