For the fun of it I have a small challenge for you. Why don't you do a little experiment. If you choose to accept my challenge this just might be educational. For the remainder of this week and all of next week do the following: 1. Only trade ES using real money. No stocks and no sim...

I have to agree with trader_david on this. With no skin in the game your focus and attitude are just not the same. Your mental state is different. IMO with no skin on the line it is like comparing apples to oranges. It's not even entertainment it's really detrimental. Because your...

Hello again. Not sure if modifying this setup is a good idea. Just IMO. What I mean is that a price above or below each level is THE confirmation. Price is the market sentiment. Worst that can happen is you get stopped out. Just an idea but watch price levels defended by the bulls, and...

I agree with BH chasing a trade is not good. It is always a mistake. Does chasing a trade comply with your rules? You need to look at it psychologically too. How bad do you feel when you chase and lose? Do you feel like Dobby in Harry Potter? Stupid, stupid, stupid me. This takes a...

ND, You already know this but every trade is a gamble, just like pulling the arm on the slot machine. You just try to align the probability in your favor by taking your well thought out and tested trigger. If you don't take your trigger you have nothing good psychologically. My...

You're welcome. Just reading your journal as an unbiased observer I really think your focus is the key. You have proven you have all the tools to trade. I just get the impression from reading your writing that you feel you may miss a trade on the equity side so you abandon ES and jump to...

Here's an idea that may help you focus; Set aside the opening and morning session for ES only. Take your +6-6 setups and concentrate on that. If you feel in the groove with it stay with it the whole day. If it's just not clicking, switch over to equities. At least take the first 2 or 3...

Ditto Jander. You have a plan and know the ropes, just go for it. Trading paper is 100% NO GOOD. It doesn't correlate one bit. Except maybe to get the mechanics down. The psychology is totally different. You need screen time in ES, or whatever you trade. Period. However, You...

Thanks NY and RN for provoking my thoughts. And to all the others for the same.

Gee you can do all that, the price is a steal Let me ask my mom, if we got a deal She may not give me, any money today And she just now told me, to go out and play You must have degrees, up the wazoo To be able to do, all that you do I'm sure glad you offered, to do that for me...

TF has a hundred tried, I tried a thousand and then cried Still can't get password, for Abercrombie n Fitch Figuring these rhymes, is a real bitch Also can't get password, for MCO I'm starting to pay, a heavy toll

Still working at it, still thinking hard Haven't yet got it, nary a shard Racking my brain, reading more scoobystoo Give my right arm, for just another clue

Thanks for the clue, I will give it much thought And hoping that I am, it will not go for naught That to know the password, would surely be cool But not to get it, would make me the fool So on the journey, I continue today And along my path, I try not to stray

The password's not given, maybe it's honey I wish I could figure it, to make me some money If someone doth get it, please let me know Cause I want to join in, to be part of the show

Using your system, I hope I'm not wrong Do you never go short, and always go long?

A question for NY, and RN too Do you use stops in your trading, please answer anew And also a question, about SQ3R How is it used, and to take it how far

I must be on the 'puter, for to post in this thread cause my blackberry won't work, to login it is dead support has been helping, to resolve this issue but for now it's not fixed, I must cry in a tissue I am getting a software, upgrade real soon and when it is done, just give me...

So how do you see, what be in the box Is excel the key, of what can be

Is this the obvious? I have not tried this yet but after giving it some thought it sounds like a plausible idea: 1. Maintain 2 trading accounts 2. Pick a stock, any stock 3. Go LONG in one account, maintaining tight risk mgmt. i.e. bet what's ok to lose based on the risk you are...

So I told him to stand, to the right of the tree, to get down on the ground, on his hands and a knee I told him to listen, for the answer he craves, to huddle his senses, to boldly be brave That the time draws near, to reveal the truth, and proclaimed by the mentor, by the sayer of soothe...
