boro, No problem.. nice trade btw, I see you have some patience when holding your trades unlike me. I have PLENTY of patience while watching the trade go against me.. but no patience at all when its going my way..... kinda ironic

And jumpy strikes again :) oh well Buy 1 YM 11079 sold 1 YM 11089 Net today: +56

wow, I am one hell of a jumpy trader ;) Buy 1 Ym 11074 Sold 1 YM 11077 Net +10 on the day... I sell way too soon and for no reason, just afraid to loose big lately so if i'm even remotely unsure about a position I dump as soon as I have a small profit.. Oh well, a few dolllars is...

patiently waiting for a settup.... seems to not have any volatility here this morning... usually by now I would have jumped into a position just because I was bored... hopefully I remain relaxed and wait for a entry.

What an interesting day, spent all day trying to crawl out of a hole but by end of the day I did. Came a little short of my +100 a day, but i'm not complaing it was an up day. Had one loss today for 32 points. Had 7 wins for 53 points Average Loss 32 pts Average Win 7.5 pts That is...

Patience is something I deffinetly lack... evident by me trading during lunch again today....... And also is the MAIN reason I cant seem to hold a winner long enough... just let go of another GREAT winnner..... Buy 1 YM 10974 at 12:10 sold 1 YM 10976 at 12:54 I watched it run all the way...

Another small play... I really should be waiting on my entries.. but instead i'm just trying to hit a few small ones to get my loss back down... buy 1 YM 10983 Sold 1 YM 10988 Net today -$82.... Maybe I shoudl take a break for a few hours and try back in the afternoon session...

Another semi revenge trade.. no valid entry on what I generally use for my entries again... but this time I do feel the market needs a small pull back.... Nothing can go straight up right??? Why do I keep trying to fight this..... It would at least make sense if I had a VALID entry.... Short...

Long 10999 at 9:52 Closed 11002 at 10:04 Days net so far -$153 So essentially have lost everything I made yesterday for no reason at ALL

Yesterday was not that bad of a day, made $153 which is over my daily goal, so I am pretty happy about that. My average trade only netted 7 pts however which is not very good. Want to try and get that number up higher today. Off to a really slow start.... Didnt pull the trigger on a good...

version, I can not be 100% certain, but I am fairly familiar with IB's paper trading account and I believe his trades to be in the real money account. If he was using the paper account you would see part of the diagonal simulator word showing up in his screen. Looking at the paper account in...

Did not post the results yesterday because of technical difficulties. The bot had problems transmitting orders and ended up with a screwed up day. Today things were back to normal and bot had another +1500 day. ES: +$331 NQ: -$2 ER2: +$1,616 YM:-$249

LOL, you guys are pretty funny with this pissing contest...... I dont seem to see the relationship between number of contracts you trade and how good of a trader you are... Just remember there will ALWAYS be someone bigger and badder trading more contracts than you. I dont see what any of...

Exactly what always happens, I sell too soon.... this last trade I exited for no other reason than I was just jumpy..... not because my entry criteria was violated... and now the Ym is up to 10860's...... thats a lot of money left on the table for NO reason at all.. just needed to hold a few...

Bot 1 YM 10837 2:24 Sold 1 YM 10842 2:26 Days net +$153.70 If you notice this whole afternoon I have been extremly jumpy after entering the trade and just taking very small profits. What sucks about this situation is I take these profits fast but when i get a looser it will more than...

optioncoach, Thats a good piece of advice, because generally in the afternoon I do end up giving back all my profits. Nothing worse than seeing me hit my daily goal and then in the afternoon session end up in the red for the day. Its just hard to stick to that, especially when I see that my...

Short 1 Ym 10842 at 10:43 Covered 1 YM 10836 at 10:56 Net for day now: +$132

It seems everyone has a journal these days, so here is mine. My biggest problem is cutting winners too soon and letting losers run. I am hoping that by recording my trades here and receiving feedback that I may finally be able to kick this flaw. My trades are completely discretionary...

How long can this crazy volatility last? Was the past few years just a dry spell and the volatility is here to stay or is this only temporary? All I know is this volatility has KILLED me the past month or so. Was doing great a few months ago and now i'm getting slaughtered, mostly due to the...

I wasnt trading yet in the late 90's or early 2000's. Is this how the market's volatility used to be back then?
