Also I think this is the second week that I was about breakeven. Not trading very many shares, but focusing on learning and brininging some consistency. Not anywhere near what I will eventually trade. Not trading to make money...more like not loose too much while im learning and I think Im doing...

P&L= +$41.00 Shares Traded=600 SPY +41.00 Long=133.77, stop= 167.77 , Sold=133.18 Got long after the market broke higher with momentum. Got in at the pullback. Exited after the market extended higher. Market grinded higher the whole day, frankly didn't trade it because I thought we...

6/30/11 Not much to note today...down about $14.00 on the day. Took two trades. One a scalp that was impulsive and led to a $14.00 loser. Didn't trade much after that except for a scratch in SPY. Today was more of a day of observation...especially of the tape. With the help of Bano at...

One question, do you trade based solely on setups? I have not met one trader at my firm that doesn't use a healthy amount of discretion on their trades. They may enter based on technicals, but its always for some other reason and alot of times feel based. "The feel" is something that I hear...

Hmmmm I haven't. I guess I presumed it would be harder to enter after the move already starts. I guess it also depends on what type of move I a looking for in the overall market. Another question I will have to ask myself before putting on these types of trades. I am attempting to limit my risk...

Yep, it helps in a certain regard. But watching things in real time gives a totally different perspective. The speed, extent, and prints of the market as it unfolds is a great learning environment. Throughout the day I continually ask myself...what is happening now and what could happen...and...

I'll take some your suggestions into consideration. One of the head traders in the room trades mostly from the tape in Nasdaq and NYSE listed stocks...so i believe you!
