Where have the damn buyers gone? Becoming an investor Jimbo?? I preferred your 1.5 pt stops...

Shorted 47.75.. covered 45.5 couple hours ago.. nothing since.

No kidding... This Grasshopper will focus on the technicals only.. i.e. 2220 area was Support.. AND 2250 resistance.. so shorting 2248.

Sometime before tomorrow morning I am looking for 37/39 area to try a short on failure.. (H&S if so) Hope you get the move up there.. Today's close was telling plus the markets may be weak heading into NFP on Friday..

The 2pm trades... I experienced the same.. Clearly after the decline to support the correct bias was to be long.. BUT the FOMC minutes voltatilized :D the bars.. those were viscous bars,... BUT you lost your nerve once it finally moved.. exiting on THE breakout bar... fear trade.. been there...

You have to ask nicely..

Meaning??

had to run an errand.. I cannot believe THAT CLOSE... crooks!! I don't understand the earlier nasty holding of 38.5.. Target was 34 area.. Vile... just plain crooked! Well officially 2250 is tagged..

Should have stuck to this... was up 14 at the time. I was welcomed back at 2pm with some SERIOUS chop just before the trip to 140.. Then I decided to spend the days' net trading a 3 point range.. just NASTY movement there.. no one made me trade it. This is for the birds. +4.5 all to commissions..

Oh yes.. Money not made bothers me for a lot longer more than a stop out. funny the one that reduces the account hurts less... We must be psychos at some level. It was the second dip of the morning.. got long 108 area with 10 point target.. seconds later I am out for 3 points.. Invisible...

Built up enough in the head even a scratch trade becomes a dissapointment...

You defnitely don't let any trade bother you.. I haven't traded since I miss-handled a trade over 90 minutes ago. Still kicking myself.. This must be the final wall to break through but a really tough one for me. I may be done for the day.

Instynct... Fully agree with you.. I watched a trading psychology video over the weekend and one nugget I picked out of the 90 minutes or so is this: "If you don't believe it you cannot trade it".. Belief here meaning you prefer the market favors your mental preference.,. you think the...

Need to find a long hat... 3 Short signals, 2 Long signals.. took the shorts only and the exits were around where the Longs were.. Classic bullish behavior.. low volatility sneaky grind up.. 2250 written all over it. Bears much more exciting though. Trying to reduce my trading to a "work"...

Stop digging!!:p

32 trades.. Self control severely wanting.. +7 points.. all gone to commissions.. Was comfortably in the money which is when I usually call it a day.. for good reason. Don't trade chop?? Taking a break from this style of trading.. 10 trade maximum from here on. If i can't enforce it I may...
