Been using Camtasia to record my trading desktop and my live voice narration through the headset. Unfortunately, the video and audio go out of sync within a matter of minutes, progressively getting worse and worse. I'm recording one 1920x1200 screen, tried all sorts of combos of video and...

Patience, balls, and trade management are developed slowly over time through failures (and successes) in *live* trading. You have all the tools and at least twice as much knowledge about setups than me or anyone else reading this journal. Knowing another chart pattern will not help you...

Not sure which has more noise: the ES or your journal? :confused: Enjoy your time off, _mad

How do I handle risk when considering adding to a winning trade? Since adding to a winner worsens a trade's avg price, what should I be considering when adding a trailing stop? Should the profit target remain unchanged? Should the trailing stop be a price point (S/R), or should it be...

You've got to look back and just laugh at these ones. With all the bouncing around today, it could have easily hit that stop anyways. At least you took your loss like a man (?), early, rather than cancel the stop or move it further away.

This, ^^^ novice traders, is what is called "A Golden Nugget". You mentioned today that several times you missed "the perfect setup". It seems like you are beating yourself up about it -- why?

It looks like you're levitating. Creepy.

Great job NoD! Fantastic to hear 5 months in a row of profitability. Now...what are we going to do if they pass the "Let Wall Street Pay for Wall Street's Bailout"? Or, the uptick rule? They should pass a "Make it Illegal for Markets to Go Down" bill. - Your Local Curmudgeon
