Not a good week. -19.25 pts. Primarily due to poor results on Mon & Tues. Biggest problem i see is i'm not capturing the bigger trends of the day. Too many trades just flat out not taken or missed and several trades exited too early. My win rate is too low, IMO, at 35% Next week i plan...

Today i was tired so i was looking for excuses to avoid trades. Too bad as there were lots of opportunities. Even on my fully rested and ready days i miss too many good trades. I think this comes from my practice of trying to not over trade. When i began trading I tried to limit myself to 3...

Thanks Cl ! Are you speaking of the Dbl Top around 8:20 ? If so, I was on a break answering email. Did see it after the fact. dang.

The exit. Trades like these i'd love to be able to scale out of. LOD was a logical target to exit which i did not take. Overall pleased with my entry and for holding as long as i did. I gave it every chance to go lower and exited based on a decent read of PA.

This trade is worth posting i think. Pullback in trend. I did not feel comfortable entering and questioned myself after filled. In general though i think it's a good entry. And not just because it worked this time. Sell is at far right edge. next post will have the exit

Hooti, Thanks for the update and well wishes. Feel free to post a CL chart here if you ever get the urge. I'm curious about CL but will stick w/ NQ for now. I'm using one monitor. When i get around to buying a longer cable i'll try two. Right now i flip around to different charts. It...

Nice job. Inspiring. Thanks for posting.

Hi xspurt, I've read your moon thread which is why i posted the link. I've also read some your old posts on other sites and i look forward to more. thanks. Hooti , nice to see you're still around. and speedy recovery to you leapup. My apologies if i'm too much off topic. Back to lurking.

Nice job Snowrider !

My goal this week was to approach each trading day rested , focused and with a positive attitude. Seems that i should be doing this all along but i've noticed there are days when i trade despite not being in the proper state of readiness. Part of the attitude i'm trying to develop is the...

Thanks CL. I've been reading it and admire his professional approach to trading. I'll give it another look from the beginning. Don't think my wife will let me emulate his life outside of trading. Have a good weekend and thanks again.

Damn. I didn't have a good feeling going in today. Attitude is everything and i need to bring it every day. Confidence and patience. -7.50 pts today, +5.25 for the week. Taking trades late in the trend, bad stop placement, bad reads. Amateur mistakes IMO. I'm currently reading...

Usually my daily goal is to just focus on taking good set ups and exits and not worry about the daily PnL. This week i decided my goal would be to be profitable every day. With lots of luck- so far so good. Even if the gains are small. The drawback to this is that after getting my acct to...

Looking for a bottom likely sometime today.

Thanks Guru! Good to see you're still around. Good trading to you !

1st full week back trading; -4.50 pts Missing trades is leading to taking higher risks set ups. Today 1st trade was good. Then I got too conservative and missed a trade i was waiting for. Long story short went from +4.75 to +.75 for the day on 3 trades. Should have been an easy + 10 day...
