2 trades (-1) point Not bad I'll take it. Pretty nasty day for what I'm trying to do. Got some nice work in on my infant scalping system. I don't like seeing days like this. Daily Results (-1) Weekly Results (10.75) Hopefully quality opportunites tomorrow.

10:40 (MST) L@900.5 out at 901.5 (1) Coaxed into this trade by higher then expected positive volume per period. Probably should have stayed away. Had what I felt was temporarily strong support at 900. Thought it was worth a try. Still looking for a Breakout or Reversal.

I had a couple of people ask me to continue this so I will. Today so far Yuck!!! (-2) in at 898.25 @ 8:12 (MST) stopped out @ 896.25. It's turned into a nasty day for me. Not just because of the loss. I entered the trade for the correct reasons. Could have had a small profit (1) pt. Price is...

I've decided to Continue my Journal in private at home. I don't see any advantages to posting all this stuff here. I will continue to read many of your posts. However, I'm going to shut this baby down. I've had a lucky couple of days.

Perhaps it has to do with Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Its a free market, or at least it was.

I am fairly new to the board. Taking a time out during the Grinder. I was curious to know what board games everyone liked to play. I myself was a Monopoly Devotee. I also Loved Pit (gotta ring that bell), Risk and Chess. I'd play anything if it means competition. I have one of the most...

Will be sitting out untill 11:30 ish (MST). It will take something compelling for me to re-enter the market today. A strong reversal from 890 or a strong breakthrough would be enough to bring me back.

L @886.5 (9:25) MST out at 888.5 (9:40) (2pts) Reasons for entering trade. Fit Long criteria. MA Cross. Positive MACD. Reasons for exiting trade. Desire to avoid Grinder. Mandatory 2 point movement stop. Approaching R1. Reduced volume. In short it's time to leave. Take D-Mone

8:06 MST Short @ 874 out at 871. (3) Reasons for entering trade trade. Trade fit all my systems criteria for a short. Trade sunk under S1 at 875.84. I waited to Short at 874. Trade came very close to S2 at 870. I exited before hitting S2. (3) points.

OT emotionally I was spent. I elected to take the points and run. Granted I missed out on some points. I had support further down. However since it had been a mostly positive trending day I felt it was wise to take the points. I will not allow myself to feel bad about missing out. I'm here to...

Is Price

Thats 6.75 pts for the day on pace for a good week. I'm done. 2 trades today were good solid ones. My first trade was stupid and I deserved to lose that money. I jumped the gun. Abandoned all rules and got greedy. Didn't wait for conformation of trend. It looks like this thing may fall apart...

at 1:06 entered Short at 887.5 closed at 884

Silly me, I guess I'll just scrap this entire system I've been working on for 3 years. I'll just start trading 20 contracts instead. What was I thinking? I think, I'll start with one contract and go from there. Obviously point estimates vary. I'd be very pleased with 15-20 pts a week. Slow...

I've decided trying to do this while watching the ES is a horrible idea. I was hoping it would calm my nerves. Not happening. I will post results at the end of day. With exact times not bar periods.

(1) 8:22 Long 1 ES in at 882.5 shook out at 820.5 (2) 8:30 Long 1 ES in at 882.5 exited 887.75

This trade was a mistake. Overzealous to be in the market. Breakout was never really established. Got burned. Patience, Patience, Patience,

(-2) 8:22 (5.25) 8:35

I started a previous journal. They moved it. Today is my first day of trading real money. I've been running a simulator for the last month. Briefly describing my system. I watch 3 MA's, MACD, Volume, Pivots. Trying to catch major trends. This was a great day to begin trading real $$$. I suppose...

Thanks for the advice guys. I'm just going to proceed with my plan and continue to phase it in gradually. I do have the luxury of returning to school when I wish. I will graduate. I have been studying and preparing to trade for a few years now. I don't see a lot of value in this forum. I'm a bit...
