ssss please take the worst trading period of minimum 30 days. I will continue trading and posting results.

Tums good thougths... Any line or indicator is just a tool and might be an inner beg for savety. If there is no statistical proof it is a belief system. On the other hand thoughful drawn lines make me thinking and I become more and more aware of the the studied market. Might be a way...

ssss Agree with the mindset to try over and over (stand up if you fall down, etc). That's persistance. And it's also acting on passion to learn from failures and always aim to look forward and grow. On the other hand, I don't want to have the next attempt in mind when performing on this...

murray I agree with your assessment of short term trend. But the main trend on a 1 year basis is UP (see attachment). I was betting on a sideways movement. I didn't expect big swings. So, I was forecasting a wrong intraday volatility. Finally it work for me because the Dow nealy finished...

PointOne You are right that it's better to think positive and 'typical trap' bears negative associations. On the other side it was not 'beautiful' at the edges for me yesterday. DOW made an expanding triangle. We had two times a 'false' (or to say 'beautiful'?) break of trendlines. I...

03/29/07 +2.9% 03/29/07 +9.9% (max risk was about 50% of total account) I can risk 50% of my account for 10% gain, if I am more than 75% sure that I will win. It's a 3:1 odd bet. Was it a 3:1 chance today staying between +75 and -100 points in the DOW today? Q1 statistics =========...

ssss No, first time I disagree with you. Make only one attempt. Focus all your energy on it. Work hard, harder, hardest. Get this one thing done!

jack cruzan crgarcia I have a good actual one for you (see attachment). Guess where a lot of novice traders covered and sold. Today's trading scenario was typical trap. Look at the wide range of the Dow and what happened at the edges. ... and what I would have done (I was ready to join...

ssss Good feedback! Apprechiate it and it makes me thinking. I trade from a real money account - it's real and no dream. In my opinion start capital doesn't matter. Wrote it off. The inital bankroll was small and not important for a living to me. In my understanding 'Trading for a...

Worst behavior possible in opening positions in my case a short straddle: 1. Getting short at low of the market, despite right assessment of trend (short term direction 4 hours) 'market worked against me' 2. than getting long on top of correction and false breakout 'market worked...

ssss Thank you! I don't care about my original bankroll. So, it's a different game! I could loose all the accumulated money in one shot and would not cry. Therefore I can risk all on one trade (what I will not do, because in trading nothing is 100% sure). Because of taking 'abnormal' risk...

Today I have been just inconsequent. There was a downtrend and I didn't close short puts early enough. I had the right feeling to close the positon for hours but greed and performance pressure jumped in - and I did nothing. Interestingly the result for my behavior isn't a loss! I would...

The last three signal on the RUT for the 1 point grid. Actual signal Long since 797 TS currently at 799 (+2 points locked in so far)

I think your should act on making $100.000 from starting with $5.000 or even aim to make $10.000 from $500, ... or even lower. If you can proof to yourself that you can reach that goal you are great in applying discipline and persistance. After that you could switch to a higher order of...

UPDATE: Long Signal triggered at 796 with TS currently at 798 locking in 2 points.

Entry and Exit points of two systems based on a 1 point grid and a 2 point (even numbers) grid show that the compound system is NEUTRAL with Bullish if 804 is triggered UP (trailing) Bearish if 801 is triggered DOWN (trailing) - see attached graphics -

In contrast there is the 2 point system on the RUT. Signals for RUT 5 days 2 point grid: Enter +2 points TS -2 points on grid Current direction is down. Short since 806 TS currently at 804 (eventually locked in 2 points) Trail down on grid, i.e. if RUT crosses 800 down move stop to...

Signals for RUT 5 days 1 point grid Enter +1 point Exit TS -1 point (trail on grid) Actual signal is UP from 802 Trailing Stop is at 801 Trailing on grid to 802 if 803 is surpassed
