    Thanks guy :-) It's kinda funny, usually just after 4pm I'm in the gloom and doom :-( (especially concerning not following the plan) But then I'm done for the day, get to play with the kids and just chill out, then I remember how blessed I am. Even for God to give me the chance to...

    Hi all, sorry guys this is getting to be crazy, a nasty "F" again for following the set plan :-( Pretty much I allowed myself to get pressured and stressed, and not putting my hope where it should be. Started off the day following the set plan. Short NQ at 10.19am (858.5). what happened...

    Hi, The actual time of the trade was in the 10:14 period. I'm following a set mechanical system. Todays signal was a new low to enter. I wait till just after 10.00am, then enter on a new high or low. Like I mentioned to somebody else in a PM, you can tell I'm no rocket scientist, it's...

    Hi All, well I was able to get alot of stuff straight and it looks like I'll be able to finish up my twenty days, praise God. Today went well as far as following the plan, score A + :-) I am also testing and papertrading a scalping system through out the day, which I'm not going to go...

    You are right, I agree also about how important it is to still being a winner in the discipline department, something I failed in today. I'm still o.k. about the system, it's still no where near the draw down I had at one time while testing it (-64pt's) To be fair I guess my circumstances...

    Hi there, yes it's funny sometimes what the market will give, you know when I was papertrading (to be fair, my realtrades are pretty much instep) I was averaging a few points a day over all, even with slippage and commissions, I still figured it might give a point a day( averaged over 95...

    IB's Trailing Stop for FUTURES

    Hi, been using then the last 11 days with the NQ, as yet no problems at all. The only thing I don't like is not being %100 sure where the T-stop is at, after it's been placed. By the way, I use the T-stop to not only stop me out but also to reverse me in the market. I also enter mainly...

    Hi All :-) Well today, no matter how good a day God tried giving me, I just didn't want it :-( As far as following the set system I did alright until near the end of the day. BUT because of some otherthings going on (tighter cash flow, than I figured) Greed/Fear got a hold of me today, or...

    Hi All, well not a good day at all :-( Started the day off running back crazy from an appointment, didn't get in till after 11am. I really did think about not trading at all, BUT, saw that if I'd been here I would be long real close to where the market was. So I went long 921.5 (about an...

    Thank you both. Yes, fear and greed are not of God, giving into them is really just giving into "self" and not trusting Him!! That is the old, I am a new creation, just got to keep my eyes upon Him, as God always allows, it's a choice I have to make.. I made a choice to make Jesus...
