Well I posted my end of day result.. just didn't bother with the blotter.. not too different from yours really... Trust me I am as good a pressure on myself to trade better.. Overall though I hope there is more trading related discussion to improve one another... as it is I do wonder the...

Ultimately my system does not pick bottoms or tops and I am at odds with this. Every time I see a signal a thought goes through my head "look a what it missed".. So I I try to get in early, ANTICIPATING the signal.. then I am fighting an existing thread. As a result I am transfixed on a 1, 3...

Sorry didn't see your post earlier.. 36/3 = 12 losing trades.. Shorted the ruup 6 times.. Got up on the short side of the bed.. Still trying to tighten the loose screw up there in my head.. The Dog ate my report .. guess it resembled Dog food. Instynct will probably toss me off the Journal...

Good Yob!! Clearly you enjoy chop.. When things swing clean, you don't do as well??

-22.5 points for the day.. was as bad as -37 at one point.. I hate chop but very poor trading overall... got played like a fiddle.

Having a "challenging day" .. Was down 36 points in the morning and was down 26 at lunchtime.. Took a break, came back an restarted Ninja.. Put on a glorious long from 2120.75 to 2130.. loss down to 16 right?? NOT!.. Ninja was in SIM mode.. I have the "Always Start In Simulation" option...

Sorry,,.. chart here

There is fear in those trades..:( probably exacerbated by the lack of close-by "protection". The first not bad.. The second looks like what I do in moments of madness.. chasing. The first one.. stop above bar before?? At least you were trading in the right direction.. Maybe be aware of...

Jimbo.. remember I start trading quite early.. We had a downtrend from early morning until the bottom after regular open.. Overall though I may have to re-evaluate until my mental focus window gets bigger.. Lame trades to start, better trades later, like clock work. Then again, profit is profit...

Sooo much opportunity as Jimbo is showing. Good to save mental bullets for clean days like today. Taking my measly 18.25 points and calling it a day...

I am downsized... 2 key system trades reversed my boat to a profitable day.. System basically subsidizing the creator..

A wonder I am able to make money.. Early anxiety (usually due to bias) leads to nonsense trades.. as day wears on I come to my senses and recover.. Done for today.. +15 points.

Off course..! How can the subject be smarter than the creator?

This Morning I read all the forums.. opinions and after the gap up (I know gaps are ups are NOT to be bought).. I get a short signal just after open and I ignore it so I can go long ASAP.. Signal has yielded 30 NQ points down so far while I am down 5 points fighting the trend.. signals be...

You know those charts I posted.. You could sense a long bias coming right?? Well, I got a short signal 15 minutes in and I interpreted it as I will ignore it and wait to get long... Sooooo I have been going long ever since.. 30 point drop since that signal.. I am an enigma.

Good Morning... yaaawn..

Assumming Wall Street wants QE3 maybe chaos by Friday instead?? Who knows..

Odds of a "Super" large H&S on ES Weekly?? Will need to get to 1200/1250 and fail.. NQ equivalent around 2250.. Bernanke this Friday anticipation could fuel drive up there and dissapointment the decline afterwards. Presidential Cycle says failure "should" not happen this year. Who knows..
