    Hi XRoads, Thank you very much for your assessment on our trading progress. I will take your advice and re-evaluate my trading strategies. I will seriously CHANGE what has not been working for me. I once heard from someone who is wise said, "do the same thing over and over again and expecting...

    Hi LuckyLucy, Thank you very much for your support. Yes, you are right. The emotion of fear is detrimental to a trader's success. I know I am also capable of doing some "crazy" things after a big loss day which will lead to another big loss. I wish we all can kick those "not very good...

    Hi Matcha, Thank you very much for your support. I've got to kick that "not very good habit". I should not allow the bad trades to impact the subsequent ones. Otherwise, there is no place for me in this business. I think as of now, one of my worst obstacles is I often do the opposite of...

    Hi Matcha, First of all , congrats to another winning week! Especially the very nice profit on your LIVE trading day. As for using stop orders or limit orders, I find it easier (for me) to get into a trade using STOP orders when I am doing with-trend setups. I use LIMIT order sometimes...

    Thank you Matcha. Even though it's a risky short, you did well to ride the momentum down. Good timing with quick action! You were ahead by 2 steps to take into consideration the H1 would most likely failed. You are trading more and more like a pro!!!!! :) --po

    Hi Matcha, Good gain on 1 trade. Same here, I found today's PA has a bit of everything. Up-dn-up-dn-up. Some sort of trending range day. Your trade #1, was that a L1 setup on a 2 min chart? It's kind of difficult to identify on the 5 min chart. My trading today: Only 1 LONG trade...

    Hi Matcha, Beautiful trade nonetheless! Trade #3 worked according to plan. Very nicely done with the tight stops on the other 2. Be on guard for those CT opportunities. I know it's hard for me to resist the temptations at times. For me: SOH today. Just watching. --po

    Hi Matcha, Thank you for your encouragement! Work 1-2 hours a day sounds great to me! :) Then I will have all the time to watch TV shows and Hulu videos. :) :) I can see why you are skeptical about this Timothy guy. Wow! WSW season 1 & 2 all in 2 nights. You've got to add to your...

    Hi Matcha, Happy One Year Anniversary to YOU!!!!! You have accomplished a lot in your Freshman Year!!!!! As my one year mark is coming up next week, I reflect on what I have learned since last February: - I need to have more discipline. Discipline to stick to a trading plan. A plan...

    Hi Matcha, Thank you very much for your support. This week I only have small gains. Nothing really significant. My goal is to have small but consistent profit for now. Then, the next step is to have enough confidence to increase on the size instead of the frequency of trades. I know I am...

    Hi Matcha, What matters this week for you was you had a winning week. You have a positive profit factor. Largest winning trade to losing trades was 2:1. And the most important one that counts was on Monday. You picked the right day to trade LIVE using your analysis prior to the RTH. You...

    Hi Matcha, I think so far this week you have demonstrated that you are a very good defensive player. You win big but lose small. I think it may have somewhat caused you to be a bit cautious to pull the trigger. Decisiveness will come when you have 100% confidence in your trading plan. Right...

    Hi Matcha, After 2 strong up days, today's PA has been in a narrow consolidation phase. I took 4 trades today: 2 Shorts after mid morning (1+, 1-) and 2 Longs in 2nd half of the day (2+), net gain +1.75 ES pts. Good trading to you tomorrow! --po

    Hi Matcha, You are not alone! I felt bad all day that I could not be more productive in an UP day like today. Looking back, the up trend in the morning didn't give good BUY signals using Al's strategies on the 5 minute chart. There were no clear cut H2 setups nor the pullback retracement went...
