To follow up on some of these posts regarding automated systems..... For thsoe of you looking at an automated system as something simple to just throw together and have it pump out money your in for a big surprise..... Especially if you think any of the indicators out there tweaked just right is...

wow... at least I know i'm not alone when it comes to these huge loosing days... thats is why I am out.. only my bots can trade from here on out for me..... dont like emotions to play any part anymore... Good luck mymini, i'm sure you'll make those losses back in no time.

Well guys... after posting my last message I basically blew it dropping nearly 1k over past 2 days and bringing my account down to 6k.... so thats it i'm done trading.... The next trade entered by me will be by a bot. I have proven to myself I do not have the diciplin to trade myself. But I...

Business growth is CLEARLY slowing from current economic reports. Inflation acording to latest readings is still ACCELERATING. This is a horrible scenario. Oil is hitting fresh session highs right now,and will probablly set a new record in next few days, so inflation pressure will continue from...

I am now finally back over $7,000 for the first time Since the day my bot had a big blow up and I had a big blow up in the same day.........Hopefully this doesnt jinx myself.... been doing fairly well.... I hope it keeps up, I have anotehr $4,500 to get back to even all time... but thats an...

It will be due to dow stocks trading on european exchanges. For instance, if you take the news about WMT droping the german stores. If you read press releases about that you can find where it says WMT was up in european trading. I have seen this same statement about a bunch of dow stocks before...

I may be wrong, But I believe some of the dow componets also trade on the European markets.... and the dow is tracked/updated during the European markets....

I agree, I am pretty confused by the move today.... higher inflation and slower growth..... makes no sense.... I think its a false move... Will reverse hard in the next few days... possibly even later this afternoon... With the price being up 120+ pts.... I cant see it going TOO much higher on...

I have been doing ok... I still fall into the trap of not always following my stops... this is a hard one to shake.... other than that, I am up about +$350 or so over the past 2 weeks... got a lot of learning to go... Also I have recently started experimenting with trading 2 contracts instead of...

Well after the several weeks since I started this journal, I am now back to about the same amount I had when I first started this journal... cant complain however, considering how much I went down at one point. Its all a learning experience.... and just being about even at this point makes me...

I personally like medved quote tracker.... Seems to work well for me.

Basically I'm frustrated like a lot of traders, so here is my new trading strategy. It isnt logical, it isnt fancy.... its really just a wild experiment..... looking for comments about could this work, or how it could be improved... Basic premise: #1 I do not know if the market is going to...

ended the day at +$247... not a bad day.... at all ;)

Kinda scared to post here seeing as my trades have been going well past few days, dont wanna jinx it... Made $30 monday, $47 yesterday, and I am currently up $224 on the day.. funny thing is 80% of my trades today have been to the short side.... so i'm happy with the performance... hope this...

I ended up losing -$79 today...... but i'm very disapointed in my performance, not just becuae my system was giving bad signals but the way I started disregarding some rules at the end.... Its hard to shake the feeling of my system being garbage after a day like this.. hopefully I can restore...

K-rock, quite possibly.. maybe the 3 loss rule is a good thing, because now i'm just getting all beat up and loosing faith in this sytem and wondering if it has any edge at all...

Getting really frustrated, I have an uncanny ability to place my stop at exactly the high or low of a move that goes against me.. its like the second it hits my stop it moves where I thought it would go...... got so frustrated I tried to get revenge back on a trade twice just now and cost me a...

Made 2 more trades now: -5 pts +10 pts I am keeping my stops at their average around 5 pts, but am trying to let my winning trades go a little further to better help my risk/reward ratio. I think the fact I am letting them go a little longer may be contributing to my win% being...

nkhoi, that was just an update on my trades since earlier this morning, i had about -15 pts in losses before that post was made....

Good advice... I am pretty bad at trying to change my system just because its having a bad day.. I do that everytime..... I think I should leave it alone and continue to trade it as is..... I am still net profitable using this method so no reason to change it because of one bad day.. need to...
