However, I did just break my discipline.

This is exactly what I did. I took 1/2 at 10359 and was stopped out at 10350 on the rest. Saw an opposite signal forming.

with this trade, if I were partialing and trailing a stop I suppose I could take partial at 10359 and move my stop to just under my entry. Then look for all or more partial target at 10367. These numbers are picked by them being swing highs on the 1m chart. Currently, price is...

11-5 trade 1

NihabaAshi's comments yesterday about trailing stops and taking partials keeps ringing in my head. I am not ready to implement this into the strategy yet, as my comments yesterday expained, but I would like to start logging these thoughts in this journal to learn. COMMENTS on implementing...

10173 target hit. will post a chart when esignal comes back.

have lost Esgignal so the add will not happen. Reason for 1/2 lot was because the stop was twice the normal size. Target will have to be 10173, the 15 point target as I can not see any other targets in the form of S/R due to esignal being out

short YM 1/2 normal size at 10390 will look to add to short if we get a test to the upside that meets nice selling. stop is above high of day.

As I have previously mentioned, trend days and this system, or most any counter trend system, do not get along well at all. Today may be one of those days. We'll see. On trend days there can be divergence inside divergence inside divergence producing stalling notions to the trend but not...

Hi NihabaAshi. Thanks for the comments. "2. Never let a profitable trade become a loser because of a fixed profit target that wasn't reached. " While the fixed target idea isn't the best, being that a fixed number knows nothing about the continually changing environment around it, this...

11-4 trade 1

Stopped out. When price went back to 10125 for a 3rd time and held, and shot back up I was tempted to get out at break even. But, I have done this before and then price drops back to my target so I followed my plan. Maybe this will be useful information in the future for some more...

price has gone to 10125, 4 points from target. it hit 10125 twice and then shot up to 10147. this is where the larger timeframe divergence will hopefully kick in and drop price back down. if a signal shows up in the opposite direction to the current trade, I will get out. This is the...

I have already discovered something from starting this journal back up. I am continually looking to add additional methods to my existing method. This is done during the trading day. I would, like most traders, like to have an arsenal of trade possibilities. I realize now that all I...
