This is disappointing... So he's a fraud or does he really trade?

One and done, no point in risking any more today. Bought at the point where I see highest point of success (above sellers). I had multiple time frame confirmation and trend up.

Clearly no edge.

Another theme I need to emphasize with my own trading that I have noticed that those traders that are consistently profitable do is trade by exception. That usually means they do a couple if not 1 trade per day. Yet another one of those trading paradoxes; less is more.

I have been working most week days these last few weeks and not placing trades. Of course I continue to study, and find some way to objectify the market. Simple things such as support and resistance and moving averages are just tools that help you see price action a little more clearly...

First trade I've placed in a while. I'm still in the process of revising my edge. Good: With the trend entry, 1st pullback Bad: Opened 5 contracts which was a mistake, so I exited quickly. No more trades today.

Man oh man... Traded the plan... I don't even know what to say. Every trade I opened just went straight to my stop.... Maybe wider stops? Feels like my edge is simply an illusion...

I've done back testing on the same edge since early Jun this year. The stats look the same regardless of time frame used, or market (i.e. very robust in nature). It's a very simple method for identifying the first few pullback reversals in trends composed of moving averages. I have support...

Calling it quits, been up since 8pm yesterday.. Ok... Good: Followed plan took low risk trades. Predefined exit before each trade. Scratched bad trades fast. Bad: Played around with charts and missed many good trades. However, I think I finally found something that works better than...

U sir, have not spent a single day doing homework :)

Good: Stayed out of trouble. Bad: Missed the best trades in multiple commodities. I was playing around with charts when the market opened. Unfortunately, the best trades were already gone when I finished changing around my chart and started watching the market. I went long gold and...

What a difference a written plan and nightly study make. I'm determined not to join the 95% today... I let one 6E trade slip, and I'm pushing it right now, so I'm calling it early (been up since 6 pm yesterday). I just watched as the 6E broke down around 5 am but took the second trade I saw...

Today I turned 25. I completely wasted the trading day. I was distracted and was never watching the right contract at the right time. Obviously this doesn't lead to success. I'm going to revise my plan a little because I think I have too many indicators. First of all they are all price...

market is a healthy whore, you just gotta know where to find her

Originally, I was adamm2: 1). first name is adam 2). message mode 2 (mm2) is team chat in a lot of games. I changed to masterm1ne on here because: 1). original online alias: l4ndm1n3 (Started playing css in 2005) 2). trading is really a battle of you against yourself, so you must...

I thought of something to stop myself from fucking up. The next time I can day trade and until I can execute my plan and never break my rules, only one trade per day.

What a day... Positive up until my last 2 trades. Went from +$400 to -$600. Good: Followed my rules while I was trading one contract. Did a couple of trades in gold and crude, 1 contract each. I remained out a lot of futures that were range trading, such as TF, Corn and NG. I scratched...

Tomorrow I am going to have the ability to day trade... I got a 94 on my PT test so I'm fit to fight and earned the day off. I did my homework for tomorrow yesterday: I have a tested 'edge.' It shows very profitable results, under the right conditions. I have written down exact...

maybe learn another market? (Commodity)

How about just 5 years? That's what I thought when I looked at this guy... last man on the planet that needs that many monitors..
