So far in total with commish i lost $230. I think that my limit where I'll stop for the summer will be $400. Hopefully, when I start again tomorrow with a fresh head it won't be a problem. I think my problem yesterday was fear, while today was greed. After winning (even though it was pretty...

But once again, maybe this was a valuable lesson about what not to do... what do you guys think? I just need to get out of the house right now and control myself. I will trade tomorrow with a clear head, but I want to hear some opinions of what just happened.

I honestly regret ever putting up that post.... I see how greed got the best of me.... I put up another trade right after that that went against my rules slightly, NEVER EVER should have entered there.... then it went just rocketed against me at a loss of about 4 points, but great... I thought...

I know I shouldn't be too ecstatic about this... BUT FUCK IT! FIRST TRADE OF THE DAY MADE $35 WOHOO!

OK, so after getting a PM from a wise NQ trader, who claims to have been trading for years, I have rethought my strategy on a small scale. Like I said, I trade breakouts and bounces off new highs and lows, and strong points of S/R. I realized I needed to do two major things in my strat. One, I...

Thanks man, I'm glad that SOME people are vouching for me. So much negativity, damn! But I feel like this day was kind of like my initiation ceremony into the "real world" or the "matrix" or whatever you call it. Hopefully when I log on tomorrow, my head will be fully clear and aware of...

LOL. Yes! His post was deleted, and my thread will live to see another trading day. OK, everybody who has been following my short adventure so far. As I told my mom the good news, it really got me thinking that I'm not the so called trading genius that I thought I was. Maybe I am, who knows...

OK, let's break it down to how my first day on the job was. In short, it was a shit day. I reached my maximum drawdown of $110 dollars at 11 45, 15 minutes before i would normally finish. As you will see in my chart, I made 9 trades in the hour and a half that I was on the computer...

I'm going into battle in a few minutes SPARTANS, PREPARE FOR GLORY

OK, so I go live in about 7 hours. Anyways, I just wanted to voice my concerns over how I'm gonna tackle my emotions, especially on the trades when my stops will be hit hard; I don't exactly want to be paralyzed by sudden fear so price will continue dropping, or making stupid decisions because...

Yes, well obviously I realize that SOME people here are complete losers (well, in trading anyways). Comic relief is always in good shape here, what with Surdo here complaining that he doesn't get enough -18 year old ass. It brings me relief that some people are on my positive side instead of...

Well, my commission will be $4.3 for a round trip, so it's not THAT horrible. Also, I will have a limit where if I start loosing more than, say, $120 for now, I stop trading for the day. Hopefully I will never have to do that, and luckily my percentage of correct trades is about %70 on most...

Well, maybe I'm looking at this the wrong way, but I usually see the NQ hit 3 times S/R during my trading time. Don't forget I also trade any temporary highs and lows of the day, so in fact I do manage to get in some good opportunities in my limited time

BTW, in case anyone wonders, and I haven't said this yet, I am only going to stick with one contract. If I can double my money, we'll see, but for now, it's 1 for sure

Thanks man, let's hope you and I can both expand our measly net worths, and not shrink them.

Yeah, I was gonna bring this up. I might trade on paper for the next week, and maybe start the following week. Yes, I am mostly consistent, AT LEAST 3/5 days profitable on sim. Thing is, that can easily change to 4/5 days out of 5 if I just work out these little kinks in my system; For some...

Yeah I'll probably do that. I don't know if you have ever used ninjartrader, but it's pretty neat when it comes to showing your trades on the chart. Great "iffin aaii wanna" be critiqued

Haha you guys are fucking hilarious. But it slightly creeps me out that a bunch of 35+ (???) year old men are interested in em young ones (well, 18 and under anyway). Surdo, you might be a LITTLE dissapointed with that theory. I've seen 9's and 10's in my school who were willingly getting in...

Look, I was just assuming that you thought that I, like every other teenager, have a phone at hand 24/7. And, I'm not as immature as you imagine me to be, so let's just get that straight. I'm not like most people my age who can't tell you the year WW2 ended. I am guessing you also doubted how...

This might AMAZE and SHOCK you. But I don't have a phone :eek: !!! Seriously. I use IM, but that can be turned off. But 98% of the people in my age group do.
