Trade 3: Hit my stop and then reverse down to my target (not shown) :(

Been a tough week. Losses in every day but one. Today, lost all all three trades, 3 pts each :( Had enough for today and got a headache so shutting down. First trade I tried a long with POC and dvg support (-3). When that failed and the market pushed down I figured I could get profit from...

Took a long off the POC which I scratched for -1 pts after I saw a couple of down candles. Too bad cause it would have went to my target but still good to scratch as not much follow through. Then I scratched a short for 0 pts. So far so good. Bad thing was I remained in short mode and...

How true, how true! It must have happened to me a zillion times. NoDoji, this deserves to be in a book. My vote for best quote ever! Matcha, its tough but you need to get in the state of mind where you don't care if its a trend day and you didn't get any of your setups going. At the...

Again just 1 trade yty. Wasn't really my typical setup, as price never came close to the POC. One could say that it got close and bounced. But want to be a little strict as I'll end up in risky situations. Anyway, I tried to get in with the strong trend. Took a long but scratched it when...

Thanks! Also forgot to mention that the previous day's POCs (dotted lines) were yty's UVA and LVA and so I left them there. Nice reaction :)

Only 1 trade yty. I look a long at 3017 with my stop at 3010 (low) and 3027 tgt. Target was hit pretty quickly. The market opened above yty's POC of 3021 and pushed down. As you see on my chart there was 2 dotted lines. These are the 2 POCs from the day before. Market sold off the...

Yeah, its a tough one. Sometimes taking yourself out is the right thing to do and sometimes letting the market prove you wrong is the right thing to do. But also sometimes, you let the market prove you wrong and just after it proves you wrong, it reverses and pisses the hell out of you...

Second chart for yty.

Valentine's day wasn't too good to me. I picked a fight with the trend. Got in too early and dropped -5 pts. Got in long again. Better trade with divergence support. Scratched it for +1 pt just in time. In the afternoon, I took 2 trades. Both scratched for -2 pts and 0 pts. I was too...

Made some profit today but should have made more on my last trade. Shouldn't complain but need to be improving. Overall my performance so far has been ok but far from good enough for it to become a career. On my first trade I nailed +9 points after a rebound off the POC of yty with...

Yeah I dropped a few pts too yty but earlier in day on FESX. Some days our reads are off and sometimes emotion comes in and clouds our judgement. It's just something we have to work on so as to keep the damage as low as possible. Even the best atheletes in the world have bad days. Good...

Yty's trades (02/10): Didn't get a chance to participate in the push down in the morning and was a little pissed about it. It moved down strongly and through the POC (3007) from Feb 4th. That POC though was not virgin, but still I expected some sort of rotation/pullback. I wanted to get...

Today, I missed the oppty in the morning as I was waiting from some more information and was suspect of how price would react. In afternoon, when price returned, again I was suspect. In the end, after I saw price move sideways for over 2 yrs and it appeared that price found support I decided...

Bad start to the week. I traded in the balance area and got whipsawed 3 times in a row :( I should have waited for a breakout or a move before taking a position. Trade 1: Market moved a bit up and pulled back. Took a long but in no time lost 5 pts. Trade 2: At the time I figured...

Awesome job! Great work!!!

Consistancy and discipline is what is important. If you got that and a liquid market then $$$ will follow. If you start off trading using real money (like me) then you are an idiot. Start on sim. When consistant move to 1 contract live, then if still consistant move to 2 contracts, etc...

I found it difficult today. Just when you would expect a move, it seemed to me that the market would just freeze and stay there. I had lot of scratches. Not all of them should have occured as a couple were due to some hastiness. Something to work on. After the market pushed down to 3001...

Thanks!

Please go back and read post No.1. Real trades around 1900. And for your information, this compares around 120 sim trades. This statistics is over my entire trading history. Now get off my journal. Smart arses are not welcome here.
