I find myself more and more losing discipline through the trading day. Every morning on my way to work I tell myself that I'm going to be disciplined.. Only take trades that are in my plan..etc..etc.. But as the trading day goes by I find myself losing that discipline.. sometimes trade just...

I know many of you trade with more than one monitor and I'm wondering what the reason is.. I don't trade full time and I only trade maybe 3 markets.. so I just flip back and forth between my charts and programs that I need.

The main difference I believe is I've learned to protect my capital above everything else.. meaning, if I go long and the market moves 1 - 1.5 points in my favor.. I immediately move my stop up to slightly above breakeven.. this way I make sure I don't lose anything.. lots of times I'll get...

Hi Spreadem, Same goal next week.. to net 9 points on the Emini for the week.... and gradually increase contracts as my account grows... I know some traders probably net 9 points a day on average.. but I'm just looking to survive and increase my capitol at a slow pace.. besides.. I...

I'm still looking into trading Eurostoxx and the Dax.. Anyone have a recomendation on a charting software that offers these.. and if so.. can you supply the symbol for each if you have it.. I don't need anything fancy.. I use Candles, and exponential movg. avg. and stochastics. thats it...

Thanks for the encouragement people... I'm so excited its hard to control myself.. I almost sad its the weekend since the markets will be closed.. I do feel a strange almost calm confidence now.. I hope you're right candletrader.. I hope its the coming of a consistently profitable...

Please don't take this as me bragging.. I just want to express that I've been trading off and on for approx. 4 years now.. never been successful until recently.. I posted yesterday that I met my weekly goal.. well .. today I exceeded it even more... I must say I have never felt so in tune...

Howardy2k .. good point.. I've noticed one thing that has changed in my style.. when I put on a trade.. once it moves my way 1.5 points I move my stop loss to breakeven.. well.. slightly above break even.. and I don't let it get me discouraged when the market comes back and hits my stop...

For the first time since I started trading the Emini.. almost 2 months now.. I've reached a weekly goal I set for myself.. Now I know a monetary goal is not a good way to trade.. but I use it as a guage to see where I can be capitol wise in a year or so.. I'm very pleased with my...

anyone know the symbol for the European stock index? I can't seem to find it in my software.. Do you find the eurostoxx is a better trading vehicle than the Daxx?? I'm looking to trade in the evenings/nightime.. say between 8pm - 3 am CST.. Any help and/or suggestions appreciated...

Guess I'm going to have to find somebody else and pay more.. Beats the hell out of coming in looking forward to a good day of trading only to not have your software working.. I'd rather spend the day with my ex-wife...

I'm using Quote.com.. basically because its cheap and I only use a moving average and Stochastics so I don't need anything elaborate.. But I find their system is down so often its getting really annoying.. anybody else use them?? if so, do you have any problems with them?

Thanks to all of you for the replies.. and so many of you are right on the money... I'm getting close to detaching myself from trades.. that is when I lose I shake it off and look for another opportunity.. used to be I'd be shot for the rest of the day.. Someone said.. GREED - I want...

DHOHHI, Good question.. I think a combination of 2 things.. 1. I didn't want to miss out on the move.. 2. I try to make at least 3 points a day and had not had a good setup all day.. what I need to keep reminding myself is some days won't offer a trade while other days will...

I'm sure this has probably been covered before.. My problem is I know what I'm supposed to do.. I have my rules.. they're not written down but are in my head.. and I know what type of trades I need to wait for.. I know what setups I need to trade.. My problem is I keep taking trades that...

in American dollars?? and how do I figure it out??? also, how much is Euro 1,250 any help appreciated..

Does anyone know if there's a website that offers delayed charts on the Daxx or Eurostoxx.. I tried Quote.com but don't seem to have those markets.. I know Esignal has it but I'm looking for it for free temporary to see if my system is compatible with these markets first... Thanks,

Good to hear you guys are nearby.. praetorian2 do you trade full time?? if so, for how long now? Deep C. I'm in the same situation as you.. I trade part time.. but I'm able to do so while at work.. its hard to get my work done because most of the time I'm watching the market for most of...
