Short YM 10260. Current target 10252. I am skeptical about this trade because today looks like it may be an uptrend day. We'll see. Signal is there though.

How about that. I would have been stopped out right now. Glad I did not take the short.

OK, I'm back at my fulltime job now. Thank god. Not for the job, but for high speed internet access and some time to trade again !! I see a 1m set up currently, but some of the filters to produce a signal are weak. I feel that I am really looking for the set up. I have looked at ES and...

Finally back home, kind of. I'm moving and have sold my house and the new house isn't ready yet. I'm homeless. I actually won't be able to trade until I go back to work. I'll trade when I'm not in a meeting. I will resign from work on August 9 and then be trading fulltime. Although I...

Couldn't trade today. Traveling back home. I took a look at 1m trades and scalp trades from todays action and today would not have been a good day. I almost wish that I did get to trade today because trading has been pretty good since I have started this journal to work on discipline...

I suppose I could post this if your going to relate it to discipline.

Target hit. 10208. As the trade started going against me I started looking at ES and NQ to see if my trade was actually good. Maybe I should get out at even. I was looking to see if NQ or ES had the signal as well. If they did then this would help my YM trade. Then I told myself...

Long YM 10196. Target 10208.

Here's the chart from 7/2. This was an above average move. 20 points. And it even moved further. See notes on chart. Had log in troubles with IB though and missed it. It was posted here real time as a papertrade so that I could still work on my discipline. Followed plan well...

Can trade 1/2 a day today. 1m chart only. No scalps from the TICK charts cuz I'm still in the mountains and only have dial up. I will be papertrading a new methodology starting today. If it goes well I will add this to the current system. It is still from the 1m charts for entry...

I look at 5m and 15m charts for my retirement accounts. That's long term to me. The system works on any timeframe.

and there we have it 10285 hit. I'll post a chart. Note on 2nd scalp trade yesterday. There was one element of the filters missing to create a true signal. I took the trade with a discretionary filter added to "make up for" the filter that was missing. I am deciding now that...

OK. Right now there is a 1m set up. I can't get into TWS though. So this is a paper trade YM long from 10265 with target of 10285

Well, only had two scalp trades yesterday. One winner and one loser. Break even. Then traveled the rest of the day and couldn't trade. Only have dial up internet available where I am at for the next week. Will only trade from 1m charts. No scalps. It seems that the dial up is...

Yep. The edge grinding itself out. I like that. It's true.

Took a YM scalp at 10:18. Didn't work. Stalking a 1m chart set up right now. Followed plan perfectly with the scalp. Just didn't work out. It really pisses me off that when I can't trade all day, the trades that I do get are often the losing ones. The record over the last few days...

Was traveling all day today. Didn't trade. Might be able to trade in the morning and part of Friday.

OK. There were quite a few trades today, for summer. Two 1m chart trades and 3 scalp trades. All were winners. I was only at my computer for one 1m chart trade. I am still moving and will miss many trades until early August. I am going to the middle of nowhere tomorrow to visit...

Wow. That was fast. Target hit. Will post thoughts and charts later.

Short YM 10408. Target 10398.
