    feeling like crap

    I am a completely discretionary trader. I guess my system would be my "intuitive feel" for the market. I trade any way I can make money. One trade I might scalp for ticks. Another trade I ride a wave. Another is a countertrend. The important thing for me is to get out quickly when I am...

    feeling like crap

    I read my post, and it sounds a little preachy. I write these posts to keep myself on track! I have been treading water for a long time, and I finally feel like I understand what works for me. So take my preachy tone with a grain of salt. I am really writing to remind myself what I am doing...

    Which trading goal is best and why?

    I agree with your comments. I also trade ER2. My daily profit goal is something I am able to obtain in the first hour of the day. It is small enough that it can be achieved in the worst market.

    SPX Credit Spread Trader

    I first would like to say that this thread is very educational. The feeling of "missing out" is a powerful negative energy. I like to think of myself as an accumulator. I look for opportunities to accumulate money/ticks. This helps me stay consistent and relaxed.

    Is the Bund one of the most difficult contracts to trade?

    One point that I would like to discuss is the difference between exchanges. On Eurex a trader cannot see the counterparty. For example lets say in the Bund is bid for 10000 and the offer has 1000. There is no way for me to prove that that the bid is false quantity. However lets change...
