And here are my efforts in the futures "pit"

here is the WYE charts

Kind of a rocky day, bad start, but I managed to recover to some extent. WYE got me pretty badly. But it was entirely avoidable. First, I think there was news on it, and I missed it. Then also, there was a closing print that skewed the last price enough to get a fill, even though WYE...

The post was for Bronks, but I too am taking careful note of what you are suggesting. Thanks for posting.

Thanks guys, It certainly does make sense. I am taking note of all the things folks are saying. The hard part is recognizing it all in real time. Also, it sure seems that the best trades are counter intuitive, at least to me. A weekend of study ahead. My bad back won't let me do...

And my NQ efforts were awful

And my spy trade wasn't any good

Didn't get much out of opening orders today. My hits just didn't perform.

And I managed to get off a couple of OK trades in the NQ. But there was considerable mismanagement by management on some of the entries. Gotta work on that cluck factor..

If I can learn to use snagit...ANYBODY can. I was like you Bronks.... knew just what I had to in order to get my job done, and precious little else. BUT.. nkhoi, I don't know how to draw the freehand sketched circles. Is there an icon I am missing? Thanks

Sean Juan, ddefina, Thanks. Good thoughts all. I am trying to write down my rules for trading. This is harder than it looks, at least for me. (perchance because I have no rules ??) :confused: I wish I had simply opened my orders and sat all day...... I am trying to figure out...

AND now for something a little different.

SPY trades were strictly head up my *** for the most part. Here are the SPY trades

Bad day at black rock...... not so much from the losing trades but from suffering "moronicus dementia" Opening orders.. couldn't get loose from BA no matter what I did, caused great anxiety and lost concentration resulting in bad management of the other trades. Still need to learn about...

Get snagit from snagit.com Easy to use and makes great gif's See my thread in the journals section plus in the "trying to post charts" thread

Not a bad day at all. I had very good results on opening orders. Afterwards, for a variety of reasons, I didn't trade any more. One reason is that I told myself if/when the first time I could book a legitimate 3 figure day, I would do so and not screw it up. Remember, I am only...

And the SPY and QQQ trades...

OK, Here is the trade log
