Over 75% of my worst days are Fridays... This is as bad as movement gets.. "Chop Swing" I will call.. It is like a bad movie.. You watch the whole thing expecting something to happen any minute. The pre-market should have been a good clue. The only good that may have come from today is the...

$4.5

Not to be traded with...:cool: :)

Top probably not far away: ES 1200 and NQ 2200 areas almost too convenient.. Today or Monday.

Incredible how the behavior has changed sooo dramatically today.. "like" real bull market behavior which is quite different from a short squeeze. Like someone flipped the "bullish PA" simulation switch.

I used a large shovel to dig the hole but can only find a tiny one to try and dig out.

My temper.. 10:00 to 10:15 ate my lunch

This is a B@#$%^^!!..

Done... +17.75 pts.

Great.. Can I use the 1.50 now since you are done with it? If it costs me your fault..

Obviously we are in the 2100's..

I may as well not wake up so early. Hopefully I will get tired enough and start taking trades OR just sleep in. 2030 Resistance known resistance. First breakdown seen on 1 minute.. Try for 24.5 short.. just missed.. Ok get the next one. As it declined first to 2013 or so I set 2020 order.. As it...

A turning point day I think. Being able to dig out of a near $700 negative to close up $180 after commissions something I've never been able to do. Usually the day spirals and gets worse.. Now to learn not to dig hole in the first place.. Missing a key trade just as NQ touched and...

Also these market during regular hours a quite quick so easy to be late taking the trade. Pre-market on the other hand I have much less trouble with..

I use a fixed 3.5 pt loss that I move to 5 sometimes. This happens mostly because my entries are not ideal a lot of the time. I have looked at a 1 min chart and I see how your stop frequently survives and you do well.

You are right. I have something plastered on my table: Look for the best losses.. In a nutshell, where would I rather take losses that inevitably WILL come? Where there is high profit potential or just anywhere? Apparently I haven't internalized it enough as once that thing starts dancing, so do...

When my system presents me an opportunity I almost always don't want it. As the price starts moving in the system's favor my belief in the signal grows and ultimately I end up in the trade at MUCH more complicated and risky prices. Seems like I want the obvious but the obvious almost never...

had to run an errand.. about that 96 exit..

Wasting trades a lot at entry.. Wild volatility not a time for hesitation and relatively large stop.. May steal Jim's smaller stop as once each trade goes red, more than often it is getting my 3 to 4pt stop anyway.. +6.25 for the day..

Insanity overnight..
