I had to read more than one way to do it to figure it out... and then I started a thread down on one of the just talking/time filling parts of the forums and had to practice a few times before it worked! Best of luck!:D

Looking forward to your results...

I didn't mark the down/up near 7:30, it never triggered my entry, and was a failed move.

awk! overlooked the down/up twin right near the end. It just went up when I saw it. Could have had another point! Actually I was too conservative. I tried to get in at 1238.75, and it had run by that already. I notice I've missed points by doing that.

I'm doing the 'Geez jostle' i.e. only cking my screen every 5 or 10 min :D

another down/up long at 1240.25 stop hit at 1239.75 12:10 -.75

double down/up's long at 1238.5 11:16 moved my protective stop to 1238.75 set a tgt at 1239.5 and out at 11:29 +1 pt

Failure, didn't fill within a few bars The news yesterday on the MRI was all good. Didn't have any of the ancillary problems, strokes etc. Yea! Then the neurologist says 'So, what are we going to do about your basic injury? I can give you several meds....' 'No way,' I say. And I...

7:57 Set Buy stop at 1237.75 on up/down twin

My puzzle is that I did make money sim trading. Where you reference those experienced who had a private passage of pain... perhaps my passage is just not so private. And actually, my being conscious of being watched on this thread, while having advantages, I observe is making me self...

You know, I can't believe how much difference there is for me in trading live vs. sim trading. I compair my records and I'm just to 'tight' now. I'm thinking to try two approaches. Set a budget for losses, don't worry about it and see if can trade as freely as I did sim trading... for a...

long 1238 hard to believe it will go up further! But it's 8:00 and sort of a retracement.... min's later and I"m sitting here with my finger on the sell bracket order. it looks like it's forming a triangle continuation pattern.... Hey, it's working? Moving up for the moment Tgt is...

Hi Sam, I'm relatively new here too. There are a few of us just begining daytrading ...good to see you. After you have posted your message with the attachment Go back and edit it. They give you up to 30 min to do so. In the edit mode, tap on the attachment and display it. At the top...

Thanks for the trading plan I skimmed thru and have done most of that, but I'll read it in more detail and see. Have you read Al Brooks book? What do you think of it?

Sell stop on econ rept 6:30 Not filled, so cancelled at 6:33 I meant to also place a buy stop simultaneously... it would have filled and reached a 1 pt tgt, but my 3x5 card 'anti-entry-error' system took just a hair too long to do. I like it tho. It's going to help.

Hi JAS, Thanks for your post on my thread the other day, I just got the joke about my spelling while reviewing things over the weekend! You traded futures 20 years ago? What has brought you back to them now?

Stats for the month so far: 12 wins, 11 loss, 2 BE Wins 48% Avg win $56.54/ avg loss $61.68 = .91 I didn't record things right one day, but over all made and lost $700. The losses include the commissions. I'm trading less than 4 trades per day I trade, and am making just over...

I'm talking this weekend with one of our local special ed teachers. She has helped me in the past understand 'loss of compensations' and 'perseverance'. Perseverance being the repetition of ineffective behaviors. Something some traders seem to have experince with! She says that she...

Oh, sorry, didn't say. I'm not trading today. Catching up on homework reading.

My trading plan is not set. I'm in a class on futures now. 6 weeks on-line. Had the exact same class live in Sept. The class is very technical analysis oriented. My homework this week is to real or sim trade with Keltner Channels, Bollinger Bands, etc., and send charts to the teacher...
