a small profit today. I was short for the whole day so there were times I though I was going to have a very good day and times I though I was going to give it all back. Being a Mechanical trader, my system doesn't tell me to do anything in between.

good afternoon to everyone: there was to big of a gap between the close of the june es emnin contract and the close the of sept es emini contract and my lack of experience didin't know how to interpret that gap. so I sat out today and didn't trade. front month change scares me a little. vivian

i really am thankful for the encouragement i get here. very few told me to quit and take a break.

You guys have a absolutely exellent point and I have noticed in the back of my mind putting a little extra preasure on myself. but im not going to let it effect my trading. if i don't post a statement the next day, its probably because im feeling bad (us women have feelings) but ill eventually...

fridays trade june 3, 2005

all I can say is that I feel really terrible for two reasons: ive had losing trades and I can honestly say that I was starting to lose my courage to post those trades. Ive been trying to present myself as someone who doesn't care about this money and trade carefree. but the last three trading...

Seth when i started at 20K i was trading 2 or 3 lots and when i lose i go down according to a very firm cash schedule. and the same is if i win.

i would like to keep my profits at about $2,000 on my winning days and my losses under $1,000. thats my goal. not always achievable but atleast something to shoot for.

im trying to be a mechicanical trader. im trying to do exactly what the computer screen says. sometimes in a profitable situation, i get out early. today was a small profit and did what i was suppose to.

today was a winner. so i got a little back from yesterday. I wasn't satisfied that I followed my system EXACTLY. I will work on that each day.

tuesday wasn't a very good day for me. in fact i had my biggest loss. and you know what I did, i kept procrastinating all day from opening my emailed trading statement. I didn't want to look at what I already knew which was a bad day. But I tell myself, this is just a game for me. Im going to...

my system did not generate any trades today. ill be back tuesday.

I have now had two losing days in a row. I have had two losing days in a row before but never three. i imagine tomorrow will be slow just like the last two so if I lose tomorrow, maybe I can say my algorythms dont work and low volumn days. who knows. vivian

i thought today was kind of slow but I was able to get alot of household things done. today was a small loss. Im still waiting for my really big loss and am wondering if Im going to feel the same way about losing.

tuesday was a hard day to handle especially since i promised myself to not get out of any trade early so i waited till close to the end of the day before I was able to exit. I did get to practice my patience and had a small profit. Im starting to realize that this is a very good profession for...

here is my statement

raising teenage sons by far is the hardest thing ive ever had to do in my life. especially when there was some alchohol and drugs involved. yes my children know of this little bet between me and my husband.

i didn't do very well today in the area of my disciplin. I was profitable but I didn't follow exit rules. in other words, I got out early. My system is still long probably until the end of the day. I don't like the way I feel for what I did. I didn't follow my rules. I feel like swearing at...

i learned a few things from everyone posts especially the encouragement and the honesty. Lets face it, no matter how hard I tried to teach my sons and daughter, the only thing that really worked imo was to encourage and be honest and sometimes discipline. then they would take ahold of that. but...
