if i was the kind of guy that breaks keyboards , today would be the day. Might take it out on my liver later on. Moderately. -60 pts this week. Especially frustrating because i came in to the week with great expectations. trading 2 cars this week blew up on me. I could not read the market...

In spectacular fashion i was zero pts for the week. - $ 155 in commish. tues + 21 pts. best day ever. finally making progress ! wed -6.50 thurs +7.25 back on track . i can do this. (wasn't trading first hour and a half so missed alot of the upmove. i was happy to get the +7.25) fri...

Quiting early today - pre holiday and all. +8.25 pts for week but down about $ 30 again after commish. Tues was only losing day at -16 pts. All trades 2 contracts except for today. From a psych standpoint i'm comfortable trading 2 cars and dealing with the larger intraday drawdowns...

NoD, Great! Gotcha. I'm starting to catch more of those setups but just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything thank you

NoD, On Handle's chart you also got short around 12:45 ? I see a TL break on the 5min and some matching highs at 1411.75. Is that enough for you to think a LH is in or is there something else, besides the Dom, that gets you short that you could share. Btw, i don't trade ES just NQ and...

Nice to see another NQ trader around here. Best of luck to you!

+4.75 pts this week, which puts me down about 30 bucks after commissions. Mostly trading 2 contracts every time now. Tues & Wed were negative days for me. First time in a few weeks i've had two losing days in a row. Thurs i had problems with Ninja Trader so only 1 trade. I spent hours...

thanks. i was thinking about this one; which adds a bit of a history lesson as well. Alibris has great prices, Tough to pass up...

Thanks JP. Kind of like, "Do more of what works and less of what doesn't". Good advice. I've read Reminiscences twice years ago. I actually don't own the book so i'll buy a copy and read through it again. I'm currently reading Schwager's latest; 'Hedge Fund Market Wizards'

Week end 8/10/12 -.75 NQ pts Last week +13.75 pts Tried a couple trades last week entering with 2 contracts as i've talked about. It's not the magic solution to getting great exits but i still think it will offer the opportunity for better trade management by scaling out...

RN, Happy to help. And likewise, Thank you, Sir.

measured move in real time. let's see how it plays out.. This is how i use them. Others may approach differently , i don't know. As always, take my advice at your own risk :D see ya

Measured moves from my files. Pretty self explanatory but the dashed line leg = following dashed leg . solid line = next solid.

Update: Week ending: 7/20/12 + 9.25 pts : 7/27/12 Vacation in Oregon. 8 nights. Beautiful State. This past week 8/3 -14.50 pts Looks like it's going to take more than calm focus to book some profits. My exits continue to be a problem for me...

Quick update. Still plugging along. +15.75 NQ points this week and profitable 4 of 5 days. I've had a few weeks like that and a few where i just blow up and lose 20 NQ pts in a day. I've finally come to the conclusion and belief that if i am rested, focused and calm then i can make money...

Not taking propecia are you ? FYI http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504763_162-57413756-10391704/fda-adds-sexual-side-effects-warning-to-baldness-drug-propecia/

Well, i sound like a broken record. Or is the phrase nowadays a broken ipod ? Trading scared again. Plus I get down a few points then start looking to just book any profit. Ended up missing a nice run because of that today. Then i see how close i was to catching the trades i start...

Thanks tihfa ! I'll take a look at that.

thanks JP. Trading scared today. After that last trade i threw in the towel on the day. I agree, 45 degree = strong trend and almost any entry will work. I've got notes and examples on this in my notebook. 180 reversal seems like it might be a little late for my style but i'll keep an eye...

dang. -2.00 points mistakes: Not paying enough attention to higher TF, hesitiating at numbers, trading scared. Mostly decent entries but mismanaged. I really want to keep the momentum going from last week. :(
