    Hi all, Spent a lot of time last night and this early am, trying to figure if I'd trade or not. Because I'd taken a couple of hits lately, didn't want to miss in case this was the big day for me (fear/greed,probably), so I opted to wait 30 min's of the trading day, then enter long or short...

    Hi ddefina, thanks for your encouragement, realize it's actually only one regular loss for me, but it's funny how emotions want to beat you up :-) Thanks again, Andy

    Hi all, man tough day, big (very big) whipsaws, but still followed the plan, A+. But then the "A" doesn't seem to take the edge off my biggest loss so far :-( BUT :-) It's about learning discipline and I'm getting some good lessons, even at a cost !! How the day went, got...

    IB Upgrades

    Def, is there anyway to actually see where my "trailing stop" is when placed ? I know I place it and so far seems to have worked fine, but it would ease my mind a little to see at what price it is at, not just T-stop at so and so points ? Thanks, Andy p.s. only used T-stop for the...

    Hi, if you have the time go back through the journal, alot of you questions will be answered. I use NDX on Bigcharts to see how NQ is acting, yes it is delayed, at this time it doesn't effect me. I usually use Q-charts. All the best, Andy

    Hi Jabez, love it ;-) Thanks guy, very encouraging, yes I sure am looking forward when I don't do, what I know I don't want too !!! Don't know if I have the right strategy, just yet, but if I can trade the plan, then I'm pretty sure the rest will follow :-) God allowing. Really, thank...

    Hi ddefina, I agree completely,even 100% :-) I realize I may be giving up some points over the next few days by not going right ahead with what you suggested (actually, already talked to a friend about it this weekend) because of Fridays late sell off. Though before I do (even at a...

    thanks, but just a couple of little losses, not even big ones yet, are going to make me give in that easy. But thanks, for you concern, Andy

    Hi All, What a day. Got a little confused on my entry point today, following my rules just read the chart a little wrong. Anyway the market carried on in that direction, so it didn't affect any numbers or anything. I'll just give myself an A, I thought I was following my rules, that's what...

    Hi All, Talk about talking to yourself feeling :-) Score for following the plan, A+. Seems I'm doing good by my score, but it's harder than I thought, mainly due to pretty much just watching and waiting, guess that's what discipline is all about. To be fair, don't think I'd be doing...
