I have decided to have another go at the futures riddle as there is no give up in me. The benefit is well worth the effort so another journal it is. I am down to 3 issues that have complicated my futures trading: 1. Moving away/cancelling stops Fear related. Nearly without fail, this...

Will pick one up then.. Not cheap! That's a good thing actually..

Haven't read Al Brooks yet.. anything really new??

D, I have created my full meditation recitals and everywhere I have read they really work but have not gotten myself to meditate once... Use stops to get INTO trades?? I have simmed NQ for a couple of weeks and stop entries have done a world of good. Previously I'd hesitate, the thing...

That Warren Buffet line was amazing... Sacrificing a lot of what you need for what you don't "need".. Neke.. imagine an equity chart with steady nice rises interrupted by periodic nasty waterfalls.... Now imagine eliminating the waterfalls... There has to be a broker out there with daily...

I think the markets try to train you to remove your stop.. Better to learn over time where to put it rather than remove it.. OR adjust you entries so your given fixed stop can survive. A fading system needs a very different stop from a breakout system.. Robert sorry to soil your thread..

Don't do it... I was short 1888 this morning and covered 1878 thinking that "should" hold.. never fading again.. Could be the day that breaks their backs... That said, hard support at 53.. :D

NQ formation... Ominous if that lower line gives.. definitely a tempting long here but must wait for some base to build..

You never tried a hard stop?? Some here have questioned hard stops but I have said SOONER OR LATER the "event" will happen. A catastrophic stop is a MUST DO or trading will never be successful long term...

THAT IS HILARIOUS!... soooo familiar... I remember once last year I was watching an NQ trade 6 points or so in my favor.. I was about to "take my money and run" as my rat mind usually recommends.. Phone rings and I leave the room while yaking.. I return 15 mins later and whooaa!!? 12 points now...

Robert, The times I have done well in trading are the times I have followed the trend like a coward. The times I did this there was a strange feeling I actually did not like. A feeling of I should be following my belief and instead of blindly following.. There seems to be reduced emotional...

Take this from an (so far) unsuccessful trader... A thorough morning preparation is key to avoiding "surprises" as surprises (movements other than what the unprepared trader expects) cause emotions to reach elevated levels... Next strong money management and limited trading in the direction...

Flat... AMR +6.2%, MIC -1.5%, HTCH +7.8% Off for rest of year..

Sold SANM 9.281... -.5% incredible Tech weakness today. Long MIC 10.26

Long AMR 7.13

Sold ROSE 17.87 +8.7% getting old Sold TRW 23.07 -4.8% didn't like the breakout failure yesterday..

JASO (Solar) nice setup.. had trigger but others went first.. Solars can be messy so no tears..

Yes that he is...:D Actually if you want a shipper NM probably the strongest of the group.. but volume has died on these things.. Filled to the brim.. all other triggers paused.. Long TRW, HTCH, SANM.. Holding ROSE

DRYS.. we go back a looong way... Building symmetrically nicely with declining volatility.. So yes it is "brewing" to do something.. needs to close 7.5 or so for long trade.. The shippers not exactly leading right now.

Sloppy trading Rashid... so why didn't you set the AMR trigger?? has gained 27% since.. UAUA, CAL, LCC, AMR THE most powerful sector last 5 days..
