Amazing how fading a box is difficult.. EVERYTIME you think it will leave the range but.. NO! Shorted the high 40's umpteen times thinking 40 the real support....Maybe short 54's?? :(

I have come across some great traders that walk away once they place trades... Not being cowardly, just accepting personal faults. After all, how is your presence likely to help the trade (PROPER stop in place)? If the answer is not CLEARLY yes, then walk away for a bit.. these have been my...

Fear in that chart.. What is the function of the moving average..? Can you hold for more than 3 minutes...? THAT IS THE HOLY GRAIL...:) Price needs time to move..

Was unable to trade today... Good top call! Markets are endlessly fascinating.. Held up all day, frustrating early bears...

To think they turned down 6 Bil from Google last year.. The very definition of Hubris.. Reminds me of the Yahoo/Microsoft thing. So painfully clear looking in from the outside..

Which stress is more profitable long-term.. Exiting too early or later and letting profits evaporate? I have experienced the first all my trading life it's getting very old and need to try the latter and see what happens to my trading results. Today was a doozy.. Took the short early and as...

Simplest definition of a trend.. Bars traveling in one direction. I chose 15m as I think less noise but still allows reasonable management. 30m and 1H too slow from 9:30 on... Ok for overnight though.

I did:)

Trend more like 70% of the time between 10am and 12pm based on 15m bars.. You need to define a "trend".

Done for the day.. too many trades.. +13.25 Good Weekend..

I feel for you... I am where you are less often than before.. A couple of times I would trade crap, kill my account.. THEN the juicy setups come and I thinking... WHAT is WRONG with me??? Unfortunately only PAIN teaches here and it takes different levels of pain for different people. You are...

Nice!... It's called letting the market give you what it can.. whatever that is.

Now THAT'S crushing... Well done. Hopefully returns like this become the norm... Only mental limitation in the way... Sky is the limit.:)

Done for today.. +11

Platform issues driving me nuts.. Seems a range chart in a different workspace (2 days data) part of the reason for my troubles.. But same as I had it 2 weeks ago and it was fine then.. Spent 30 mins at 2:15 trying to trade.. Emailed Ninja 6 hours ago.. grrrr... At 3:30 was leaving and had a...

Will deal with it another day... Constant cursor lag every every 2 to 3 seconds.. Pretty sure I am disease free... After that didn't do much besides fishing for the top.. was a bit off.

Do you guys have any Ninja Issues?? At open it was so slow to do anything I missed the first 30 minutes.. I am using CQG and use 4 charts and 1 moving average... Compared to Think Or Swim it is generally slow to load data and is unresponsive from time to time..

Work calls.. so done for today.. I keep "wasting" stops.. +10.75 points

VERY difficult to get out of spirals... remember your cup is still HALF FULL rather that half empty but mentally it is hard not to fear going down further rather than "I have a 200k account and it's up from here". This is why some here have recommended you take time off for a mental reset...

To crystallize my point... once you pass the threshold based on instrument volatility and loss management extra account size does not help... As an example.. If for NQ your decent system dictates a 5point stop based on current volatility and you factor in a 10 trade losing streak as 5% of...
