I am from the UK but the charts i post are from my TradeStation on my laptop. I only log on at the end of day or start of day on laptop to post charts. I have 2 other PCs for my actual charts which have same trade hours as the US. Just my laptop is still based on UK time as i do not trade of...

Thanks for the kind remarks AAA. Glad you are enjoying the journal. As for knowing what im doing :D , well all i can say is that i am trying. Im not a great trader and i will first to admit that but i am doing the best i can. All the best in your own trading AAA.

Shorted 66 here. May take gains early on this one. This is in the face of the IHS so may get out very quick on this.

Hmm can't even break 68-69 just yet so still extremely weak. Will looking to get a piece of short side again if weakness remains.

Longer term suppost zone has proved itself here. If they are going to break this zone most likelt be done in the evening session. Im out of my short at 67 for a juicy +9.5. Net +7.5 on the day now. May look to re-enter if i see something develop.

I really want to see this 64 region break today putting some control back the bears.

It is getting bit difficult to post immediately after i have entered or exited a trade as it means i have distract my attention from the screens. However, the advantages of letting my trades be know to public makes me try hard to stick to the plan and do well. I hope newbie traders can get...

Its hit the first buy zone. However, action is particularly weak right now and often market can blast through a zone like this on these types of days. It means i will be tightening my trail. Not exiting until it hit my exit parameters.

I am thinking 70 will be a nice resistance level today.

It is approaching my first long zone at 64-65 - might provide a healthy bounce from there. However, my ideal target will be at 57. Don't mind riding out potential bounces as profit has been locked in with my trail. Now to let this run - no chance of scale out with my 1 measly contract :D...

I am very good at holding when in a trade. I went out of my office for 2 mins to grab a sandwich and by coincidence it missed by bracket cover by 1 tick. Still in the trade - don't mind giving back a chunk of the gains but still holding until i see a shift in trend.

Perfectly holding that line so trail is set. The thing with my system is that if something changes i will get out quick and get back in if i again see confirmation of the original trade. I am not concerned too much about commission or re-entering trades - i try to stay as emotionally...

Im very scared of the TL up and if it bounces i may trail and stop myself out. If it bounces of TL and the comes back down - i will be quick to jump back in. I took virtually no heat on this trade - apart from 1 tick. Most likely a test of 78 in order so i would rather get out b/e and then...

I do have good entries and would benefit greatly from scaling out. As i do get many 3-4 point winners. However, i have stuck myself the challenge of making money with 1 contract before moving on. Its not that i am undercapitalised - its just when i traded big i was a real Clown. I figure if...

Shorted at 76.50. High risk trade as gap still not filled. Very risky so may move stop to b/e lets see how this goes. Needs to break 74 if we got anything here,

Its all probabilities - no point ever getting mad i guess. On to the next way which offers good probability of success.

Stop is at 74.50 for -1.

I think your right. I do get impatient with my day trade entries - i will never go back to trade size i am uncomfortable with until i earn the right to do so. I do have different strategies however, where my other account does rely on maybe 1 trade per day which is extremely high probability...

That's your edge, every trader has their own method. For me - i hate risk so i never hold trades which go against me. Everyone aims for an average 2 point daily gain over the long run. Its just how we arrive at that average that differs - mine is usually a couple of big days when the markets...

Your right it probably will go against me. But i do have very small risk on this trade. No problem if i get stopped just on to the next one. We are not here to stroke the ego - here to make money. I am not deluding anyone to the fact that my win ratio is not great. However, i have enough...
