This weekend I was able to thoroughly analyze my LIVE trades. Consequently, I will no longer continue to place live trades, instead I will use my simulator for the remainder of November. I decided this is the best thing to do because the bulk of my trades weren’t consistent with what...

Thanks again Boomer, tradersaavy, lindq, ig0r, peterfigliozzi, nkhoi, fast_trader, fan27, Baruch, and porgie for posting good constructive criticism concerning last weeks trades on 11/12/2003. Sorry I didn’t reply earlier but my time was very limited. kserra, You’re right, I...

:D Thank you and for all your encouragement! :D

traderkay, It's the transition phase that's making trading more challenging. Dealing with all the psychological barriers that impede your progress. I mentioned before it'll take 2-4 weeks of winning and losing for me to reach a descent comfort level. I'm eagerly anticipating that day but...

I should have taken the day off from trading. I started off slowly and missed a few signals and never could get anything going trading wise. Hopefully next week I’ll continue to place trades free of emotions. My overtraded yesterday caused me to be more conservative. Trade#1 –...

Lindq, ….longer timeframes? I’ve never considered taking signals from higher time frames, only the 1 & 3 minute charts. My technical indicators will not show numerous buy & sell divergence signals in higher time frames. As a general rule with my system, the higher the time frame...

At least I was able to eliminate my fear of entering the market today. Trade#1 – [Short 1048.75 9:58 EST & Cover 1049 10:15 EST] [ P/L: - .25 ] Took first divergence signal but decided to cover after not much follow through. Good trade management! Trade#2 – [Short 1048.25 10:19...

Baruch, Lately, I've been exercising poor trade management. Hopefully, over the next few weeks I'll get better a mananging my trades without any emotional or psychological distractions. It will take me a good 3 - 4 weeks as I'm still in transition mode! Wish me luck

Another tough trading session for me and I didn’t make the best of it. Low volume kept me on the sidelines coupled with my fear of trading in such tight ranges. Trade#1 – [Long 1043.75 15:11 EST & Exit 1044 15:29 EST] [ P/L: + .25 ] Awful trade! My exit was too premature as a result...

Trade#4 – [Long 1045.00 15:45 EST & Exit 1046.00 15:57 EST] [ P/L: +1 ] No divergence signal just took it off my support of 1045. Just wanted a quick scalp for a late in the session trade.

Today was just an overall tough trading session for me but I made the best of it. Trade#1 – [Short 1049.75 10:11 EST & Cover 1049 10:15 EST] [ P/L: + .75 ] Broke my support of 1050.75 and I just wanted a quick scalp. Trade#2 – [Long 1048.50 10:26 EST & Exit 1048.75 10:36 EST]...

Porgie, I don't mean to be offensive but recently I commented about you posting to my journal. I wrote...... So, if you're going to continue to post in my journal try and offer constructive criticism. Thanks in advance!!!!!

Porgie, So is that why you're a failure? Elaborate if you need to!

I started the day off wrong. I was incredibly hesitant, indecisive and lacked all forms of confidence. I couldn’t place a trade to save my life and missed plenty of opportunities. Later in the session I was able to redeem myself with a few good trades. Trade#1 – [Long 1046.00 11:06...

Tradersaavy, I had no other choice but to short on release of the economic data. It's always volatile but the techs were saying price would turn down and it did, even though the numbers were good. I was actually late entering! As to that late day trade, in hindsight, it should have been...

A lot of movement in the price today and I’m getting better with placing trades. I’m satisfied with my trades and hopefully tomorrow I can keep sticking to the system simultaneously learning to stay calm in trades. Trade#1 – [Short 1052.00 10:02 EST & Cover 1050.00 10:16 EST] [...
