hey dp, I'm trying to be much more patient with my trading.. and in doing so .. I like to see strong reversal bars before entering against the trend.. in this case a shooting star, doji or dark cloud cover.. the trend was very strong and thats why I didn't get in.. but TF made a good point...

Dphoenix if you're reading this.. Since we were talking about pivot levels yesterday.. did your system give a short on the ES near 1138.???

thanks trendfader.. so do you always short at every resistance level?? cause we had a nice strong up move prior to reaching it.. what gave you the balls to short it??

I wanted to short there.. but was looking for a better reversal bar ..

Good trade.. what triggered the trade if you don't mind me asking

Its there now and hasn't broken through yet.. anyone brave enough to short here if signal presents itself?? good trading

dp, I was watching those as well.. but how do you know which one will lead the other.. It seems when I play the YM lead .. the NQ or ES leads.. and vice versa.. Also, I notice you said you use pivots.. I watch them as well.. but only on the ES.. do you watch pivot levels in all 3...

dp, You are absolutely correct.. I went long the NQ at 1531.00.. with a profit target of 1536.00.. and I bailed at 1531.50.. it went up to 1537.00 as of this posting My last 4 trades were all great trades with a great profitable outcome had I held on and followed my plan.. If I had...

I understand this.. but you can still calculate in your head fairly easily the $ value associated with each trade.. and I usually only make 1 - 4 trades a day..

Just curious to see how anybody else handles this area.. I'm trying to stop looking at my P&L on every trade and just concentrate on trading properly and its very tough.. Has anybody broken through this problem?? Any suggestions on how you were able to overcome it?? thanks

A + is a +.. Always look for the positive

Made 3 trades today.. all were a profit of 1 tick.. And as you can see on the chart everyone of them would have yielded a few points.. Trading with a low account balance is causing me to close out trades... Would have been a very profitable day had I traded these correctly..

Thanks Ditch, I know what to do to be profitable.. I am just having trouble executing properly.. I haven't decided yet about refunding.. I have some expenses coming up I need to cover first.. then maybe..

Just want to show another example of how emotions can get in the way. See the attached chart.. I got short the ES @ 1124.50.. Got nervous and exited the trade while watching every tick of the screen.. as you can see the trade only went 1 tick against my entry within the 1st 2 minutes and...

\ jrs3, Can I ask what is your trigger for that sell @ 1535.00??

correct me if I'm wrong anyone.. She's a trader's coach. I believe she helps you deal more with your own psychological problems that you have within She was a guest in one of the Chat sessions.. Look under chat in Elite.. and you can read the chat session or click on her name and it...

I'm not even going to comment.. the results speak for themselves.. Beg. Balance $755.52 - $228.00 = $527.52 I know this can be done but its obvious that I can't do it.. at least not right now anyway.. I have some deep psychological hangups I need to get worked out.. I think I may...

WDGann, What I'm saying or trying to say is that I'm trying to learn what makes me deviate from my plan.. Those of us that deviate from our trading plan is usually due to some type of emotions..What emotions am I experiencing that are making me continuously break my rules.. And when I...

I have read it.. but not for some time now.. May be a good refresher

This is a GREAT point.. I didn't realize I was doing this until I made dumb trades after missing a profit opportunity, after making a bad trade and after getting out of a trade too early.. Once I was made aware of the above.. i.e. being mad at yourself causes you to do impulsive...
