bias (even if valid) is an amazing thing... had long signal 1806 NQ.. could not take it.. "someone is trading against us"..

Shorts must be sweating here... This in NOT supposed to be happening..:D

Cup and Handle in the making???... March right around the corner and many remember last Year...

Morning Prep.. Seems 1810 area should be a no-brainer short. The daily looks though like yesterday's bottom will hold so will watch if we head back down there... "Looks" like a potential Cup and handle in the making if we stay above that low... New Homes Sales, Bernanke, AND Geithner...

Well said... I see some threads where traders want X per day but simply doesn't work that way.. no worries I will improve.. just a matter of time and that I have I hope.

I use TOS just for charts courtesy of Ameritrade no charge. That's whcy I am currently manually putting my trades on charts..:mad: TOS looks like a bear to trade with though.. so much to wade through.. No system can fully save a man from himself, only time and pain.

Hmmm... when I am in that place.. overwatching and overvaluing my little gain in my mind (there are reasons for this, trust me), I doubt the DoD, FBI, and CIA can stop me from clicking.. The only solution which I will never give up working on is to leave the crime scene before the crime...

Will torture myself no more today watching what should have been.. Closed another trade early. Had stop comfortably at 1801 but reacted to the nearly meaningless grind to 1799, cancelled preset cover at 1788.5 and took 1796. Hopefully this problem will be gone once I work up to multiple...

XLF.. Downright rude breakdown and recovery.. shows at the very basic level, TL's are just lines on a screen to be used only when confirmed... Now what??

Same for Hourly

Matches Hourly nicely

Watching lower TL for cover..

To Lower NQ TL matches 1790 support well..

Morning Prep.. Well the 1825 was satisfied overnight with an even better trip to 1828.. Rounding top not a good sign but only useful if confirmed with a decline under 1810. Thinking short at this point (Hourly TL broken).. 1819 to 1822 good areas.. IF 1829 area is seen again then will short...

I find tick charts to be cleaner to read and summarize the overnight session nicely. Definitely preference as I've heard of superstar traders that use minute charts all the time..

Felt like work today.. takes a lot of focus to trade just nearly well.. Struggled with patience today as I had to wait to get paid. Need to get used to it as a lot of days are like this. All I am being asked to do is sit and wait. First and Last swings of the day the best ones as usual...

Probably.. GOOG has been the weakest thing on the planet.. AAPL needs to help out though.. 200 has been a magnet but looks like a large H&S on the daily - head 210 to 215.. may build 1 or 2 shoulders defining the monster.. I had a short from 1818 looking for 1806 but 1812 held too well so I took...

And it just did.. great.

Really don't "feel" like taking a long here but it is about to say "go"..
