Dark, what a great post!!! Matrix was the best. I'll take the red pill anyday!!!!

This was posted by vulture in another thread. It was so good, I wanted it here, also. Thank you, oh carrion feeder!!! "I also trade two separate time frames, although I feel that this is a difficult endeavour...For the most part, I try to separate the days in which I am going to enter a...

Thanks for the kind words, but remember, I'm just a newbie. My journaling helps me more than you can know. I read what mac, vulture, and dotslash posted last night, and actually saw things in my trading today that needs to be improved on. What helps me the most is putting my trades on...

I look at Barron's Economic Calender every morning. http://online.wsj.com/public/resources/documents/b-econoday.htm Thanks :D

I absolutely conccur. Today proved that, again. Actually I have a plan for exits, just not following it. My overall plan is to trade the trend. Figure out which way it is going and jump onboard the first retrace, ride it till it peters out, exit, wait for another retrace, and do it all...

For the range chart, basically using a 5 pt minium move and my eyeball. Completely subjective. Used to use Metastock EOD, and that had a function called ZigZag, that basically did the same thing. You could change the parameters to suit the level of sensitivity you wanted. GET has alot of...

Only one trade this afternoon. Trade 4 - Going short after lunch. Move down, caught the retrace and the market kept going up. Knew this puppy was going down and held on till the big bar down. Exited near the low. Gain of 1 pt. Lots of big minute bars the next hour. I didn't like the...

Today was a great day. Read vultures, macs, and dotslashs posts and knew I had more work to do on my exits. Thanks. More on that in a separate post. Recognized the uptrend, HH-HL's... Trade 1 - Got an excellent entry. Watched it rise, then jump for a positive 4 points. Then... noticed...

Daily Range - 21 pts. Intraday Travel Range - 72 pts

Of my 7 trades yesterday, 6 were losers and 1 was a winner. All of the 7 were good trades. A good trade is a trade taken according to my plan. Two of the 7 (#2 and 3) the market reversed, and I took too big of a loss on one of them (#3). All had reasonably good entries. My timing was...

Trade 4 - Short again, took loss too soon. -.25 Notice how the market dropped right after I got out!!! Trade 5 - short again, same as #5. Notice the nice drop after my exitl. Trade 6 - Short, but sat thru a larger retracement. Out for +3.75 Net for day -83.60

This is gonna be short and sweet. Broke out of the range, definite uptrend. Did I catch any of it. No Trade 1 - Long after a retracement. Wasn't too sure about the trade so took a quick loss. Too quick. Loss of .25 Trade 2 - Still uptrend, but thought a double top was in. Took a...

Didn't take any, but here is the chart.

Today I was feeling good. Had a great trip. God did some cool stuff in my spirit this weekend. Reread my plan this morning. Decided to really focus on taking the trade. Morning range filled the day session gap right away, and I thought it would be an up day, if the bottom of the range...

Daily Range - 14 pts. Intraday Travel Range - 52 pts. Wasn't sure if I wanted to include the move after 16:00 since I don't believe many traders trade after the cash is closed (at least I don't, but I may be wrong), but I did. After the fact question to myself..."If traders don't, where...
