What's the deal with your internet connection? I've seen you mention it going out several times. Do you live somewhere remote where the service just isn't good?

Why is there usually such large volume & big moves on the 6:05 bar? If the big guys already plan on buying why don't they fill their orders in the middle of the night? It doesn't seem to make much sense for them to rush in all at once.

Days like this are exhausting. I also got stopped by 2 pennies seconds before a 50 cent move down, but I've been doing pretty good keeping my risk smaller today & being more patient. (Being patient is exhausting too) Anyway no more 20 cent losses. I think maybe I'll quit for the day...

Thanks for the reply. I made a point today of being more patient & choosier, so I know what you mean. I mainly use the 5 minute chart to look for trades, but I worked harder on combining it with the 1 minute to shrink those stops, get in earlier, & to tighten the stops as soon as a logical...

Do you guys ever take something like a 20-cent loss? I had some trades today where I thought I got in early, but still the most logical stop was just about 20 cents away (which is my max). BCE always seems to have the tiniest losses or breakeven. I hate losing $200, but I don't see...

I did see that trade. Even your bad trade made money. You're pretty good at this. I'm just paper trading right now. I've lost enough money in the past, so I won't trade live until I have mastered the sim.

BCE even makes a ton of money when his computer breaks, & his entries & exits seem incredibly precise sometimes. I need to know how to do that ! I've read a ton of NoDoji's posts, so I've learned a bunch. Still working on perfecting my plan; today has made it loud & clear my plan is not...

Josh & BCE, Are you guys profitable every single day? I recently started reading the posts in this thread each day & all I see from you guys are tiny little losses & nice, juicy profits. You make it look easy. Unfortunately if you saw my trades I do not make it look easy, so I was just...

What were the reasons for entering this trade? I've looked at a few of your charts now & you're always right, but I don't see anything on the chart that would be a trigger to enter a trade, other than price looks extended in one direction or another. Are you psychic?

It's similar to Paleo. One big difference is that this diet includes starches. The Paleo diet, from what I understand, can lead to problems such as stomach cancer because without starches the body does not produce enough mucin, which for one thing, coats the lining of the stomach. The "do...

Check out PerfectHealthDiet.com. That's the diet I follow & recommend. The authors recommend 65-70% of daily calories come from fat (the type of fat is extremely important though). The diet is based on avoiding toxic foods and obtaining just enough of each nutritent to bring the levels into...

What are dynamic diagonals? I've heard mention before that the diagonal lines are very good...............are they the same thing as a trendlines or different?

I've never heard of ultradian cycles & the other things you mentioned. I do think not taking a break has something to do with it as I usually have this problem after 2 or 3 days of trading when my brain just feels fried. As of now though I've come to the conclusion that I just lack a proper...

You need to have a plan before you put your money at risk.

He was probably looking at that giant green bar as "going long with confirmation" as it definitely took out the previous high. Any buy after that bar would still be valid as long as the low of the green bar wasn't taken out; by waiting he just gets a better fill. I think the weakness in...

I think he posts under "The Oracle" now. Sounds just like him anyway (whoever he is). Thanks for the guidelines example. I haven't figured out which trades are high or low probability yet. I am sim trading CL right now, but need to fix my sloppy, unstructured approach before I can move on...

I was just thinking about this last week. I spent 2 days in sim doing the opposite of what looked like a good trade. I'd go short where I'd normally go long, and put in a buy limit where I usually had a stop. (Amazing how fast some of those buy limits were filled on a quick spike down)...

I keep trying to figure out what makes trading so hard. It's just a gambling game in a huge casino, but with everything stacked in the player's favor. We can choose: When to play Where to play How much to bet When to increase bet When to enter When to exit Maximum gain Maximum loss...

I've tried making a plan multiple times, but it just seems silly after I do it. The plan is simply to make a fortune from trading. I prefer daytrading. Right now it's CL, used to be NQ (which I can't even stand to watch anymore; it chops endlessly & slowly too often). I also wrote down a...

My stop on the 2nd buy was below the swing low in price at about 97.92. Target 98.80. Entry was about 98.15. I wish there was a way to make my trading more objective. I use the words, "it looks like", and "this could be", and "this will probably" all the time. Problem is I'm wrong too...
