Way more than you think. Concentrate on better than 1:1 Reward/Risk expectancy vs 'coin toss' scenarios and you'll be on the right path. peace Hedvig

Today I took it in the ass. Learn to stay neutral and as a rule (do NOT come back w/revenge trading); it will happen from time to time. My revenge will come tonight on 'hump' night here on the lake (Michigan). Some young arrogant girl is going to feel my overtrading intermittent rage...

No, Thank you for picking up on one of the main points of the journal. The practice of that phrase (I trade by exception only); the concentrated application and the adherence to it over the course of 2000+ trades--well, it will change your life if you have a) trading edge b) positive...

Saw a movie that reminded me of intraday trading last night. 'The Grey' w/Liam Neeson. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1601913/ Poem within the film was good. 'Once more into the fray Into the last good fight I'll ever know Live and die on this day Live and die on this day'...

Damned NQ was on fire today...early! 2 b.e.'s after I got to +150% open profit on both... Could have had a MONSTER day--but I have no control over price action. I place the trades and then manage them and let everything outside of my control do whatever the fuck it wants. I don't think...

I have a mantra and it goes something like this every Monday morning. ---------------- Monday... Got up early; took a shower. Had some coffee outside. I ended up scoring some dark meat this weekend so I feel somewhat sated going into Monday a.m. I look for 10 quality trades per week...

a) Good 'drinking' genetics b) Experience ------------- Seriously though--space your drinking out over longer time and drink alot of water before drinking and eat something 1/2 way through drinking. I use to take alot of MSM (powder--from health food store) before during after and the next...

-------------- I'll look at this on Sunday when I am decompressing and the next time I turn on my computer. peace Hedvig

Hola, 1st my stats & then some purging... Solid week w/good price action! A bit of luck and a bit of discretion on 2 trade exits that had stalled for an hour. I am a scalper so I prefer not to have one session trading a specific instrument 'leak' into the next. I trade 6E/CL/NQ...

As a trader I can control a) Entry criterion--and stick with a proven method that creates an edge over time b) How many trades I take per day and how long I sit and stalk trades c) Markets I can watch d) My trade management that is written out and which I adhere to 100% As a trader I...

Some further 'deep thoughts' and a nice trading article. It is Monday and I need a few cocktails over lunch at a new dive bar that was recommended to me by an older (very wise) colleague. I feel 'a mess' after the crazy Friday night/all-day Saturday down south 'spring break' junket; so--I...

Hola Hola, After a wild weekend in Puerto Rico (passed out in bed by 9:30pm est Sunday night after I landed back home in Miami). Monday a.m.--I sat down in front of my screens today and was thinking the following...patience...this Monday after an international holiday...5 European...

Early 'Deep Thoughts' & Musings for 4 06 12 ------------------ Excellent week for me on avg. risk of 0.7% per trade w/16.07% return for the week. I did have 3 trades that were 'karma' trades {I call lucky trades that}. I'll take it. The pendulum swings both ways, indeed. Weekly AM...

Mid-week 'wake up.' Better than snorting a line; believe that! A post from a Darvas Trading advocate. If you can really internalize what he is writing you are 75% of the way there; then you just have to have a repeatable/sustainable 'edge' methodolog(y)ies for your preferred trading...

I am recruiting deviants! I actually smiled when I read the 'bring me your finest meats and cheeses' thread several years ago. peace Hedvig

Great blog post here http://www.tradersstateofmind.com/articles/article/7367349/161481.htm ----------------------- His article highlights are in 'quotes.' My responses are after the ________ ----------------------- "The moment that a trader uses his performances in trading as an...

Hola all, 1st my weekly trading results and then on to psychology and pontifications on poontang. I am 'drinking my drink' and just had a hot tub. Was done by 10:26am on Friday after unusual time to chill this a.m. Took an early loser in the currencies and was able to relax from 7:20am...

Good review of a trading book... http://hometraderuk.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/book-review-market-mind-games.html?goback=.gde_3863963_member_104254275

Traders take risk, in the sense they routinely make judgements whose outcomes are uncertain. So it would follow then, that good traders don't try to eliminate risk as much as manage it, and intsead, can increase their chance of profitability by better reducing that uncertainty. This can be...
