NoDoji, I think you are correct, I listen to the wrong people, they could be good traders, but their opinions are often wrong too. I need to look at the price and follow it, not expect the price to behave a certain way, not try too hard to understand why the price moves where it does. I often...

I believe that every instrument has it's nuances and jumping from one to another is not going to help me. I need to concentrate on one. I find it difficult to look at many stocks and futures at the same time. I know of people who are profitable day trading ES, it's definitely possible...

how many contracts does it take to move the market in your favor? :D :D :D

LF, great observations, thanks for posting them. How do you deal with impulsive trades? You've mentioned before that it is an issue for you sometimes. How do you work on it? just time and practice? Are you trading live or sim? thanks.

thanks for your comments, but I really don't want people to feel sorry for me, there is nothing to feel sorry about. I'm on the path to success. Trading is like any other difficult job, you need practice and experience and lots of both. It doesn't happen overnight, it took many people years to...

The reason I don't post every day is that it takes a lot of effort that I can spend on studying. the blog helped a lot to identify my weaknesses and I'm planning to get back here soon.

I feel like I need to say it again - I take full responsibility for my actions and realize that one time exception of the stop loss rule can cost a lot of money, stress and mental capital. There is never a need not to have a stop loss - you can always reenter, the market is going to be there.

For the most curious emg, I just hope that you are not looking for schadenfreude. I'm still in the study mode. I was trading in the sim with moderate success for the last week or so and then moved to real money. It was good for a few days and then I fell off the wagon - yesterday I've...

your analysis is spot on. it's very difficult to just do nothing, but that's exactly what the charts are telling us. Wait for a break out.

Thanks, turns out my ip wasn't blocked, but my stupid Internet provider - atlantic broadband, has issues with their DNS server, it took a while to figure it out... But when I use google's DNS server, I have no issue ... Thanks for your help.

thanks, I really don't know how to do that, so I started using a proxy server instead and that works. Can you please tell me why do I need to change "dynamic ip address" to access a website from my home computer where I don't have any firewall or any other restrictions? thanks.

does anybody know why his site is down? http://www.brookspriceaction.com and if it's ever coming back? thanks.

good trading to day! congrats.

makes sense now, great.

why do you let your feelings dictate your trades? I don't mean to sound arrogant, I don't know much myself, but I do see a market in an uptrend for now, so there is nothing wrong with being long now, at least until we break 1330.

today so far is a mess for me: failed upside breakout then failed downside breakout then failed "failed falure" gap days like today usually lead to a trend day (Up or Down), but we are not trending so far... the only thing that I saw and ignored was that NQ wasn't cooperating with ES from...

was talking only long trades in the afternoon. Closed the one short right away. got stopped out on 2 of them. 1st stop out was a premature long, didn't wait for the second leg of pull back before going long. also, made a mistake in the morning: went long without waiting for second signal...

Back to trading after a break for studying and reading a lot of Al Brooks. It's not an easy read and it's going to take a while to digest it, but if/when I do, I'm sure it will take my trading to a totally new level. It seems like a revelation. P&L for today -1.5 points. Missed the last...

Most of great traders can make money trading almost any instrument. Most of traders will lose money trading any instrument. At this point I believe it's not the instrument is the issue, but a trader.

Laissez, why do you want to switch? You had a great day today trading ES, I've seen your trades, you seem to be doing ok. from my perspective you seem to be on the right track.
