Where do these 100k, 250k, 100% return, 50% return, 10% return.. etc numbers come from?? There are infinite possibilities in markets. Arbitrary numbers people pick out of the air based on THEIR abilities and beliefs. I assure you there are traders that get the bulk of their income from 50k...

UNBELIEVABLE... ignore list grows again.

Jimbo... Most constructive post from you so far... I DO wonder of the point of just EOD's... then again I also wonder the point of entries and exits all day.. Maybe some really guard their secrets and don't care to share.. getting to be consistently profitable does take time, pain, and...

Been occupied with other things lately.. Hopefully by next week back to trading fully.. +9.25 for the day.. off to work..

Ok... One thing we all forget to consider with win/loss (which you are) is the frequency of a stop being hit before the target.. varies a lot depending on system.. I don't care what anyone says.. frequent stop outs is a scheme to generate commissions that I doubt works long-term for the...

You think one day was enough to assess the prior ratio? how many types of days had you exposed it to before yesterday? "Usually" eating less and puking more is a wasting journey.. Me thinks yesterday's ratio was fine... Not trading today or tomorrow.. far behind on work.

And accept that some moves won't provide pullbacks for stops adjustment but one big reverse that comes back to your (hopefully it moved enough) B/E point.

Four hour grind still underway.. +2 SIM

If I were teaching a new trader (definitely make A LOT more) I would stress 2 things... Use S/R levels and Trendlines to GET in the current trend and REMOVE any levels ahead of you as once markets are traveling in a given direction ANY level can be broken (since the strength of a level is...

Jimbo.. Really??? You know none of that is a valid argument.. We all used to post live and decided an end of day was enough.. Time on EVERY one of my trades.. So you will post and eod after your last trade?? Starting to see Instyncts gripe with you..

Jimbo.... An EOD acct. summary will clear the air...

Disaster,.. Sim here I come!!.. Need to nip this in the bud before it gets a lot worse.. Self control completely gone.. and Bias waaay up.. Lethal combination. So distracted from my game plan and personal issues not helping.. Will be back posting if any hope.. Jimbo.. why won't you post an...

Enough to deal with in trading... It will all end up in the price anyway through year end.

I am convinced there are two of me and I despise one of them.. He traded today and for as long as he trades we will make no consistent progress. I wrested control from him in the afternoon and righted the ship... early symptoms of something.. +1.25 for the day... $110.5 to my broker.

Taking mid 43's short.. Range narrow so stop above..

Sorry but I am not letting you off that easy.. Care to explain the 66.5 long entry? .... "I was simply trading like that newb Rashid" not good enough.. I have never averaged in more than 2 or 3 points (especially in the context of a day-trade) but I "think" the entry location goes a looooong...

Maybe trade only when workday is simpler? I work from home but still I miss things.. Trading requires serious (but detached) focus.. People like Jimbo and co are busy trying to get your money..:p

Keeping my marbles today... Still got a plan I just cannot execute.. in due time.. take care.

Calling it a day... Other demands beckon.. +13.5 Trade well..

Jim, For your sake it is better this trade does not work out.
