Hi SD. Good seeing ya. Thanks a lot for the advice and especially the recommendations on position sizing. I have a preliminary approach in my plan for position sizing, but that will ultimately be built once my method has enough statistics to determine the appropriate position based on execution...

Good trading today. Not much time to get into specifics. I went into today purposefully recalling three things: 1. I fully accept the risk associated with each trade, or am willing to let it pass. 2. Being wrong well and small is right. 3. I wrote a plan for a reason. Follow it. 3 TRADES: 1...

Trade 1 yesterday 1/12/2015--> Spent time this AM working on me. No trading. Here's a review of yesterday's trade off the open. This review took a while as I dug into it. I'll review the others tonight or tomorrow. Good learning. 1. Did I objectively identify my edge? I objectively identified...

I'm struggling here. Here is where my head was this morning after having reached my profit objective, in 10 minutes. I was really happy. I was satisfied. I immediately went downstairs, to tell me wife the good news. I also told my wife, that if I was live, that would have been my day. I was...

Don't drop it. Take it where you used to take it on yourself. Mine is sure hell-spun. And I need to do serious digging here. That's my plan for tomorrow. -JS.

Today was a good day. I expect to find a lot of information about myself from today's trades. I didn't update my personal journal yet, because my head is quite foggy. I assume it is because of all of the "head-on collisions" I had today while practicing flawless execution. Items I journaled...

Hi note, Getting some context, and even trying to "get in the flow of PA" before NY open helps me tremendously. I too try to determine some entries, BUT, I don't stay glued to them. IT takes a lot of time to develop an approach, so be patient with it. I have not yet arrived, but I shall. The...

Yes and Yes Yes. Was just working on those 15m channels. Guess it has to work for me. Maybe silly question in hindsight. my "cranium" is ready. Also hoping to identify more fears/holdbacks today. -JS

Here's a picture of PA context on the 15m. I have horizontal S/R, a main trend channel, and a possible breakout channel still needing some confirmation. Is this good context? =================== I'm ready for today, and I really want to practice predefining and fully accepting each trade's...

Thanks jas. ============== I too am curious about why you didn't take those signals? It's great that you're willing to find out why. Some don't and keep on. Keep getting closer!!!! -js

Thanks jas! ============= Like how you're digging into your trading to find some good answers. When you wrote "why didn't I take those trades", It struck me as someone whose able to dig into potential information that's gonna really help you in consistency. I'm trying to find those things...

Thanks RN. Sorry jas for filling your feed. For a good cause. ;)

This all makes perfect sense. Going to start doing that to 15. Great idea! What do you mean when you say keep the OTHER sides of S/R IN PLAY? You mean a S/R zone of sorts?

I'm gonna try this. I'm not back until Monday. I would generally annotate premarket, and erase all after review to "start fresh". I need to change that.

That does sound like a time saver. I would find my charts overly annotated. I'm trying to learn not to do that. Good idea simply having to add a parallel or extend a line. Is your attachment just supposed to be an X over an orange channel?

Thanks!

I won't change yet, but SC?

Yes. I hate that. If I draw on 240, a horizontal, SOMETIMES, it transfers when zooming in. If I draw 3 horizontal, and zoom in, only 2 transfer? WTH? LOL. Now I can think of you as I'm transferring and how much fun were having. -JS

I've been struggling with this. I think you use tradestation. Is there a setting to make TL AND horizontal show on all charts but you only have to annotate one? If not, do you mark your context and carry it over to your next LTF chart? I would love to mark a spot on my 240, and see it on...

Now that's a range. Good job jas. Good job staying focused and continuing to trade. -JS
