Ok, here is one set up - bounce of Yesterday Close will lead to a new high for the day and then test of R1. So I was long this morning multiple times for this, but exited because I saw price \"stalling\". And on most days my targets are reached quickly, but there are days when it\'s just...

trying it again, long 2@38,25, stop 36.75 moved stop to 37.5 and out at b/e

my plan is to keep reading books about traders psychology to figure out my issues and to keep posting here so I can learn. To better define my set ups and narrow them down to just a few best ones. It's not an easy journey and you don't become a great trader overnight. If it were so easy...

P&L for Thursday loss -$678.

out @b/e another bad day. I'm down 550 for the day. And F for discipline. Done for the day.

sell 3@33, stop 34.25

sell 2@31.25, stop 32.5 covered at b/e - I'm chasing the price...

my stops where too close today, fear of losing making me actually lose. I was trading in the noise. taking a little break.

another long@30, stop 28.75 out b/e we are having difficulties filling up the gap above, may be gap below will fill next?

long again 30.75, stop 29.25 cover 30.25 -.5

out at b/e, the move stalled, so will wait for the open or better entry.

long again 2@30.5, stop 29.5

cover second @30.5 for +1

long 2@29.50, stop 28.25 cover 1@ 30.5, stop b/e for the second. I hesitated to take a trade because of fear of a loss, but forced myself to pull the trigger because it was my signal.

2 contracts now.

yes, when I get to trade more contracts I will try that.

I will keep this in mind and will think about it a bit later. What do you trade?

So knowing that in advance didn't help. my goal for today failed because I made making money higher priority then being disciplined :(

P&L for today loss -$786. still within my 600 loss parameters because it was before fees, so it was -$638, the rest is fees.

but from 3pm till close I've done 12 trades trying to short 34.5 -35 area. Again, I didn't have time to post them, if I did, I probably would have done so many. of course I only realized how many trades I've made after the fact :( So I get C- for today's discipline. Horrible day...
