Thanks. Good trading this week, nice of you to post.

I can't help you here because I have a bad habit of a) taking a break or doing something else after a good trade, and b) getting protective of my profits when I hit +$500 and leaving behind some valid trade setups. You should ONLY be trading good setups. This is what provides an edge in...

I think it's important to clarify for the many beginners and wannabees who read this thread that this style of trading is ONLY for HIGHLY EXPERIENCED traders with large accounts and a long-term track record of survival. When I was a wannabee futures trader, I sim-traded many strategies, this...

Illiquid, Thank you for your insightful journal. Your writing accurately reflected many of the psychological demons that keep the majority from running a profitable trading business. Once we get our biases, stubbornness and ego out of the way, trading becomes, if not easy, at least...

Nothing. It just means you're probably a spider.

Nice, Neke! Good to see you playing off the trend and the scrambling shorts on PCLN :)

Actually, Pete Stolcers (options blogger) saw the move coming, but he thought it would be in June or possibly July. He kept warning in his blog that the PIIGS (Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece, Spain) were in dire straits and once the reality of the situation spooked the market, the sell off...

+$1332 This was a milestone day in my 1-lot challenge; I took a record number of ticks in CL today despite only trading a portion of my signals. I traded no long signals, being the stubborn biased SOB that I am; OK, maybe not an SOB, maybe just a B :p Have a good weekend all!

Matcha and I hit the bars once (the kind that leaves no hangover) :D The nice thing about doing the bar-by-bar every day is eventually you realize where your edge lies and become more and more confident. After hitting the bars for a long time now, I'm still only 30-40% of the way to my...

Hi Bug! Hope is all there is when the poor Emperor has no clothes :p

Perfect short term trading instrument. Today my trades were 13 seconds, 2 minutes, 6 minutes, 8 minutes, 10 minutes, and my one long term investment during the midday doldrums, 30 minutes. :cool:

I've been neglectful because the chat window covers my charts. Skype has been great, no windows on screen. I promise to drop in next week. We can trade POT together :cool: Nice trading, man!

Well, I save my blotters every day so I can analyze things later, but I don't want to post them too often and give everyone a chance to reverse engineer my "edge" - lol! BTW, I finally stepped away from lunch after "just one more trade" and of course you see what happened... I then...

I think I made a record for # of ticks gained on the day :) Nice work, K!

Picaso, let's you and me go to a 12-step program for "overthinking" traders.

I think emg's gonna be right after all!

BTW, this is some REAL price action today. Did yesterday suck or what?? ADD: I'm stepping away from my desk now...

Oh Yeah? Well I re-shorted @ 81.22 and held through the RETEST of that low before exiting @ 80.86, because I wanted to let my winner run. So there! :D

You have web cam or something??? :p Short 7 secs after the news 81.33, stop to b/e and out. Short on the rebound 81.41 (8:31:09, I'm slow, OK), out 80.91 (8:37:44)

You damn swingers! My trade lasted less than 7 mins :p
