Double DD, after I looked over the chart (see amended version), that is where my entry would have been too. However, sometimes my thought process is all over the place and I seem to miss good entries. I'm really hoping that with more practice and time all shall fall into place.

I took the below trade on 02/04 (02/05 on post). I have made amendments to it, to see where and how I could have made it a cleaner trade. It's amazing how the lack of experience can have such a detrimental effect on your trading. The difference in the way the trade was taken now and before...

Guys/girls, I really don't think NoDoji cares about what gender she is, as long as business is good. It really isn't a big deal. If we can get back to trading, I'd really appreciate it. Double DD and Double EE, nice posts earlier, so pls feel free to contribute some more. Thanks, SM

(I couldn't wait to respond to this one :D ). I second that!!! (NoDoji is all girl). NoD, whatever happened to that nut job that actually started a whole new thread about the gender discussion? Ironic humor, that was! Was the term, "WTF Mate" ever used again :p. Just teasing :D

4re, I think my entry points sometimes may be short. Do look at the charts and see if I may be going wrong somewhere, cause this is something that I can see being of great hinderance :mad:

Hi TraderZz, It's the first time someone has addressed me here as "Mr. Sam". Makes me think of a character from Reservoir Dogs. I'll take it :D 1) This one solution could actually make me a lot of money if it works, so yes, you do have a lot to give me; your input is always appreciated...

Any chance of sharing it with us?

NoD, you are right. It takes a great amount of focus and is very mind saturating. Since this is something that I have just discovered, I still have a lot of getting used to. The issues I have with this is that after a couple of trades, my mind is saturated and I can hear the "tick, tock" as...

I have been missing my entries today. The price comes to within pennies of my entry and takes off again :mad: . Am I doing something wrong? :confused: The only trades I made today were CIEN and JDSU. I will put up the charts tomorrow.

On the wall it is!. For now, let's remember the good; we have the whole year to face the bad and the ugly :D

I'll let you in on a secret. (refer to the trades I made yesterday) Trade 1: The entry was made on failure to make new HOD and broke down below LOD. Trade 2: See the second point: Quote "LESSONS: • Trust your reason for entering a trade and don’t change your plan. • If...

I'm still trying to find good ground with my stops. However, you are right in saying that I am starting to leave them a little open. This is something I could not afford to do until recently. What is allowing me to do this is my entry points. I have just understood the concept of finding...

02/01: I'm trying to put a new strategy into work here and it's putting my brain on over-drive here. I'm liking FAS today, till SPY gets to its resistance at which point a short should be good. In fact, the short is good now, SPY teased previous resistance and is starting to...

4re, thanks for the info. This should bring a little fun into the learning. In regards to your second statement, I have to put my hands up and say I am a culprit to this. You are very right about managing the trade, as this is where I have given my money back many at times.

I'm looking into that, but first I have to shake that thing off called GREED!!!. Maybe a bad day or two will correct that :p

I never held positions for that long, but than i started seeing what I was leaving behind and am starting to learn how to be patient. Initially, it was difficult as I just wanted a +, even if it was small and so I'd sell at the first opportunity. I too was a culprit of not adding positions...
