thanks, I think keeping the journal real time helps me focus on my trading and keeps me accountable to myself.

this lack of movement is very frustrating, why don't I listen to myself and take a break???? close for -.5 loss. break will 2 pm

back short 4 es again @1301.5, stop 1302.5 is has to break one way or another, doesn't it?

closed @ 1301.5, no follow through again. Chop/chop. Will take a break.

$tick indicates selling is back now, back short 4es @ 1301, stop 1302.25

thanks for your theoretical lesson, but this is exactly what I stated in my opening statement. I don't need more theory, I need practice and accountability, that's the reason for the journal. if you have any particular suggestions, do post them.

closed at break even. no selling again.

OMG, another blogger is telling me that having a journal is bad. care to elaborate why? what kind of harm are we talking about here? Some examples please, besides the expected insults (and I don't mean your post btw) I'm planning to post daily summary anyway.

care to elaborate how so?

will 1300 hold it again? it did so 4 times this morning. $tick is turning negative finally below 200

short 4es 1301.25, stop at 1303, target AH low 1298 YM rejected 1200 yet again, YM, ES and NQ look like H&S formations.

I have no idea where I got these numbers from for OR... it's 1299.25 - 1304.25 = 5 points still confusing signals. lots of snow in North east, could be a choppy small range day after yesterday's run up. staying on the sidelines for now. I find it difficult to just observe the market...

closed previous trade at break even as I never was happy with it. I broke my rule of not trading congestion and taking only high probability set ups.

sold 4 es here @ 1302. stop 1304.5 - just above daily high target 1998 reason $tick finally got negative, NQ rejected YH ES has failed break out of OR Although we do have a series of HH and HL on 5 min ES chart, so my selling could have been premature...

market is in congestion - need to stay away and wait for a high probability trade instead of getting chopped up here.

NQ broke out of the open range (why do I talk about NQ? because I look at it during the day for guidance), but stalled before reaching YH (yesterday's high). And ES is stalled at the ORH(open range high)

I guess I was so unsure about it that I've just closed it at 1300.5 for -.5 point. need to walk away from the screen now.

NQ new low for the day, ES still in the opening range... sell 2 ES at 1300, stop 1302.25, target 93. why 2? lower probability trade. I'm not sure about it.

Gap closed, PP tagged. Open range is 1298.75 - 1305.5 = 6.75 points Time for a little break so I don't overtrade.

closed 2 at target 1302.5 because NQ seem to have stalled as well. I need to work on patience with holding the winning trades longer. We are above yesterday's close, if we stay here, next target yesterday's high 1306, but i'm flat for the moment.
