My mind was not on trading today. +3.25 pts / 15 RT / 2 ct lots

Now I finally understand. Sorry, I thought you thought my link was a search and didn't actually click on it to see my post. Do you understand? :) Anyway, if you use "Advanced AND Futures" as search parameters, you will find my post...

Kyle, I immediately enter a limit order (1 point profit target) but am ready to cancel it if there's momentum in my direction. My stops are mental.

Not much action so I was lucky to be finished by 10. +6.0 pts / 6 RT / 2 ct lots

JT, thanks for graphically presenting my trades - feel free to do so on any winning day. Before getting carried away with superlatives like "absolutely amazing", I suggest you do what I did over the weekend - review my history from July 30th, my first day trading the e-minis till today. Before...

Once again had to come from behind, which was difficult considering the narrow trading range. +6.50 pts / 12 RT / 2 ct lots

A good friend dropped by at 9:29 on his way to JFK airport - anyone else wouldn't have gained entry at that time of morning. I spoke to him with one eye on the monitor, perhaps the only side benefit of strabismus, and he left at 9:35. A minute later, still unfocused, I entered a trade and two...

JPB, did nothing come of the trader2trader upload(s)?

-10.75 pts. I have an unwritten rule about staying flat for economic numbers, but because it's unwritten I violate it on occasion. I have also benefitted from these numbers, but perhaps it's time to put it in writing? I'm also looking to lower my daily stop loss which is currently 10 points...

Considering the long weekend break, my start wasn't too bad. However I took a gamble staying in long for the 10 o'clock ISM number and lost (6.5 points to be exact). From then on, it was only a matter of when I would hit my daily stop loss, and even then I couldn't fight off a bout of...
