Inc, notice how everyone giving u advise only trade 1 or 2 contracts....

Goodmorning all. Started off the week with a nice profitable trade. The moment I got filled I hit the reply button in my journal. Price hanged there for less than a min so any followers did have time if they were lucky enough to click in time. The market opened up and I initially was...

out +10 @ 10550 :)

short 10560

Please post an actual trade with a chart. Saying I made this or that means nothing unless you are just trying to prove something so you can sell us something.

Seriously man, how is this a journey when all you do is post "I made X points" ? Its a journey if regardless of outcome, people discuss the trade with you and you and others grow together...

Great day as no news at 10pm to mess me up :) Dow opened up 50 pts and I took the first pullback long for +10. Nice to close the week up 31pts. Hopefully will continue. March: +31 1st wk: +10, +1, +10, -10, +10, +10 = +31 February: +59 2nd wk: +10, +10, +11, +10 = +41 3rd wk: +6...

Do you always make so many trades? Most of the entries are pretty good but why not cut down on the trades. Great chart. thanks for sharing

Up 5 days - NOT. Dow's been trading within a 60 pt range last 3 days. Nothing to get excited about.

Does anyone here actually trade the ES? Why doesn't anyone post a trade? Where are the trades? Where are the charts?

guys, i think increase needs first to realize where he is in his trading before taking any advise. Inc, you think this is easy. Its not. You need to understand that. You need to understand that jumping around methodologies and different contracts is not the way to trade. Sit back and...

Indeed :(

As the market trended lower and looked weaker and weaker I took another shot and shorted. Took +10 points so closed the day at 0 (-10 from previous trade and +10 from this one).

Stupid, stupid, stupid loss -10 Price setup great but again, like yty, it came at the time Pending Home Sales were coming out. These were worse than expectations and I ignored it. Stupid me. Since I was thinking long and the econ news was bad I should have waited 1st for a reaction. Oh...

Listen man, There are two type of people watching this thread. Both types understand trading better than you thing. The one type is watching you blow up and have fun watching you lose money. They encourage you to trade more because they are laughing at you. The second type is people...

+1 Read the above and re-read it until you get it.

Nice and easy +10 The run up and 1st pullback coincided with the ISM number. As soon as I saw the better the expected figure for ISM I pulled the trigger and was lucky to get an excellent entry. It had jumped up immediately on the announcement but came back, and I got in at 30 and exited at...

Today was a great example of following my plan and risk management. Besides my 10 pt max stop, I also have a time stop. That is, if the trade doesn't work in a few min from entry then I should starting thinking about loss minimization. I exited the trade for +1, and saved myself from a...

nice job, but you want to win the war not just a battle. therefore I recommend you post a chart and see if people can help you identify how you would make more money on that trade.

So you traded a couple of hundred contracts? Think that makes you an expert? I've traded over 1300 contracts (real) and thats just on the YM, and I still don't think I'm there yet. I think you still have alot to learn, and you would be doing yourself a favour if you stopped trading real-time...
