33s, 50e, 77s, 74e, 40e/85n, 40e, exit 287, right, right, right, park on the left, and your there. No sweat. :D

Today was not the best day for trend traders. My filter did it's job, and kept me out for most of the day. 3 trades, all losers for -4.25 points. First day back trading real $$$. Since I made so many changes to the system, I am beginning anew. The account is back up to where it should...

Yeah, me too. I was too busy playing with software to make any money today, even if it was on paper... Go ahead, and brag, if you rode this puppy for at least 20 pts. :D :D :D :D

Did not trade today due to a "permissions" thing with IB. Spent the morning getting it straightened out. Downloaded the beta eSignal charting software, and spent the afternoon playing with that. Did not papertrade either. By the time I got back up and running the 40 pt move was half over...

Been thinking of you, and glad you are home, and semi amblitory. Now, don't do anything stupid and try to rearrange the furniture. :D

They are supposed to be. LOL. T6 was an outlier. No doubt about that. I wanted to get in on the big drop, and didn't wait for the setup, much less the trigger. And when the big drop came, I didn't even "trade" it, but watched. I know, stick to the plan. Thanks N. :)

6 trades, 2 winners, 1 loser, 3 b/e for +4 pts. Today was my first trading day in which was a Fed announcement. I missed the trend this morning and ended up being in a scalp mode, instead of a trend mode, so my exits were different. Missed the first leg up, but hit the second, third, and...

6 trades, 2 winners, 3 losers, and 1 b/e for +1.75 Ran some errands this morning when the chop persisted. Trend following don't work ina range bound market. The last 4 trades, when the trend was pronounced, were 2 winners, 1 loser and 1 b/e for+ 3.75. Things are still falling into place...

This just happened to me for the first time yesterday. Disconnected for a short time (seconds, not minutes) and luckily she was going in my direction. I have a backup broker's trading desk on speed dial (ZAP Futures), and can enter an opposing order in less than 45 seconds. Have a...

When I'm papertrading, I just give the gross points. When I'm trading real $$$, I give net $$$$, minus commissions. Hope to be real trading next week, after J is back in school, and I have the house to myself.

Only traded after 2:00. Meet the teacher, school supply shopping, and lunch with dad took up the morning. :) 4 trades, 2 winners, 1 loser, 1 b/e for +3.75 pts.

Tried to change my e-mail address with IB today. To do that, you need to remember your security phrase. Couldn't remember it, so I went to the online chat. They gave me my security question to help me remember my phrase, but that didn't help either. Ended up calling them and got thru right...

Couldn't get a feel on the trend in the morning. Did some other stuff today, and came back after 2:30 and said to myself, obvious trend up. Feel ok about not trading the whole day. Got alot of other stuff accomplished, including laughing with another trader for about 2 hours of the phone...

God's blessings to you and His guidance to the surgeons. Remember, don't tick off the nurses, they have access to needles to poke you with that are bigger than your thumb!!!!! H

ROTF. That is funny!!!

Made my 10 pts (actually 12) by 11:06 and was done for the day. 7 trades, 6 winners, 1 loser for +12 pts. Now, this is how I want to trade, everyday.

A trading machine, naaaaa, just trying to figure out the game, which I'm learning is about figuring out me. Thanks for caring, my wife needs someone else to check up on me. I am wearing her out!!! Remember, when I get to the Chicago area, I still owe you!!! :)

Actually, I have been tabulating the Max. Adverse Excursion for the last week, and am averaging about 2.5 to 3 points per trade that she goes against me. If I drop the 2 high and the 2 lows, I get on average about .5 of a point less. The two highs are usually 8-10 points, and the lows are...

HEY, WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY FRIEND LONG. I know you are not him, because he has NEVER talked to me like that. COME OUT OF HIM, I SAY, COME OUT!!!!!! And go into the ABYSS where you belong. Hey Long, are you ok, are you back??? I'm worried about you, man. :(
