another unavoidable late start today. 2 trades so far & missed one

Only that 1 trade today. yesterday's 2 attached. Too tight a stop on first. Second waited for support to break to exit. Looking at TL break to signal exit earlier.

Here's my one trade so far today. Just waiting for FOMC now. RN, I've added volume to the chart :eek: You and Slugar are doing good work. I 've been trying to keep up.

Thanks for the post Skilluk. Over the 20+ years (the actual number makes me feel old :) ) i've tried a number of investments with mixed results. Spent a lot of years investing based on fundamental and technical analysis. My efforts in learning to trade since the start of this journal are more...

Fair. +4.25 NQ. Did a good job avoiding afternoon range (no trades) but should have taken a PB re-entry or two. Trading around HOD makes me tentative and that's where some opportunities were presenting. Let me know if you still want to see charts. jas

Thanks RN. Really a beautiful day for PA trading IF you can leave some biases behind. I did not. Fighting the trend too much. Re-learned a couple important things and actually gained more confidence in the methodology. All and all just an off day at the office. Not ignoring my mistakes...

RN, Thank you , great post ! And I got it all covered. It's just a matter of discipline from here on out. ---------------------- Hi KDA, good to see you. jas

I'm just here for the beer and free pretzels. This the right place ? :D

.and the journal continues. Going forward the emphasis is on discipline. With the goal a calm, objective state of mind the new routine will include: 1) Back to meditating on a regular basis. 15-20 minutes; minimum 4 days a week. 2) a free writing exercise each morning before trading. This...

How many times a day are you "eating"/juicing ? Juice over ice improves the flavor ,imo.

I too watched Joe's movie last year and ended up buying a juicer. At most I am juicing 3 times a week. Lately, once a week. I like it. It feels healthy and tastes surprisingly good. The big change for me was in December 2012 when I watched "Forks over Knives" about the health benefits of a...

Nice to hear an update. I've seen Marty's stuff on youtube. Looks like a good guy. In fact, tons of stuff on youtube. Type in a song name and "how to play" and good chance someone has a video on playing it. Also can type in, like, 'backing track A minor' and get some good stuff to jam...

Nice chart WT. That's how I've been seeing it . Although I've called the end of the C wave twice before :) This is third time a charm ? I'm thinking today should be beginning of Wave 2 and then the big wave 3 down.

Thanks, Smallstops. what stats are you looking at ? I may have them or have a rough idea. Feel free to PM if you like.

Hey Mac, I recognize some of those trades as ones I used to take. Here's how I see it FWIW and keep in mind I am not consistently profitable. That big bar at 7:04 with no immediate follow through makes me a bit cautious but the PB still offers a valid PB entry. The move into the DT...

About all I can add to Golden's perfect answer is that if I start my Ninja/IB platform later in the day than you start yours our charts may not 'exactly' match up. I've found the historical data can be a bit different to what plots in real time. I've noticed it when I close my platform then...

cl opens at 6:00 west coast time. try that.

There nothing to discuss . She commented on how she trades. Many times she has given extremely detailed explanations of how she trades. If her theories are fantasy to you then don't use them. Be a trader , cut your losses, go read another thread. Besides, the trades themselves are not the...

Thanks, ND. I was in that 10:51 trade with you , Sim though. (Scouts honor, 10:49 on the reversal bar & TL break. :) )

After an about 140 tick move I'd expect a consolidation or possibly a reversal. Price has also moved into TL resistance on the hourly so I'm cautious about longs. A possible long attempt at 7:21 stalls so then I'm looking at the hi/low of the 7:05 5 minute bar. If you're me you do nothing until...
