    Nothing too much to report today. My type of set up didn’t show up much. Have been trying to use limit order enter on pullbacks, I guess I set up my price too low, didn’t get filled. I am too slow. But it’s OK, limit order entries are not my most strategies anyway. 1: Short, 10:55, low...

    Took 3 trades today. I broke my rule on the first trade… Can’t make such mistake again. Market opened in YTD’s range. So I “expected” it’s a tight choppy day- wrong expectation. 6:55 market made it’s first reversal, it’s also a break out pullback setup long from Ytd’s...

    Thank you PO, Today I quit trading YM after 9:.00pst. midday. move is over... SOH is very difficult especially after you missed the move of the day, you just want to get "something".... Tomorrow is another day. No problem.

    yeh, " the reversal"or "re-enter on continuation" is the trade management part I am still working on. There is actually a lot of detailed work needs to be done to trade one setup... Thanks for advice, I will study small time frame a little more lol. 6E seems to be a "bad boy" :p

    Keep losing. But I am OK. I don’t feel too emotional now. Thanks everyone for posting and commenting. Made 2 trades today. They are both bad trades. But through the losing trades and bad trades I made these past weeks, I once again find some errors in my trading style. First of all, I...

    Thank you, PO and CollegeTrader. I don't know how long it is going to take for me to be trading with no hesitation and be in green on a consistent base. Again, it also relates to my personality: a bit undecisive, overthinking too much, lots of "what ifs", want some sort of perfection... I am...

    Hooti: I think KDASFTG makes priceless advice. You should read and re-read and listen it carefully. That's what I am doing now. I also learn and remind myself all of the statement he made in your thread. As far as work smart and work hard, no doubt that you are working very hard. I can...

    yeh, agree that's the the biggest mistake of the day. Was waiting for a 2nd leg down to buy, but in trend days we just don't get it... :( I will learn to get a bit more aggressive in trendy days..
