I think I'm seeing something in my approach that I haven't been able to see before. A set-up/signal in and of itself doesn't mean one has a trade. Meaning --> if one has a set-up present, it really has to be considered inside of PA context. Another meaning--> PA CONTEXT is favorable, and the...

SLA/AMT provided me with great technical knowledge...mean reversion, trend channels, interpreting ranges/rejections, and also how a "mean/median" is important to look at. While DB doesn't provide any entry/exit details, it's clearly and intentionally vague or left out. It's a great tool to...

Very Quick recap and off to work. TA --> 5 trades. 2 W and 3 L = +$43 One signal taken that apparently wasn't my signal. Method needs further clarification and work. More specifics. But, this needs to be accomplished only if my mind is in the right spot. The last thing to do is tweak TA out...

Two days in a row now it sounds like you are fearful of something 20 minutes into the close. What is it?

TD--> you were right. Coincidence with new computer. TS finally got back to me. They are experiencing issues with SIM stop-market orders, and OSO orders. Specifically all futures accounts. Oh well.

Today has been aggravating to say the least. :mad: Old computer died and I spent the weekend getting the new one ready for trading/life/business. I worked hard testing all of the settings to ensure a glitch-free day. That didn't happen. Immediately when the market opened today, a trade was...

Great insigh RN. I would agree if you use PnL as measuring stick, this doesn't exactly show you Yukoner, whether you did your job well. Got other measuring sticks for that? Can do your Job REALLY well, and still have a losing day. -JS.

Good job jas. April will be here before you know it. -js

I find myself curious about yesterday's--or the day before's--question pertaining to max daily loss limit. Yet today, it seems you obviously had no daily loss limit. I'm just stating what I see, so do you think there is any correlation? If I read your post correctly, you were up $800, not once...

Thanks RN. That is a great exercise. I probably "should have" done that from the beginning today. Shoulda Woulda I know.

I'm new so grain of salt. But maybe let your daily loss, be smaller percentage loss compared to your average daily gain. ie, daily average gain is $500, make daily loss limit less than average gain, for times sake say $300. In my mind, when one is consistent, the daily loss limit is easily...

Thanks jas. It was a toughy. But I'm still here and ready learn more! I'll add it as a filter too before my day begins.

Quick Recap I'm off to work. Later this week I'll post technical reviews of this mornings trades. I have plenty to work on for the next week until I'm back to trading, I work the rest of the week. ============= Mental Analysis: This morning woke very fatigued from an overnight migraine...

The positive reinforcement loop is great! Eventually, there won't be any more conflict/forcing. It will just flow. Embraced. I'm glad you are learning. Good stuff. I like reading your updates and other follow ups. -js

We're you disappointed because your changed your trade plans? It's great you had an up day! I'm faced with this temptation sometimes too. The more I deny it and stay objective, the quieter the voice becomes. Many fears come up for me when tempted to change a plan. I work on eliminating those...

Preface: I've been wondering when there would be a day when the daily objective isn't met quickly. That day was today. It was a day filled with great practice. Today was a great day for practicing objectivity, staying neutral, and trusting myself to continue executing flawlessly. Today's motto...

seattle offensive coordinator was paid off. First Brady's balls, now this!?! Lynch for the win. No wait, let's pass it.

That's the plan. :-)
