Saliva, thanks for your comment. I agree to some degree with your comments. Posting in realtime does help for others to judge my system, (but the cynical part of met also wonders if its just for others to jump on the trades). I think I will do this, I will post some of my trades in real...

I've seen TraderZones post his negative and unhelpful rants before. I like how he can tell me nothing I know will work (as if he knows anything about what I've backtested or discovered ). Anyway, I do have an edge, but we shall see if I can capitalize on it. I think TraderZones is just...

Bought FAZ this morning (before creating this journal). Tried to pick the bottom twice to early instead of waiting for a clear signal. The funny part is, had I waited like system told me to, I would have bought at 19.51 and made up to $2k. I'm about to start trading smaller sizes ($10k at...

Thanks Fast Trader. I trade stocks only now (about to start trading options). I mostly do either swing trades or 5-15min day trades. I risk at most 1% on each trade. I mainly use S/R , pivots, volume and price channels to trade

I'm creating this journal to track my progress. I traded my first stock in Jan 2009 and made $10k in the first month months then lost $25k in Feb 2009. I had no idea what I was doing at that time and was just buying on hunches. I stopped trading from March to Sept and decided to learn TA and...

Thanks DHOHHI, I hope I can transition to that level one day (eg: being able to integrate my system so much into my mind, that its just intuition). Do you guys trade intraday or longer time frames ? I'm curious ...

Thanks Jack Hershey and DHOHHI, Jack Hershey: I actually agree with almost all of what you have said. Believe it or not, I came into the market just wanting to make money, but after studying it for a while, I've seen a spectacular amount of detail in it (fractals). I would have never...

By "profitable" I meant, profitable on a lifetime basis (not just "last 2 months"). Not having to work does not matter. Paper trading doesnt count either.

I just started trading in Jan 2009, and I did the typical thing: Started trading with no strategy or idea of what I was doing, made like $10K then lost $25K. In March, I decided to get serious, so I stopped trading and read about 20 books on TA, developed my own strategy, backtested it, and...

I'm looking for software that allows me to create templates for orders, so I can just press one button when I get a signal to buy, and have a preset profit percentage when to sell and a preset stop loss sell point. Other than that, if it had a button that allowed me to immediately sell...

I just found this journal last night, but I read about 60 pages of it so far. I must say that I am very happy that I did. I just started trading in January (had no clue what I was doing and lost almost $30K), then I decided to stop trading and learn. I read about 20 books on TA over the last...

Come on guys, must every thread devolve in to a 3rd grade name calling match. Who cares what anyone says about either one of you (its the internet). I'd rather learn something useful than read 2 pages of ppl making fun of each other.

Thanks Lucrum ! Glenn Neely's book specifically addresses the wave count controversy, and he gives exact rules on how to calculate everything. The rules are extremely complex though. It made me wonder how the hell he came up with them (Neely says all the rules for generating counts have...

Forgive me if this is a naive or stupid question, but I'm just starting out with trying to learn Elliott Waves (EW) using Glenn Neely's book, but its a huge time commitment, so I dont want to spend months practicing and learning it just to find out it only works 20% of the time. So, can...
