Market was pushing higher and higher. Was taking all the info in, trying to figure out what was going on. I understand there were some news and rumours on Greece. Then a large down bar with increased volume. What to make of this? Was the trend now off? or was it setting up a pullback long...

Took a -5 pt stop on my short after the double top. My mistake was the very tight stop place which was within the previous bar. I should have put the stop at the top of that bar which was 3 pts away and was never hit :( I didn't like the risk reward and adjusted my stop which was wrong. I...

HH, HL = change in trend from short to long

No more shorts for now. This just doesn't seem like it wants to drop and anymore. Weird. Could be the spring from the higher timeframe. Perhaps opportunistic longs have entered the market. Some down bars but just not convincingly strong down bars.

Shorted again for +4 (in at 1973, out at 1969) :)

Out 1970 :) +5

Just shorted STOXX at 1975

STOXX has dropped 100 pts from HOD. Spring on the 30min and on the 5min with all indicators oversold and price action hinting that price would pause and start that pullback we were waiting for. Decided I could scalp for a few points. Got in for a countertrend scalp at a good price. Made +4...

Made another 3pt yty off a long. So made 11 pts yty in total. Not bad as it met 2 days of target. But overall wasn't too happy with my trading to be honest. I think I overtraded a bit and took a trade which was too aggressive based on my plan. New day today and europe since the open has...

Hey Jas, Hope all is well. Have you considered trading the 5min chart instead of the 1min? Price action probably doesn't have much meaning on the 1min. I trade the STOXX (index is around 2000) and while I initially thought of taking bigger slices I focus now on 5 pts off the 5min. Later...

First pullback short: +5pts Then tried to put on another short but scratched it. If I kept it on it would have worked. Price continued down but I was busy and missed an oppty. Then a big pullback came in. This pullback resulted in a HH ! So possibility for end of downtrend. But still...

I'm back to trading and posting. I thought of starting a new journal but is there a point? Not really. Is this a fresh start? Nope. But just the continuing journey to trade profitably and consistantly. Alot of personal problems popped up which really affected my trading. For one, I...

Got in too early and took a 5 pt hit at the top of the swing. If I waited a bit I could have made 5-6 points or gotten out at breakeven at worse. :( Missed 2 really good oppties the last 2 days which would have bagged some nice profits but was a away from computer. My absense from the screen...

i do :) some of my trades are sim, some are real. I personally post them all :)

Took a long at 2936. Was targeting 2944. When it looked like it was struggling to make a new swing high (@2940), I put my stop at breakeven which was hit. Trades so far: JAN: W:11 L:17 E:2 Won: +48 Lost: -69 Monthly P/L (in pts):-21 FEB: W:19 L:24 E:14 Won: +90 Lost: -73 Monthly P/L...

Did a few scratched on Friday to fulfil my real-time trading account requirement (need min 10 trades to have platform for free). Also got +3 from a long which failed. I prefer to exit rather than ride and hope. Not a bad week. Made +12 points so can't complain. Didn't feel like there were...

Yesterday (Wed), I took +7 points out of one trade which appeared after what looked like a double top. I really wanted it to go to the POC before shorting but never made it. Didn't risk much as my stop was close above. Nice trade. That top ended up being the top of the day. Trades so...

Tuesday, took a trade which I scratched for +1. I really should have held on for a bit longer. I really need more confidence when I got it right. Price gapped down and it looked like the move was exhausted and would make a move to close the gap. Took the long but got scared as it wasn't my...
