Hi Dan, I'm afraid you've lost me with that one..... I'm working on my discipline for following my entry and exit rules with a method I have a lot of confidence in. Why would it be any better for me to develop a new method that has more straightforward rules just to complete the 20...

All Real time

Ozzy - agree - if only I could do that indeed - I'm afraid the secret weapons are not easily automated - they are very visual and relative comparisons against price/volume. I agree they are sometimes too frequent - but they seem to catch the key intraday reversals so I'm trying not to tweak...

Better morning thanks to S4 – poor afternoon – I should have had lunch at 7pm - still hypnotised by the oil price too much S1 (L) – Entry 14:53 (677.6) - actually left trade alone - it didn’t break thru resistance at 678.30 – then came back and hit my reduced stop at 677.5 S2...

Thru, You make some excellent points and I am realising that I need to spend proportionally more time on my exit strategy than on constantly researching reviewing entries/signals to death.... I find that if the trade doesn't move in my favour straight away that's when the fear demons in my...

T S, I agree that Sim trading has a certain time and place in any trading education. But now is not that time for me - I can bang out 2-4 pts Sim trading but struggle to scrape together a positive day when live. Its now time to put my money where my mouth is and conquer those fears...

Mtzianos, Thanks for the feedback. I write up the charts and text for my own daily log anyway - so its nothing more than a copy and paste each day. The charts work well for me in motivation terms because they show me very graphically how much of the signalled moves I'm really profiting...

You are right of course - but going from 10-20% to 50% in three days is progress for me. There are no acceptable excuses - point taken. Thanks

Not my best day – a good news / bad news kind of day - entries pretty ok / exits total cock S1 (S) – Not taken – no real excuse S2 (L) – Nice entry on signal –at 15:08 (676.1) – exited 0.2 pts later rather than wait for exit signal 677.50 S3 (L) – Took the signal at...

Sure TF S1 was 1.5pts S3 was b/e S5 was -0.8pts S8 was 0.3pts 1pt profit....and about 7 left on the table :D

Well maybe the public humiliation approach is working….a much better day relative to recent ‘signal taking’ performances Signals as per chart below: S1 – Taken at 14:37 - nice entry and pretty good exit using signal S2 – Still in S1 trade S3 – Took the signal at 15:17 –...

Steve, Thanks for the feedback. I agree with your general assessment. I also totally agree that Sim trading is vital to get a trading method finetuned to the market. In the process of developing the method over 9 months I sim traded extensively and had reasonable success. I was as...

Chart disappears after preview.....2nd go

FWIW - here is the chart for the signnal/entries(E)/exit(C)

Signal UK Time My Entry/My Exit Comment 1 15:02 L None/None Just watched even though it was a no-brainer long 2 15:22 L None/None I had bias for short entry here even my signal said still a no-brainer 3 16:30 S None/None Just...

Fader - you're probably right But my edge only works for US indices - I've tried Forex, but the US indices are just the only place to be. Fred - its on my bedside table and I do read various chapters at least once a fortnight Thanks for the early encouragement guys Cheers

Hi, This is the kick off entry for my new journal and I’ll explain why I’m doing it later: Background Intraday ER2 Futures Trader – ER2 clearly the best ‘bang per buck’ contract around – certainly for my edge I spent 9 months developing a trading plan & charting techniques...
