I use an automatic 2 point stop. Technically trade still valid till a close under 1868 or so (some say it should be just inside the breakout at 1871.5.. where I had it) but good trades work immediately so I don't give that much room.

Yes we will likely push to 1890, BUT have to work on consistency. 10 never bad to take and leave.. The duller the day, the better I do.. +10.25 for day...

Always trade the dailies.. even when daytrading.. If this were a stock I would never question the direction. There is a top currently around 1970 for NQ to keep eye on. Will watch to see how long gap lives this morning to decide to get on the train... 1863 area obvious get in price.

What made it difficult is I got my exit signal and usually it will spend SOME time backfilling but today I kept moving up my bid up and up and up.... This happens rarely enough it should not be a big deal but my mental state changed noticeably after.. Tomorrow Should be "interesting".. There...

Some days I take small profits, build up, leave early... Then greed shows up. There are prices where one simply shouldn't be trading... Ok if you just don't know... but when you do know that's the worst.. Of course sooner or later the market shows you you didn't know after all... :p TRADE...

Sold early dip 1854 and refused to take 8 point profit at CLEAR support. Even though range is so clear when each end is reached I begin thinking it will break!.. Nope.. 8 points disappeared to a scratch trade. Then a new Range developed.. 1850 to 1854.. too small to trade but I did.. 5 times...

One of the more difficult days to read in a while.. Not quite a trend day, Not quite a chop.. a little bit of everything thrown in with slow pace.. Survived it as not a day I could cleanly say not to trade... All that was clear was upper 50's had resistance. Main error was focusing on 1857 a...

Morning Prep.. The daily cup and handle broke yesterday which should mean new highs soon but data later this week may change that. Converging TL's on the hourly into 1850 to 1858 (bottom of January box) should at least slow progress. Steep hourly Trendline a bit too steep to survive long so a...

Quiet day... Bought early breakout and closed for +9 at lunchtime..

Not good for the short camp.. Yesterday's 1819.75 high VERY important.

Today shows more than ever that anything is possible in the markets so leave your biases at home.. Also stresses the dangers of reading news (the best trader trades from an island with only access to things, charts, execution platform, and the timing of important news released during market...

When you said 1099 this morning I was sure you were mad... I am learning..

Forget the "grind" part.....:D

NQ grind back to 1798 area??

Rashid.. NO CHASING... better to get a system entry lower.. You miss it, oh well.. Hate gaps!

That's 1098 which my biased mind doubts.. I think 1094/5 best shot..

Morning Prep... ES could barely look worse.. big H&S formation. Importance of 1090 can't be overstated.. A break and hold will spell this week as a true lower high on the daily.. NQ a bit stronger.. sitting on it's Trendline.. Still it could hold and head back to 1809-ish today but how...

Break of TL also.. hard to get any uglier..

Missed (refused?) key trade of day (so far) but finished ok... Complete control otherwise.. a short stop at 1810 may be a good idea but don't want to baby-sit have other things to do.. +8.25 for the day..

If 1830 crossed again, should be a VERY quick trip to 1900.
