OH NOOOO!!!!! I LOST IT ALL TODAY. Ha ha. j/k. I'm up $75 on 9 trades. 1st trade was a mistake but lost only $35. The rest were half winners and half losers. The losers were mostly right on direction but stops keep getting hit and reversing. (I'm getting more and more suspicious...

Here's a chart of my trades today.

Today was a crazy day. Either I'm cursed or today was a good lesson on being patient. Almost got wiped out today. Ended up $5 on four trades. Got trapped into a long position during the morning and hold onto it on the way down. At the very low, I was down about 50% or $350. I stopped...

From my last job, I was leaving at 3am. So my sleep schedule was screwed up. I'm trying to get myself to sleep from 8pm-5am, but my body just doesn't want to sleep at those time. I've tried sleeping pills and staying awake for 24 hrs. Doesn't help. Does anyone have any other tips?

I am unable to trade small as I am already using max leverage with one contract. Using tight stop doesn't help either as those kept getting hit and reversing. I started having better success when I stopped doing that and widen my stops. However my capital is so low that 2-3 bad trades will...

Up $45 on 11 trades. Was down $80 initially from some bad trades. Also made a couple of good trades with decent profits but didn't exit when should have. Still have some morning fog and can't trade well in this condition, so I'm quitting early again.

Down just $5 on 4 trades. Trying out a new strategy this morning. Discipline is getting better. 1st trade was a short but entered too early and stopped out at the exact high. Would have been a $100 profit. 2nd trade had a $50 profit but entered too early again. 3rd trade was a loss. Rules...

I know every trades has some risk, but I find that I keep worrying about it every time I see a good setup and it makes me hesitate from entering. I would constantly just watch the price bounce up and down. Should I stop doing that as I suspect that is what causing my nervousness. What are...

Went Fishing, Saw the doctor yesterday. It's just a little crack at the tip. The doc has me in a little splint. All in all it's fine. I just do some mental paper trading where I'll say to myself to enter/exit when I see a setup I like. I find there's not much of a difference from...

Doing better than yesterday. Today I decided to say screw it to trading pre-market hours and gotten some sleep. I will say my discipline is a lot better. Up $60 from $705 on 2 trades this morning. Both trades were on the long side. - 1st trade was up 45 dollar. Got out half-way on the...

Ha ha, very funny. Now can we get some serious answers pls?

I have an issue where I impulsively try to trade as soon as I wake up and turn the computer on and it's costing me a lot of money because I am sill feeling groggy and can't focus and don't follow my rules. I know I need to stop doing that, but what are things I can do to stop myself from...

I trade the YM.

Bad morning. Lost $185 on 10 trades. Tried to trade as soon as I woke up from bed. Started out with a $100 lost with 2 trades and spent the rest of the morning trying to make it back, but wasn't following my rules. The one trade I made that was based on following my rule had me at a $150...

up $100 on 12 trades.

-$60 on 10 trades this morning. Not doing so well and am quitting early before it get any worse. Will try again tomorrow.

Need to end the day early. Too tired, was trading on 4 hrs of sleep and it's not a good thing to do. Made some early mistakes from taking trades as soon as I woke up. I'm on leave from work right now, so maybe I'll be able to get more sleep and my performance might improve. Made $115 from...

Broke one of finger on my left hand yesterday at work. So, sorry for any typos. This morning was pretty bad. Saw the downtrend, but couldn't find any good entries or just missed them. Down $50 on 9 trades today. Leaving a bit early due to emotional stress and don't want it to cloud my...

Ending session one hour early. Up $120 from $755 (16%) on 4 trades and only one of those trade was unsuccessful. a 75% win ratio. Not bad but wish I had made more. Can't complain though. An up day is better than a down day.
