Well thats it, stoping for the day... today was a VERY impressive day for me... I went from down -$300 at one point, to finishing te day UP +$84... This was huge for my confidence.. means I had a +400 dollar swing from morning to afternoon...... So I went on a very good run..... I can say I'm...

Impuse trading.... I sure do that a LOT ;)

Just turned the bot off, it finished the day -$57.... which is inline with its typical results.... May run it again Monday, it just adds so much extra stress.... but does make me trade less...

After battling back all day, I am now up $8 dollars from my trading, but down a lot from the bot currently.... But I feel a lot more secure in my trading.. I mean I essentially lost a little over 300 at one point today, and made it all back.. meaning withot my morning blow up I could possibly...

Since I settled down after huge losses early in the morning, I am still trading my "improved plan" and have been comming back ever since.. now only down $-67.. which I woudlnt consider a bad day especially after where I was... NOW the problem is my crazy bot.... its down a good bit of money at...

My bot got me SOOOO nervous right now......... didnt I learn anything from the terminator movies.. dont trust computers with your future! lol

now only down -94... getting back into the rhymn and feeling pretty good.. I"M VERY NERVOUS though, my BOT just opened up a position.......... Now that I'm doing much better I probalbly should have turned it off....... I mean I ahve made up OVER 200 dollars in past hour.... i'm feeling good...

I somewhat have relaxed myself, got back in the groove... made a few good scores and now am down only -$150..... Trying to settle back down.. got rattled really hard this morning in some violent moves.... Also, turned my bot on out of desperation a little wihle ago, its yet to trade, but I think...

Now down 307.. this is freaking nuts.... I really dont know why I try changing.... over the past 3 weeks overall I have been up, doing what I been doing.... the 2 days I try changing something both tuesday and today I have blow ups.... seems like a coincidence to me...

I feel really stupid, Dont know why I even tried changing up what I do.... seems like everytime I try to change something up to trade more "textbook" and with common rules it makes me trade MUCH worse..... I never have problems trading in the morning, every trade I tried makign thus far was what...

Good news, I patiently waited for a signal.. took the trade with confidence. Bad news I got out for no reason and only made $20 on the trade...... Then watched it easily continue the way it should have... My "plan" states I should not think about taking ANY profits until 10 pts into the green...

Both of my main methods could be classified as sort of a trend resumption method. My PROVEN method is deffinetly a trend continuation method. My unproven and the one I'm actually more interested in and will probalbly trade more today is more of a trend/breakout method... where the breakout...

Well trading plan is "mostly" all in place.... I know even with this I am going to be very tempted to overtrade.... will be interesting to see what happens...... I feel like I am conducting some sort of pyschological experiment on myself ;)

Yea its a clear signal that your either overtrading or revenge trading when you look closely at a trade you just entered and no matter how hard you try you can not find any valid reason within your setup criteria of why your in that trade. Sadly, this still happens far too often for my...

Chris, I know EXACTLY what you mean. Looks like its going to be a LONG road before I am succesful..... but I know I will get there. Must keep making progress, and continue recongizing when I am letting my emotions get me. I can trade fine when I dont let my emotions get in the way. One...

K-rock, I agree. One primary peice of advice that keeps comming up day after day is the need to STOP trading once I reach my goal for the day.... I seem to do very well in the morning most days then struggle all afternoon... I think if I reach my goal by the time the morning sesion is over I...

4re, I didnt just start trading yesterday, I have been trading for about 2 years, futures for only 1 of those years. It may seem like I am JUST starting by how poorly I still trade. To answer your question, yes that is AFTER commisions. All P/L info I give is all after commisions, my P/L...

Well finished the day up $50...... not a great day, but its in the green and I feel like I learned 2 valuable lessons at the end of the day. #1 Its ok to let my open position run in my favor for a while! 25 pts is one of the biggest moves I have ever captured #2 Be more selective on my...

Boston, I have no doubt that if he posts a P/L it will be REAL and not from a SIM account. As I stated on here before I have routinely used IB's SIM account, and there is NO way the screenshots he is posting comes from anything other than a REAL money account. I understand the need to feel...
