That was actually my first "have a plan and do it" success. It goes in cycles, but for a while CL was 80% of the time retracing whatever the reaction was to it's weekly report on Wednesdays. So after 3- 5 min it would retrace all the way back to before the report and then it would go the same...

I agree totally with what NoDoji said, but I like to think of it as a complete process. I used to get frustrated when the market would change, or my life circumstances would change and cause me to trade differently. And I didn’t seem to know what to do. I’d just keep trying various things. Some...

Aha! that is what i thought... thanks

Thanks for the video on the DOM. Just curious: It appears your videos are of a screen from TOS. If you tap the "active trader" button on the right side, a DOM will come up. I asked them once about that and understood that the numbers for their bid and ask were only of the orders placed...

To continue KDA's concept... here is something I put in your previous thread about "Who is your fav trader to follow?": ................... "If you are a beginner... Go to the general "forums" page near the upper left hand corner of this page. Once you are in "forums", then do a search (on...

There was a very successful, smart and truly wise fellow I went to once with some problem (think of a George Soros in his area of expertise). He listened and then in Socratic fashion asked me a question or two. I’m sure I responded in some confused way. He cut my confusion short and ended the...

I'm big on the idea that crazy is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. The thing is, sometimes you don't have to change much to start a different cascade of events.

Maybe one way to support 'getting it for yourself' is via screen capture. See exactly what you are seeing and doing and saying... hear your tone of voice and stress or not... and like a pair of eyes outside yourself see it as it happens when you review at EOD. There was a discussion about...

Yes, those and Tf. Rarely some others. We each have to work our own way out i guess. Somewhere there is a tipping point and things start to cascade into performing the way we want to be as a trader. Looking forward to seeing how this week turns out overall for you. All the best...

Well, we are all different... you arrived at easy and stress free in the way that works for you. Which is cool.

I had not seen that one Chuck, thanks -- really liked it. I didn’t mean to imply by the exercise in trade management over the weekend that J’s 15 tick target wasn’t …good. The exercise was intended more to free up emotions from all the energy that goes into that exact place the entry lands...

Are these mostly coming from not looking at the P&L?

last week I posted a video by LBR in the tread in the "journals" section: jasinhbca's quest for discipline, knowledge & profits You can go there and see it, it's just a few min long. Actually, here it is In the video she indicates that trade management is more impt than the entry, tho...

Alas I have over 30 people on "ignore" so I'm missing parts of the conversation. Over last weekend I suggested Jas-in-hbca try a homework assignment of random entries. Linda Raschke initially provoked the thought. This is certainly not a way to trade live. However, if you try this with sim...

There was a thread here on ET by "gnome" on Jan 1st, 2008 called 25 Years & $100 Million Profits... A to your Q's, Today Only (doing a search on his name - it was around page 247 of the search results) I think he said he made a profit his first year and thereafter. Never had a losing year...

Thanks -- we are both working diligently. Certainly appreciate your efforts and stick-to-it. I do believe this is a lifestyle. It changes us in ways hard to explain to others. The thing with LBR... it was a peculiar feeling to dissociate my entry from my trade management. Always before my...

J -- IMO the pivot of your improvements was where you said you were paying less attention to the money. There were a lot of moving parts to your 2 week experience... and it was really cool the way you set that up RN... liked your homework; to me not thinking about the money was one result...

I had a conceptual error around developing judgement versus giving control away.

This post is just saying what several others have said in a slightly different way: At about 42 min Mark Douglas talks about sim trading versus live for about 5 min. I’d read his book many times and done the 20 trade exercise many times – but when I heard him talk about sim trading it meant...

In hindsight I believe all of my classes, books and hired mentors gave me to believe that the "OBFST" process was taken care of by trading patterns, by using a MacD or Keltner channels, ...the work was done for you. So just jump in and start trading live. Given that background, I couldn't...
