Tampa, If the Quah Technique, errrr, i mean the new tampa technique doesn't cut the mustard by Friday, you might want to give Ken Roberts a call. I hear he has some really good stuff out there for traders that is... uhhhh.... is effective an appropiate word? www.kenroberts.com :D H...

Yep. Planning on going live again real soon, but not sure if I'm gonna pick the journal back up. Been working on reading price action, discipline, and not cutting off my winners. Thanks for asking traderkay. Good trading to you. H

I own the book. He does not cover any specific techniques at all. The book trains you to look at the market a different way. Thru the eyes of a warrior. He is a master/trainer in several of the Japanese martial arts, and he looks at the markets thru those eyes. If you are looking for...

You want to understand the dynamics of the markets? Sit in front of a 1 minute and a 5 minute ES chart, without any ma's, indicators, s/r lines, BB's or anything and just watch how the price moves without having any opinion on why it is happening. Just watch and observe. Then, one day it...

Good Trading today, 40yo !!!!!

a Ken Roberts booklet in my mailbox :eek:

and most are consistently unprofitable. His point exactly. H

This is a question another trader and I have been discussing for the past several weeks. This is my attempt to paraphrase a quote from him. The markets have their own reality, and many people fail because they are ignorant of that fact. They do not want to find out what that reality is...

Many thanks for all the kind words from all of you!!!! I am still alive and trading... well... watching "naked" 1 and 5 minute charts to learn price action. No ma's, indicators, s/r line, nothing but ticks up and down all day. By the time the end of the day rolls around, I am ready to take...

Journal are a lot of work, and can be hazardous to your trading. :D :D :D :D H

Dear Friends, I have made a decision to shut down “The Evolution of an E-mini Trader” until further notice. In a nutshell, AAA hit the nail right on the head referring to my "issues", and easy said something several weeks ago that still sticks in my craw about trading with scared money...

9 trades, 3 wins, 3 losses, 3 b/e for +3.75 pts Total for the week is 24.75 pts, adding in commissions is just over 20 pts net profit. Next week I trade real $$$ again. Using hard stops, and hard target limit orders. Have a great weekend. H

Me!! Issues!!! :eek: Is it that obvious? :eek: ps. I still owe you a pm. It's in the mail, as soon as I get some of these darn issues worked out. :D :D :D

Traderkay, I agree with you that every system will have it's drawdowns. As you probably know, my system is trendfollowing. While I was finding my niche, i was going from the 1, to the 3, and now am at the 5 minute chart. These progressions were due to me trading the noise, and not the real...

4 trades, 1 winner, 1 loser, 2 b/e for 3.25 pts Much better discipline today. Waited for the trend to show herself, and traded accordingly. Did not trade the afternoon. Even with yesterdays lack, I am still up 21 pts for the week. H

13 trades, 2 winners, 9 losers, 2 b/e for -7 pts. This, boys and girls is what happens when you don't follow your plan and think you can catch the trend before it is established. Stupid trading day. After T13, called it quits for the day, and off and on watched a beautiful trend develop...

8 trades, 5 wins, 2 losses, 1 b/e for +13.75 pts Tweaked a little more this morning. Did not get to do one add, although i could have on easily on T8. Did not trade over lunch, or in the afternoon. Saw some setups, but was absorbed in some other projects, and had to get ready for class...

8 trades, 3 wins, 2 losses, 3 b/e for +11 pts.

Went over the whole plan and threw everything out and started from scratch. Got back to the basics and simple concepts like trend following, and entering on retracements. One thing new I am incorporating into the plan now is making one add while in the trade, so my full position is 2...
