Very happy with the day. Even though money was lost I confronted my biggest fear in trading. Whipsaw/being suckered aka pop and drop or drop and pop. I started trading poorly in the morning though I felt good and confronted that aspect of my trading. I accepted the fact that I have to let...

I figured my rules were keeping me from cashing in on days like today. I threw those silly rules aside and just freetraded. Great results!!! Gotta Love no rules.

Need to adapt to these volatile days. Widen my stops. Got stopped out 4 times on what would have been beauties because I was playing too tight. Kind of frustrated today felt like I couldn't get anything major going. Sometimes my problem is I go for perfection when I trade. I know its not...

I tried briefing.com platinum and thought the content was quite good and easy to read. The problem is that it is a web based service and it caused my browser to crash every day (tried both firefox and ie). Also the news came in a bit slow and every time the news updated it stole my blinking...

I love complacency. It makes it that much harder for bulls to sell during the next round. It's sad that market crashes could be avoided if human nature didn't lean towards a fantasy of constant safety.

You pay off those credit cards yet? I'm serious... they will make you pay them back.

Got emotional today and tried to fight the market when it turned bullish. Gave back a lot because I couldn't accept the fact the market had turned. Another day another lesson.

Bingo... they just hit me on another failed shooting star. I'm getting stopped out a bit too much today.

Sorry. I was posting in real time. I'm referring to today. Thursday and Friday was institutional dumping. Today is pure trading.

Wild action. Seems like people are just flipping this thing back and forth. I hope this continues for a long time. Much easier to read then normal market conditions.

It's time to worry when there is a low volume selloff. Because that means no ones buying... Or so I'm told!!! :p I guess today was another bullish day with high volume. Means a lot of buyers.

Funny thing is I put him on ignore last week and it is the best thing I thought I had done on this site. Now I hear he's AWOL and the market is tanking.... typical.

One day I'll be a good enough trader to capitalize on days like today. Very easy action to read but got stopped out countless times on bs stop hunting run ups. No buyers at all today they tried to push it up several times to trick traders into buying then they kept dumping into them. Covered my...

It's funny to see how people interpret the market any way that makes them happy. In the mean time this is what was happening on the floor. "Today, a few broker-dealers for the first time in thousands of Dow points referred to a preopening 'bid-wanted situation,'" said Oberhaus...

Wait a minute.. actually you are right. Today was pretty bullish since there was large volume and it was down that means a lot of people were buying. My mistake. Carry on.

Started my 30 day trial of Dow Jones News through my Esignal Feed... it is surely fast and comprehensive... A little too much so. Get bombarded with too many news items that I don't care for. I love the briefing.com content (Trader Talk, Mkt Internals, Technical Alerts, etc) but it is a tad slow...

This is almost right... except that its completely wrong. I would go back and study volume/price theory a bit.

I'm not sure if I should be happy or sad. Seemed like a dream day for trading yet I turned in an average performance. Tried to stay out most of the day and got whipped of what would have been too many monster trades. One day when I become a truly solid trader I think a day like this would have...

I subscribed to Briefing Platinum last week and have been pretty pleased. Today I wanted to test its speed so I opened a Bidu chart and waited. By the time earnings news hit Bidu had been trading at +40 points for about 2 minutes. I don't trade the news so a 2 minute delay isn't deadly but...

Why are you still trading size that could lead to losses like this? Are you taking credit card cash advances to fund your accounts? Last time you blew your 5K account in two days? Now you magically have another account that you blew 3K in. You know they expect you to pay those cards back...
