P&L -0.5 points

P&L -7.5 points I was overtrading today because I couldn't think clearly after yesterday's bad day. and then closed my last short for the day because I was doubting myself.

P&L -12 points terrible morning of chop that I shouldn't have traded.

LF, thanks, but you spoke too soon. I had a terrible day today -12 points. My worst day in for the last 3 weeks. I'm still trading SIM only, until I can be more consistent. 4 weeks of at least 12 points a week.

P&L for the week +5.9 points

P&L +2.8points closed my last portion again today instead of letting it be to ride the down trend and then to the upside. I'm trying to figure out why I do this, I think it's because I don't want to lose the money I already made. What else is new. I simply don't have the confidence in my...

P&L +4 points

P&L +0.9 points I confuse pullback with trend reversal and closed my long since this morning, which again reached all my initial targets. I close my trades before targets, again.

P&L -1.8 points confuse pullback with reversal. Need to look into that. got stopped out of the last short by one tick.

P&L 0 points 3 times today I closed my trades prematurely before the target got reached :( Correct on the direction, but lacking conviction. I need to look into it.

P&L -3.85 points for last week

P&L +2.9 points Got chopped up again today. Need to better define my rules over the weekend. and no new trades from 12 to 2 pm, unless the set up is spectacular.

P&L +3.9 points I must keep part of my contracts till they reach target and not close prematurely because of fear.

P&L -2.75 points got chopped up today in tight trading range and missed the big move.

P&L -6.5 points my first 2 trades were impulsive trades because I was yet again afraid to miss a trade. I need to get over this. and then I was doubting my long set up and kept closing and reopening it. Need to practice more.

P&L -1.4 points first 2 shorts were stopped out. They were false breakouts. I should have waited for a close below YC. We had too much support there - YC, AH low. It was defended a few times already, so we needed a close below that for any weakness to materialize. 3. long on 2 failed...

Exactly! And the only P&L statement that should matter to a trader is his own.

P&L +6.2 points for this week I know I need to take all the set ups but I find it difficult because I'm still second guessing and doubting myself. There is only one way to get over it, practice, practice and practice. Another recurring thing through out the week was impulsive trades...

P&L +5.3 points I took fewer trades today, less impulsive trading. And another point I need to address - I still trade what I think, not what I see. It's OK to think, but if i do that, I need to think it multiple possibilities, not one. For example today I was thinking it's a gap...

I have 20-ema and 81 WMA, they are for reference point only. I rarely look at them, but sometimes they help me visually determine the direction of the market - up, down or mix. I'm used to them, so they don't crowd my field of vision. thanks for your advice, but I don't think i'm ready to get...
