300,(40),330,205,(600) I do mindfulness/hypnosis every day before the open and I was able to catch the open every day this week. I have to stop at 1200 so I miss a lot of afternoon action. Way over-traded on Tuesday. I had the best short of the day but didn't hold it. I need to start doing 2s...

125, (200), (198), (350), 275 I forgot to do my mindfulness this past weekend... but anyway, I shouldn't have traded this week. I had therapy M-Thur and other appointments in between. Most of my losses were from trades off my phone which is very unreliable and slow. I missed most of the opens...

-,(140),10,740,(220) What a shame I wasn't positive today. I missed some great trades so I just stopped early, when I could have taken any one of a number of continuations. Doesn't matter anyway, I missed most of the opens this week. Still in therapy.

I remember that post. Someone was saying that holding through rolls in futures will kill your profit. I have not rolled anything in years. The thing was I was never stopped out. I have studied the markets I trade and in NG, most often if the trade is good it won't hit a .020 stop. I got out...

(460), (90), -, -, (40) Had a lot going on this week. Several days of no trades and very interrupted trading days. Anyway, had on a position in natural gas that would have made about 2k Mon or Tue and I scratched it as it went my way.

My best month ever (very lucky) was trading 5-6 lots on TF in 2014. I remember a lil of what I was doing - I would take off a few if it went my way a bit, then let the rest ride. It was a 'easier' psychologically than trading a 1 lot. Having 5 on is more pressure, but once you reduce it a bit...

-, 160, 260, 30, 180 These are before commission which are around 5$ a round turn. No trades Monday, I had an previous obligation. Tue, I should have taken some of the afternoon continuation I saw. After I make money on the day I don't want to over trade and give it back. Wed went long at the...

(80), 275, 215, 205, (354) Patience is a virtue for a reason. The only way for me to make my living doing this will be to learn patience. Mon I left 800 on the table Tue I left 1000+ on the table Wed I left 400 on the table Didn't sell on Thur as I was up already Sold many times on Fri but...

16 - 20 Jan (60) , - , (170) ,300, (680) Boy what a frustrating week. Shouldn't have tried to trade monday as it was a light day for the Holiday. Tue I had another obligation. Wed Skipped a couple good trades, finally took one. Didn't hold long enough. Over traded. Thur did well, but...

9 - 13 Jan 200 , (345) , 155 , (230), 375 Mon and Wed I'm pretty sure those could have been held for 3-400$ each. Amazingly, I messed up on Tue. Beautiful trend from the open which I did buy into. Saw most of the continuation but just let it go. I always think, it's too late, it's too late...

I'm posting this thread purely for selfish reasons: 1 to track my progress and 2 maybe someone on Wall St will notice me someday and give me a couple million to trade. Until that time, I'll just stay in a basement trading 1-3 lots on the midcap. I've been trading for 7-8 years and for most of...

1 min chart trading can only be done if you're using higher time frames to base your trades or are hft

How about we just all trade the chart??? IT TELLS ALL Whether we go up or down, the chart will tell you!

If only people spent as much time on their own financial well being instead of calculating other's financial well being, they might actually get somewhere someday.

no i never did phone orders

Why not just post a rotary telephone? I think that PC is a lil advanced

Thank you for the few helpful posts. TEB is clearly in his own multi-dimensional psychosis to include trading. I suggest stopping Mtrader, you're not going to make any progress. The solution I needed was already posted: time away, and a clear exit rules. For the past 7 years I lose sight of...
