Whoa - boy, PointOne ... did that one ever 'hit home' like a freight train !! Awesome insight ! I want a t-shirt w/ the following inscription: "maximum discomfort to the hip-shooters" :D (considering my roots within that camp) Best regards ...

Thanks, bundlemaker - we will try to leave you enough time to trade ... occasionally :D Best regards ...

Thanks, Ezzy, for providing this exchange between you and bundlemaker. This offers some excellent food for thought. A quick read of the above is straightforward enough, but it will be truly internalizing these ideas and making the required personal shifts, where the real work lies ahead. I...

I would be interested in reading anyone's thoughts concerning the inclusion of the NFP action in our charting. I started my charts yesterday an hour early in order to include this information, since many consider it the most important report of each month. Often times this action will create the...

Today started off well enough, but I eventually allowed myself to get caught in the chop, and handed back most of the gains. Starting to sense a pattern to my Friday trading sessions :D Enjoy your weekend ...

Thank you, Vista, for your comments - all quite sound, and areas to which I need to devote much more effort and consideration. I do normally manage several decent entries per day, but I am also prone to some clunkers, which this style does help to minimize. For now, I am trusting that additional...

I'm not at my desk, as I'm running scans trying to clean up a corrupted machine, but I believe I caught a pretty good read today (kind of a rare occurrence - so they tend to linger in my mind :) ) within the timeframe you mention above. I'll try to relate what I was seeing at the time, while...

God bless ya, ivob!!! It's always: "do I add 5 min or subtract 5 min" ( depending on who's discussing the chart) And all it required was a single mouse click !! You rock!! :D

Today was a bit better, but more of the same ol', same ol' with my approach. Still grabbing the quickies, and choking off the better entries. Becoming more apparent that I can't have it both ways - either I just accept scalping, or I commit to holding for the better gains. I just don't...

I think I will just change my moniker to "SlimPickens" and be done with it.

Numerous interruptions this aft - was fortunate to escape the last trade of the day.

(Note to Ezzy - hope ya don't mind my copy/paste of your layout. Thnx ... :) --- How have your trades (real, simulated or monitored) go over the last week? Nothing earth-shaking, mind you, but modest, and more importantly to me, consistent sim results keep me coming back tomorrow! ---...

Nice sell-off this aft. Did I ride it - NO. Hmm - still more work to do. As the number of trades attests, I slipped back into my comfy scalper duds today. So Monday is out of the way - time again to try harder.

In plain English, today sucked. Blew an eight pointer (2 ct X 4 pt) early, and then just held , believing I would be offered the same profit potential later. Talk about completely misapplying the concept of 'hold'. I barely escaped this fiasco, and had to endure a large intraday equity swing for...

Don't despair, guavaman - we've all come from where you now stand. This stuff can simply overwhelm a person at times - especially when one begins to question his own abililties to actually comprehend what is being taught ( I speak of myself when stating this). At these times, it is helpful to...

Thanks, Tums - I appreciate the links!

Hello cnms2 - thank you for this reminder. These words in your above quote are quite straightforward; however, I am not yet to the stage of being able to say the same concerning their implementation. The path has indeed been blazed, but it is up to each individual to retain his footing as he...

Hopefully I can show up tomorrow, Tums. Apparently, malware has got the best of me here and I haven't determined yet what I can or cannot do on this machine. IE is totally corrupt, but luckily had Mozilla installed,and was able to get on line. The last bootup showed problems w/ Paltalk, so...

More of the same - quick to take profits in countertrend mode. It's quite evident I have a mental block against joining the trend, and I think it's exacerbated by the p/l - so, starting tomorrow, to hell w/ the p/l :eek:

Although the results are again quite modest, I felt better after today's session. It seemed that I was able to anticipate points of change a bit more accurately, although the market did oblige by providing some much clearer Gaussian forms to guide the way. I like to think I could have produced...
