Quick update (got a tax return due today); felt a little off today but in review of trades they look good. I was off though in that I was trading sept contract first couple trades and kept thinking why is the spread so weird and volume slow. Duh ! Flipped over to Dec contract. Got in to office...

Uneventful, slow, range markets. Lost a few points in NQ , no CL trades. Patience should be the norm for me now so it's not worth mentioning I had good patience. I did my job today.

Thanks Handle, thanks RN. Traded Sim last Friday for a loss. Still wasn't feeling 100%. Feeling better this weekend and did some review. Got a bit more review to do. Plan on trading tomorrow. Been visualizing the patience and set ups i'll be looking for. Slept a lot last week. jas

I can't take credit for this one. I couldn't get out of bed ! Hoping to sim tomorrow. Should be fully recovered by this weekend. Thanks Iwilldoit and thanks Handle. jas

no trading today. Started feeling lousy yesterday afternoon. Saw doctor today. Should be fine soon. Took some Bonine for the dizziness and already feeling better. Can't remember name of the condition but nothing to worry about. Not trading tomorrow.

Will do RN. Had my hangover Saturday ;). Today, biking, reviewing charts, yoga, resting and mentally thinking about the patience I'll be bringing in the morning. see ya tomorrow jas

the bit at about around 20:00 about anchoring is very interesting too I've had that book on the shelf for awhile and still haven't read it. Soon hopefully. Now, gotta mow the lawn... jas

Thanks Hooti, great video. i agree it definitely applies to trading. Another one that helped me was hearing about Prospect Theory. My understanding is it states "One becomes more risk seeking after a loss and more risk averse after a win" Which explains why one does revenge trading and cut...

Thanks, Handle. ping pong balls, that's great !

I'll do more review later and maybe another update. (got a friend in town. doing lunch soon) After the fact appears it was a slow pre-holiday range market. For my first series of trades I had a couple full stops, some late mouse click/bad fills and a nice trade to target that didn't fill so...

Thank you. I didn't see that on the econ. calendar. Still things to learn

Holy smokes I go down to make a smoothie and oil explodes. short covering ? wow.

I agree with you. In the past I'd see price go beyond my target and then start moving targets on other trades. Not doing that anymore.

Hi KP, Just posting them for the "PA doesn't work/post a live call/show us your PnL/oh, that's photo shopped' crowd. Although they're probably not hanging out here. Here's last 2 weeks from this computer. Only traded NQ. I still haven't looked at my mini blow up a few weeks back but will post...

Well, I did screw up. Got tired and thought about shutting down but took a couple more trades. finished -4 ticks instead of +15. Then I shut down. Got in late today missed a few moves. Traded well until I just kept going. Were the last two valid trades ? Probably context was not the best...

I agree. This day has to be old history by tomorrow. Need to be unemotionally focused on the present. :) Right. jas

I thought the early price action was tough too. A lot of action in the middle of the range. Nice job today ! jas

Well, I pretty much killed it today. That is, I traded the plan well and it paid off nicely. Mostly traded CL after inventory report. I was using 25 tick targets and that was leaving money on the table. Didn't move my targets though. Not once. :) That's pretty huge. When I switched over to NQ...

thanks handle. I've exchanges emails with Ninja. Everything works fine if I log into IB then ninja but if I log into Kinetick then IB , Ninja won't calc mfe mae. They know it's bug. It's why all my PnL's I post don't have data for those columns. Actually it really irritates me that they...

I'll get there. I need to do this in stages. Relates to something I discovered in this trading journey. Inner critic and all that stuff :rolleyes: :) jas
