    Only took 2 small trades today. Most of time just learned to read PA. Trade 1: Long on BO/PB. Got out at BE Trade 2: Long 2 leg pullback in Triangle pattern. +1.25pt @9:05 Bull Doji signal bar is a 2nd entry 2 leg pb long. I let it pass by since it’s an inside doji bar. I will...

    I had the same mind set when I took #2. For the trade #2. after the entry bar is closed, I moved my stop 2 tick below the EB. For this type of breakout if no immediately decent size breakout bar from the triangle, the BO usually turned to fBO. then you could fade it. But I was too slow to...

    Its just that lots of traders have been adviced me to demo ES. I thought it's not a bad idea to do so. By oberserving ES and YM these days. I found often ES gives 1pt move, good for scale out if trading mutiple contracts. I am not there yet. Plus I think ES often have a nicer signal bars. But to...

    A wild day. Took 3 trades. Trade 1: 7:28 long. Break out pullback long. The entry bar and follow through bar are both dojis. I took the trade out when I saw no follow through. -0.5pt Trade 2: 10:00 long. Triangle breakout. Double bottom pullback long. This is the counter-trend trade that I...

    Thanks, Nodoji. I will try my best working on it. Will keep repeating the above paragraph out loud. I will get out either the "money profit" is made or "trailing stop " is hit. I really shouldn't be "thinking too much" while trading. There was so "sign" to getting out. This is the major...

    Only traded AM session. Only took one trade at the open today. Exited the trade prematurely. I did not give the trade any room to breathe. Out way too soon on the trade. I knew at that point I lost confidence on the trade and started to contradict my original long decision. I entered on a...

    I feel like shorts are more difficult to hold than longs unless you were in a breaking down hard run early with no retrace. I tend to "shake out" more often by the large up/downs moves as bars forming. More and more experience will help us stay with the trade. I also find that it will be...

    Have been dealing with the platform problem most of the day. Will reload TS and updates later today. Trade 1: 6:46. First trade is a pure bad chase trade. An impulsive one. Buy at the top of the bear channel. Wrong market context to take the setup. Got out of it when I realize it’s a bad...
