Hi Matcha, I think you did very well today. The most important thing was you identified early on a bearish day. You were persistent in your SHORT trades and were not distracted even though the first 2 trades didn't work out. The other 2 SHORT trades that followed was the reward from your...

Hi Matcha, Yes tomorrow! The market will be there for you! You did good spotting the setup at 12:37. My trading today (1 single trade) - took me till around 8am p.t. to determine the market was in a slightly bullish mode. The 30 minutes and 60 minutes charts confirmed upward MA(s). PA...

Hi Matcha, This sums up your excellent work for your 1st trading week in 2011!!!! Congrats! I feel more relaxed too by simplifying my trading strategies and narrowing my setups. Have a great weekend everyone! --po P.S. Thanks for reminding me that there will be no trading on...

Hi Matcha, WELCOME back! And you did great on your 1st trading journal for the new year. I really like your new 2011 trading plan, particularly: - "goal here is really to master one setup at a time, trading it well to make profit" - "focus only the one setup(not 2, not 3) to trade it...

Hi Matcha, A positive week for you with high winrate! Congratulations on reaching the 200 pages mark for your journal! It has been highly inspirational and very helpful! Thank you. I deeply appreciate your sharing. Have a great weekend everyone! --po

Hi Tomahawk, Thank you very much. I wasn't aware of that. I just tried it in my SIM trading :D :D . It worked! I placed a SHORT trade with a preset bracket order and have the box checked to trigger the trade outside of the RTH with initial protective stop and profit target set. BTW, I...

Hi ALL, SIM Trading - My testimonial..... First of all, well said from both sides. Also, I would like to say there are no myths spreading in this journal. To me, SIM trading has it's rightful place in "learning" how to trade. When I first started, I took the "advice" to trade...

:) :) :) I sure hope so, partner! I was watching only. I did not make any trades. IB won't let me place stop loss orders overnight. It's hard to stay up all night to monitor the open trades. I might try later to set up some price alert with "siren" alarm to wake me up to trade. :) :) --po

Hi Matcha, I am pretty sure you will be there! You had a decent PnL today and a 100% winrate. The bulk of the action happened overnight and pre-market. I was tempted to be a night trader doing some trading last night. :) --po

Hi Matcha, No need to say sorry! :) I have my fair share of typos too. I appreciate you spend the time to document your journal after a long day. Getting up before 6:30am is not easy. :) Thanks for explaining the H2 setup. I would not have spotted this. You did a great job taking that long...

Haha! Sis ~~~ is always young and beautiful! :) :) --po

Hi Matcha, Excellent 3-for-3 trades today and you made your daily PnL goal! More of these to come! :) :) In your Trade #3, you mentioned L2 Long set up. I think I only saw a H2 Long setup using a microscope on the 1 minute chart at where you had the up arrow. Was that the case? Or was that...

Hi Sis ~~~ & Matcha, The whole world is admiring you two!!!!!! Have fun in HK, Singapore, Japan, TW, Korea & wherever you will be! --po

Hi Matcha, Hehe! I didn't trade either today! Rule #1: Remember to set your alarm clock! :) :) --po

Hi Matcha, I agree with you that there are more than 2 choices when making a trade decision, other than going LONG or SHORT, the 3rd and sometimes better choice would be NO TRADE. You are right that in the long run, by not taking those "iffy" low probability trades can have a positive impact...
