Not sure how you did, but the chart is posted. I'm probably not incredibly easy to predict since I'm trading around my job. I guarantee I would not make the same decisions if I was sitting in front of the screen watching the action non-stop. I'm not saying it would be better or worse, just...

1st: LONG (7) Tried to catch LOD on volume climax at prev day's low. Changed my mind since action seemed kind of flat after entry & exited early. Later on………whoops………….that was the low of the day. Sort of messed that plan up. 2nd: SHORT (-10) Anticipated DT on 15-sec chart &...

1st: LONG (0) Retracement after HH on 1-min chart. Turned into a triangle. Broke downside, but saw 60-min support, so stayed in. Pretty lousy entry. Almost stopped out. Stop originally 10 ticks, but increased to 20 ticks (my max) below 60-min support line. Later after moving stop tighter...

Thanks for the suggestions. I started my trading from the yellow box. The other arrows are from the previous day. I don't get up early enough to trade the open (unless I'm trading real money). I usually start about 45 minutes after the open. As I improve ( positive thinking...

It "should" have been more like this if I had managed things better. I don't understand why I fall apart every so often. Profitable trading is pretty much impossible if I continue to have these "disaster" days. 1st LONG Anticipated BO, not terrible, just a losing trade. -10 Ticks...

1st LONG HL in trading range after TL broken. Anticipate BO after multiple tries. Failed to breakout. Stopped. Should have exited earlier. -10 Ticks 2nd LONG Buy low in trading range. Overall price direction is up. -8 Ticks 3rd LONG Broke down out of range, but rejected the new low...

1st LONG I call this the fake right shoulder trade. When H&S has little right shoulder but then runs the other way & makes a higher shoulder. 1s shoulder is a fake. Missed target by 1 tick, then seconds after exit target hit (and more). 2 Ticks 2nd LONG Long on 2nd climax bar. Exit way...

Definitely makes sense.

1st LONG Retracement. Limit order at congestion/support area. Tried to break out 3 times & failed. 9 Ticks 2nd LONG Support level from 10-minute chart. Test of swing low 1-min chart. Gave up on it, seemed to be stalled. 11 Ticks 3rd LONG HL within the range after a small shakeout...

I like that Al Brooks guy. Makes a lot of sense. I've read it before & understand it & own one of his books. Now if I could just follow everything I know & make good, logical, calm, patient decisions I'd probably be ok. The mental part is what's getting me.

1st LONG Retracement. Wimped out & took an early target after swing high was taken. Felt frustrated from starting off with losses past couple days. Rookie mistake. 10 Ticks 2nd SHORT 2B 8 Ticks 3rd LONG Retracement. I changed my mind. Feel like a little more chop will come after the...

1st LONG Bought after 3 pushes down & violation of swing low & climactic volume on an uptrending day. Obviously not a good enough reason. Exact low-tick on exit. -9 Ticks 2nd LONG HL/DB at support. Price seemed dead, turned back down. Exited. -2 Ticks 3rd LONG HL near support. Price...

For next week: Make sure when I anticipate something happening, that I see price give some kind of indication that it may actually happen before entering a trade. At one point I bought a downtrend on Friday over & over & over, but there was no good...

I didn't mean I'd live like an Indian killing elk & making my own clothes & going on spirit quests. By shack I mean a somewhat modern but small, simple place like a cabin, or even a very small inexpensive house tucked away somewhere. So I just need money for normal living expenses. Money...

1st LONG Bought 1-2-3 reversal 15-sec chart, after price failed to take out 1-min swing low. Turned back down though, so exit. -5 Ticks 2nd LONG Tried the same thing with a more obvious 1-2-3 reversal. Turned back down again. -4 Ticks 3rd LONG Try again. Obviosly I'm overtrading again &...

November 7th, 2013 1st LONG 1-2-3 reversal 15-sec chart. After pin bar on 1-min chart. Turned into 1-2-3 on 1-min chart. 11 Ticks 2nd SHORT Continuation trade after 15-min supply line held & 1-min demand line broke. Had nice gain, but it evaporated. 2 Ticks 3rd LONG Small triangle...

November 6th, 2013 1st SHORT Price kept finding resistance at top of range -4 Ticks 2nd SHORT Climax bar 14 Ticks 3rd SHORT Anticipate double-top 15-sec chart -12 Ticks 4th SHORT Climax bar, climax volume, 15-sec chart 15 Ticks 5th LONG Continuation 1 Ticks 6th LONG Bottom of...

Thanks for the chart. I was racking my brain wondering why & how DB went short at 8:58 & how he made so many ticks. It just made no sense to me. Obviously I misunderstood his post.............didn't realize he made multiple trades. I should have had more coffee today. :) By the way...
