It was fun, hopefully it may have benefited someone in some small way...who knows. Thanks again for the kind words and all the best to you.

Huh ?

It is honestly very discretionary as I admitted on an earlier post a page or so ago. Looking back over my trading I have always traded better using discretionary trading vs. trying some set of hard fast rules and indicators that everyone uses and mainly uses in the same way....again this is...

Spooz Top austinp Spydertrader AMT4SWA Anekdoten ProfLogic I have probably missed some but reading posts by those people contains quality info IMHO. Also, everyone on the P/L thread as seeing people on there improve and post huge numbers is very inspiring. Some people say some people...

Net Gain +$66 on 4 NQ trades, 1 car each. Traded OK today but not pleased with one of the trades when I sold for +2.50 when I should have just gone to breakeven at that point as per usual and would have ended banking the typical 4+ points on winners. Equity trades were good, banked some on...

LOL....no I hit the wrong button, blank reply was accidental :D

I came to ET to try and gather more information etc regarding trading. I have def been influenced by reading certain peoples posts in ET and have found this resource a tremendous help. Lots of junk but lots of quality info as well IMHO (isn't that life in general though :D I have always told...

Not sure what fees could really get much lower. I am pretty sure that if you are building large size then brokers will be willing to 'work' with you on lowering your all-in commish per car......all this talk of large size is so far down the road that I don't really think about it at all at this...

I want to stay independent. If you can make a great living trading your own money why deal with the added stresses and hassale of managing OPM. Never say never to anything but I really don't see trading OPM as something I will be looking at doing within the next 10 years and more than likely...

I have read tons of books, spent years in front of monitors watching price action, had a couple of mentors, etc.....bottom line IMHO, you kinda have to go through the experiences to eventually find your groove.....I still have a long way to go but IMHO it is something that is very personal and...

Looked at a few share bars between 300 - 1000 and decided that I could see things best with the 400vb......never change it unless I have a look at after hours (which I rarely do).

Oh ya, that just happend to be the scale at the current time....the scale does not stay fixed like this as I said before I will zoom in and out as I feel it is needed to see the relative action.

Cheers for compliments :D As far as the 'scaling to one point' I am not sure what you mean. I will actually scale in and out during the day depending on the volatility and depending on how far I have to look back to see the support and resistance points etc

Guess it all boils down to if it works for you.

Graduated with a degree in accounting, passed my CPA exam in two attempts (failed tax section first time around). Huge into sports and staying fit, enjoy some good partying as well. Not going to set a daily profit goal just going to trade what I see in front of me; however, when I get up $200...

Correct, everything is just a guess.

No one knows anything for sure in the markets, if you did I would expect you own your private island by now :D

I would classify my trading as making the best guess I can, setting a stop, adjust stop and profit objectives by attempting to read the price action but knowing all along that it is all a guess anyway....anything can happen and usually does.

On a pullback no one will know exactly where the best support / resistance area to enter is so I try and make the best decision based on price action showing me that the pullback is over and I should be entering.......like I said before the price action may have not shown me this until it has...
