Hope everyone had a good trading session today. I was +32 ticks on the day (average ticks per contract traded). Could have been a better day, but I had a few trade management issues. If you missed the real-time trading session this morning you can find the recording on my blog...

Here's a cool article I wrote today. It's on using MAE MFE to enhance your trading in a creative way. http://indextrader7.blogspot.com/2013/02/daily-sit-down-with-it7-mae-and-mfe.html Hope you enjoy. Also, I'm broadcasting my trading session live every morning. Stay tuned.

BTW, the reason I have it on my own site is for the cool youtube embed thing. Instead of wading through the hours of boredom, you can use the "next" buttons at the bottom to skip to the next trades of the day! Pretty savvy.

Hello all, I've started broadcasting my trades in real time using Google+ Hangout. I know when I was starting out, I would have LOVED to have been able to see a trader, grind it out, emotions, boredom, etc, all there in real time... on the hard right edge. Since you guys weren't on the...

I've been carrying this thread on at multiple forums. I am consolidating my trading journal to one place because it's too much work keeping multiples. I'll be over at Big Mike's Trading Forum. Journals section - "short term TF trading". See you around.

+26 ticks today <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ZaXdIAJzRYY?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I haven't ever experienced problems with the chart trader. To this day I can't see the minimize, restore, close buttons at the top right of the main window, but that's ok with me. I'm actually new to tradestation since March. I was with an IB to OEC, prior to the switch.

Made a couple live trades today. I'd received a couple requests to do so. Here you go: Screenr - indextrader7: live trade Got caught in a early trendline break, and added to the position at the 250 tick support level. Managed the first position to +1, and the 2nd to +15 ticks. Screenr -...

Here's some stats I keep up with to measure efficiency of my trading. It's a slightly different take on the old MAE/MFE concept combined with the trade efficiency concept. I've never seen them charted like this elsewhere. TOP LEFT CHART - TOTAL EFFICIENCY Tells me, from the time I entered...

Done trading for the day. Really focused on trading short term swings on my lowest timeframe today (50 tick). Took 18 trades in an hour, which is very busy for me. I'm kind of at that point in trading where I have a couple different ways I can trade profitably, and I'm trying to figure out what...

50 and 250 I think. But I've had a few at this point.

Completely agree about finding the right timeframe. Too short and you get too many false signals/noise. What do you use for TF?

Yes, there was a good looking inverse H&S there, it appears about 1:24 into the video. The thing is that since it was such an uptrend, I wasn't really looking for trades from the short side. I try to be patient and wait for the trades that make sense with the trend/bias. I'm not always so...

I'll be posting a "hindsight" review video shortly. It's something I always do when I don't trade a day, and it might help you guys see how I analyze charts.

Looking at the markets today, looks like there was some potential (easy to say in hidsight of course). It was nice to get out on the golf course, although I didn't shoot that good of a round... still love being out there. Hope everyone killed it. Enjoy the weekend. OH, I wanted to share...

I can't say for sure how I decided on the tick size for my charts. I've tried everything from a 2 range chart, to 4hour charts. I suppose it comes down to finding the right time frame to fit your own personality and trading style. Mainly personality, because your trading style should fit...

That's good trading my friend! Selective trades, well managed.
