nkhoi, you are right, however I am at GMT+2 so the only thing available is FX which I am not a fan off and the Asia markets (afternoon sessions) which I also don't want to trade since I would like to see open, etc. and TS doesn't support and I don't want to get in the hassle of switching...

Thanks Jas. Just subscribed to the data and hopefully will start with a good trade tommorrow morning.

I hope this journal will mark a new beginning in my trading. I have a full-time job, so I have been trading after work during the evenings. As I live in Europe I thought this would be convinient. It turns out that this has not been such an advantage as I thought. By nightfall I am too...

I trade YM and am thinking of switching to FESX because of the time difference (I am in Europe). Would appreciate any opinions on the differences traders have seen? Thank you for your replies!

Excellent job! I wish I took that trade : ) I got in on the short you were looking at but had to bail for a few points profit 'cause had guests coming over for dinner. (I'm 7 hrs ahead here.) Should return to normal next week.

Very interesting idea. I wish you the best and may even sim some FX with ya. What I don't like is that when you lose, you lose quite a bit. Eg. assuming range of 0 and 100, if it goes to T1 and then BE, you make 25% but when you lose, you lose 150% (100+50 add on). I wonder if having...

nooby, do you realize how long it takes to become consistant and profitable? To reach the point where you can day trade for a living? It takes about as long as it takes to get a university education. Actually longer. Log in 10,000 hours of screen time and you will be ready. Its not as...

Matcha, I'm no expert, as I am still learning and trading only 1 contract but have a few comments on your trades. 1) You over traded. Its best not to trade when its not clear. 2) In the initial balance (first 30-60 min) the dow had a 20 pt range and you took 3 longs. You were trading in the...

Nice job! I also trade the Dow e-minis. Took a month off also. Will try to get back into the groove. I like your goals. I have a few setups and may also try to focus on just one. I didn't trade yty but saw the chart. I saw trade 2 and would have taken it also if was not busy. Nice call...

Matcha, all the best in your pursuit. I also trade the YM. I've been doing it part-time for a few years. Daytrading is tough but I think you are on the right track studying bar to bar. I also started Al but put it down for some time as its very badly written and I already have some setups...

Greece is not Iceland. There will be free money to be made. But not sure about timing. Still not time I think.

Screwed up yesterday Didn't have any patience and basically imagined setups and trades were they didn't exist. Result: I dropped 30 pts on 2 trades. The stupid trades are shown in the attached. They occured very early in the day and I just really should have done neither and just waited...

This morning I took a short which didn't pay off and was stopped out. I am wondering if my 1st short was a little aggressive but I don't think it was. Probably just bad luck ? I took a 2nd short which did work out and exited just before the hanging man formed. I figured out my target based...

NoDoji, Unfortunately I didn't take any trades on Thursday but all the analysis and practice paid off on friday :) I made 43 YM points on a long off the bottom :) My analysis for Friday: Arrow 1: Market broke down through the opening range (shown by yellow lines). Then on a further...

Its not a virus! I just went to the link. It doesn't say anything about houses or history. All it says is a 1-pager that says "unpaid balance of assessment" of 82262.34 and that this was for the tax period ending 2002

I believe reading price action is key to trading successfully. So I’ve started to practice :) Of course this is with hindsight so it’s easier than live :) but at least it will get me thinking… Yty’s YM action is posted. Arrow 1 Comments: Price broke out of the first 30min...

check out the fx game on oanda. not immediate by pretty close.

Great thread guys & gals! Good luck today!

Thank you for your efforts and for sharing. Have a great week!

Took a long which I scratched as it wasn't working. Unfortunately, it picked up a few mins later :( Closing the week down. March: +26 1st wk: +10, +1, +10, -10, +10, +10 = +31 2nd wk: +10, +6, -10, 0, -3, -10, +6, +10 = +9 3rd wk: +4, -12, -3, +10, +10 = +9 4th wk: -10, -3, -10, 0 = -23...
