Man, today was so close to being a huge day for me...Still on the SIM...and will be until stated otherwise... Still came out with a nice positive day. I think I need to do a better job of recognizing days like today where we have these long waves with nice breakouts and figure out what I need...

Gotta love that SIM money...how's the SIM Ferrari driving these days? :D

Ya thanks Im aware of the pitfalls with ToS so Im trying to keep it as real as possible...so Im watching limits/stops for selling on the offer buying on the bid, etc, etc

So Im on the SIM today and for the foreseeable future...really tough day overall, trend was up but chopped around most of the day. It was really really hard to stay focused and not get completely bored since I was on the SIM. I was thinking about how to handle SIM trading today and I think Im...

Ya i've use the On Demand feature pretty regularly. The major issue I have is Im not attached emotionally to losing trades on the SIM. So if I do something and it doesn't work out...oh well. But in real life, obviously its not like that. At this point, I don't think that matters...as you...

Uhhh, where can I get a costume like that for Halloween? Awesome.

I think Im going to do that tomorrow...SIM and post my results...pretty good idea, thanks..hopefully, by posting, I can take more ownership on the SIM. I think what you said describes how Im feeling and I REALLY REALLY don't want to blow up...have absolutely no interest in doing that.

Hi Everyone, So as a struggling newbie...I thought it would be a change of pace to start a pity party. Here's a place to post your frustrations, bad days, stupid rules you violated, vents, etc. A place to poke fun at yourself. Please don't take anything said here personal and don't take...

Matcha, Im getting ready to start a pity party...want to join? :) From my newbie/struggling like crazy point of view...it looks like you are trying to do too much... you have bull/bear traps, wedges, triangles, vwaps, Market profiles, s/r lines, fibs all sorts of stuff written in this...

Theres not much I can say about today other than Im really frustrated. Today was not a fun trading day for me. I know you guys say Im hard on myself, but Im just really frustrated Im not "getting" it. And by getting it, in my case, Im talking more about not being...

I should also note the 49ers won yesterday and the number "49" did not appear today. The stars are aligning :) Oh, I also heard the dog next door bark 14 times. ha! :p

Not a bad day for me. Market was rather unexciting today. I've got a bit of a new routine in the early morning due to my significant other, so that is going to take some adjusting for the 1st hour of trading or so. I missed a trade early on b/c of that, but Im glad I chose just to stay away...

Quick update... no trades on Friday...just watched part of the day, but was busy doing other stuff off and on. Now that Im watching football today, I've decided my emotional tie to the 49ers is why Im doing so crappy. The '9ers suck right now so I suck right now :) J/K gotta vent about how...

NoD, This is a bit how I felt on my second trade. However as I said, I was going against the overall trend. Other than that, what would you say about why it failed to bounce off the bottom of the channel at 1170ish? For me, it was the 4th attempt, volume had dried up a bit toward the...

So here is my write up from yesterday...Rough day. I think my inexperience really showed up today as I really felt I only had 1 major error during the day but still wound up down pretty big. Like I said earlier, definitely a learning day. Im not terribly torn up about it but it always sucks...

Hey guys, sorry i haven't had time to put up my summary for the day. Super busy since after the market closed and still doing some stuff. Anyway, I will get it out tomorrow, not sure if Im trading tomorrow as I have "life" things to do. But quickly, I got owned by the market today. Im...

Ya I see what you are saying...I made a mistake on exactly what we are talking about this morning... I went long at 1175.25 around 7:45 this morning...was surprised this trade didn't work out or move at least a bit in my direction, but what I failed to realize (correct me if Im wrong), that...

How important are the Macro Trends to you guys? It just seems not all that important given that Im in trades usually less than an hour. Don't get me wrong, I like to have an idea/framework of what is going on, but it doesn't seem like a huge problem to get it right/wrong since the hold times...

Do you use a momentum indicator or anything of the sort? I like the grid format cuz like you said, you can see volume and momentum On your higher time frame charts, the resistance levels on the uptrend have been funny...There are plenty of places to draw resistance and it seems we keep...
