CL, your comments are always welcomed and appreciated ! On the long trade i was seeing the 9:30 5 min bar as a 2B buy signal. Fined tuned the entry off the 1 minute. When it failed to quickly take out a res level i exited. I saw that sell signal a few minutes later but just didn't have...

No focus today for some reason. Tired i suppose. Frustrating as there were lots of good opportunities but i just wasn't reacting quick enough. My exits have been less than ideal this week. Too focused on target and not current PA. Exited a couple trades too early on minor pullbacks and...

Thanks CL ! ----------- Dealing with ambiquity is a big part of the traders learning curve. Today i stalked a trade for awhile waiting to see which way it would break. My bias was to the upside and PA clues were there confirming but i failed to act. (about 10:00 am 2705 level) I think...

I'm back. Today i opened my Ninja trading platform for the first time since January. I've been working my real job (taxes) six days a week and have had absolutely no time for any trading or study. Over the next week i'll be easing back in to trading. Reviewing my trading plan , my notes...

Adding to winners is new for you isn't it ? Nice. i haven't put that in to my trading plan yet but expect to this year. i'll be back trading in a couple weeks.

Hey Snowrider, I'm counting it different but same result. Should be turning lower. thanks for your posts !

bot a few apr 505 puts on aapl @ 2.88 looking for 540 to exit some nice count . hopefully this 5th wave doesnt extend. looks like a possible exhaustion gap yesterday on hi vol too

Your conscious and subconsious are not aligned, in my completely uneducated opinion. Do you do any visualization exercises ? Do you replay in your mind trades that you missed or mucked up and in replay you did everything right ? When i trade , been weeks now, i try to spend a few minutes...

I think Larry Levin talks about it as well. Been awhile since i read his rules but sounds pretty similar.

Instynct, good to see you back ! Feared you'd been hit by a truck or something. Know what you mean about the ET pnl posting pressure. Even if it's self imposed or subconscious it can throw off the focus. And this low volatility makes for tough trading as well. Glad to see you and...

i watch this for sentiment http://www.schaeffersresearch.com/streetools/market_tools/investors_intelligence.aspx I also watch ISE put/call option data. do you mind sharing where you're getting your info Thanks !

took the short. + 1.50 no more time to trade after that but looks like i didn't miss too much i hope instynct shows up next week

currently 2525 and i just don't see this going higher until at least a 5+ pt pullback. not looking to trade either side quite yet. i frequently fade strength w/ less than ideal rsults but again that's how i'm leaning here.

only had time for these 2 trades.

You still trading off those funky range charts or something :)

Mismanaged my trades. Holding too long for target on 1st, not holding second, etc etc. Last trade closed out 'cause had a client waiting. My target was a couple pts higher.

-3.75 Trading in the chop today. this song always starts playing in my head on days like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yROLRovCkso

entries 1 minute and most of my focus is here. Also watch a 500 vol chart when action is quick which gives a good read over the 1 min. 5 minute is my next most watched chart then some larger time frames as well

Can I whine a little while i'm at it ? :) Choppy pullbacks i struggle with. So i watched alot then made 2 lousy trades EOD. My other trades are within my game plan. Well, one was questionable -in retrospect of course. Arrived late so missed about first hour. Profitable days back and...
