The method gives signals when it gives them.. sometimes like this morning it happens to be countertrend... but this is not "always" the case..... Needless to say, I violated my 3 losses in a day rule.. I started thinking.. why stop after 3 losses.. if I believe that my system works no reason...

Well I have gotton stoped out on all 3 trades i took today, so I am done for the day. trade 1: -6 pts trade 2: -4 pts trade 3: -5 pts Net for day: -$87

Trader, Thats why I have a rule to stop as soon as I hit my third loss in the day. If that happens then my method just isnt working good in that market that day and I should pack it up and start again. With this rule in place the MOST I should lose in any given day will be less than <$100...

Made a few more trades, +4, +2, +1...... Stats: Wins: 11 for 42 pts, avg 3.81 pts Losses: 2 for 10 pts, avg 5 pts Net for day +$104 Everything went failry well today. My results are staying relatively consitant, espeically the number and maginude of my losses. I am staying pretty...

Trades today: +2 pts - 6 pts -4 pts +3 pts +4 pts + 8 pts A lot of my singals are failing, had several signal I luckily did not take that failed very quickly after..... The last 2, +4 and +8 that was actually one signal, I took 2 entries on it, and scored 4 pts on one of the...

Looks like I will get no more signals today, so done for the day. Made +$60 after commissions. Not making a killing, but its something, if I get consitant enough I can always scale up to make more money. With 2 contracts I think I woudl do much better as I could let the 2nd contract run longer...

I am loving life... Who would have known that having a trading plan and following it could feel SOO good.. its like a ton of stress is off my shoulders. No need to stress wondering if I made a good entry or not... just take the entries as they come and set my stop and take profits whenever I...

Having an ok day thus far... I missed 2 of my entries becuase both did not have clear stop points. It just so happens I could have used a 2 pt stop on both and scored 10 pts each, but thats the way it goes. No clear stop present without going too wide so I cant take that trade. The first...

Just had another trade to finish the day for +6. Totals: Wins: 7, for 29 pts Avg: 4.14 pts Loss; 2 for 9 pts Avg: 4.5 pts Net: +20 pts Happy day, only netted around $60 after commisions though. BUT its a day in the green. Right now its not about HOW much I make, its about how much I...

Just had another loss: -4 pts 1 more loss and I'm done for the day, my limit is no more than 3 loosing trades in a day.

Two more trades have been made: -5 pts +3 pts Nothing great there.. biggest thing that shows is I was able to stick to my stops. Cutting winners a little shorter than the method calls.... one thing at a time... at least I am no longer letting my losers run wild...

Trades today: +7 pts +6 pts +3 pts +1 pt +3 pts Tight stops were placed on every trade, none were hit. If you look at the trades I was capturing a little more early and since then I have been capturing less. I think this may be due to me wanting to stay green and not give back the...

Feeling very relaxed today. Only trading my signals. I have made 3 trades thus far, 1 for +7 pts, one for +6 pts, and one for +3pts. The stops were set at only -4 pts on all of those trades. It feels VERY good to have a plan and actually be trading it. This last one for +3 pts, it was a counter...

Well, after not trading most of last week, I did some live trading today, couldnt resist. Made +$33. Not a big day, but was a good day in that I took my signals and nothing else, set all my stops.... executed the plan. All the gut feeling trades I wanted to make I made in the sim account, and...

I had planned to paper trade all this week. The only day I got to do that was on monday, the rest of the week been at the hospital because my mom had to have unexpected bypass surgery, which everything went well with. So, I plan to paper trade hopefully next week and get some consitancy...

here is the chart with my entries today.... i used a range chart instead of volume today.... I think I like the feeling better of these range charts....

This is exactly why in the initial charts I posted I did not show the indicators, on my charts I look at I have them hidden, I do not need to see them.. the only thing I need to see is the one vertical paintbar. All the lining up of the indicators, and indicators doing this and that I dont have...
