I am a butcher; Every day I execute the same things over and over, methodically, and observe meat for patterns in size and shape. I show no emotion for the cows, pigs and chickens I slaughter. I am cold-hearted and emotionless. I work in a freezer. Back and forth the meat swings on the...

~4 point range @ 1105 ; about to say f this Though there were several planned trades today, I didn't take any of them. The market didn't "feel" right and after the huge sell off yesterday I didn't feel like shorting. The only long I would have taken isn't part of the "official" plan yet.

The part time trader gets to trade sporadically which is awesome because you get to learn how to take repeated small losses. -117 today

I am a brain surgeon. Every day I gain experience through trial and error; performing operations on different people that have similar anatomy, but are not exactly the same. I studied texts, but text is not practical experience. With my steady hands, I learn each day which nerves to sever and...

Part time trader woes Missed the best trade of the day (the one that goes from 1690 to 1681 without hitting the 3 point stop) because I was busy. Took the trade @ 1685 that just ends up turning into consolidation and continuation of trend. I violated my plan and exited the trade early...

I have all that ammo , I guess I still need more practice.... -125 yesterday; BS - took one of 3 possible; close to adding another setup to my plan - one of those 3 was not in my plan but it was the best trade yesterday by far. Very closely related to the one planned trade I'm doing right...

please help me do this, how does one not care if they are up or down $1,000 per tick?

*One trade per day, ammo Ur right lol ... I'm just kidding :cool: Impossible Don't even care enough to post evidence... but a few lines will show you exactly why the market turned where it did today and yesterday and...

What does efficiency have to do with capturing market trends that by very fundamental reasons are more likely to continue then end? I promise you I'll be a big ES dick in a few years .... I'll be swinging 25-50 cars ASAP. And that's not even "big"

And the trade runs twice as long as I held it I'm such a bad trader cutting my winners short

Week in review; -100 & -200 on Mon and Tue Had I reversed my position where I was stopped out I could have at least recovered the losses. The -200 should have been more around 100 but I went afk as a Col took me away from my desk. This would have made for a solid week. I sat out Wed...

2 days traded last month Government furloughs + fear +$300 today (8Aug) on one contract I traded my plan selectively... I'm in that transition mode, as I mentioned yesterday making revisions to the plan. Not the best time to trade, but it was a (previous) planned one at least.

The only illness I have is hypomoneyitis

Thanks Richard but focusing on my wins has only blinded me to my losses. Focusing on weakness is a personality trait that makes me who I am. It has made me better at everything I do... eventually. The most important thing for me to figure out at this point is how not to lose money. I have...

Today I also realized how cluttered my software workstation is.. I am part way through Ferris' the 4 hr work week, and he stresses avoiding information overload. I just deleted the DOM (really curse this thing - its only ever made me nervous and has no purpose in my trading), chat window...

My OIC removed me from pt care & put me on admin. Thanks, now I can do something useful and watch the market. Big problem I've run into before and last couple days (esp Tuesday); my planned trades often cause me to bet against the dominant trend. This is a huge problem and where most of my...

For anyone thinking I gave up.......................... Fuck you. I am still here just watching the market and mentally trading my strategy. I've probably written it before, but the long term time frames are becoming more important as I see many of these long term trends evolve where...

End of Jun How appropriate page 7 for month 7 I'd be having to trade ridiculous big size for this current method to be worth using

Flat week... same thing over and over again, just like the market eventually I'll get it right Tue +1,000 Wed no trades b/c mil shit per usual and I was late out of spite, would have prob been a bad day anyway Today -700 I read a while ago there are very few days where most of...
