in emg tradition - trade canceled. new low for the day invalidates the set up. waiting for the confirmation saved my ass. thanks for the lesson from to NoDoji!

actually moving buy stop to 2296. Need to wait for confirmation before jumping on a long trade. So far no confirmation.

I\\\'m still hear, was taking a little break from trading, still setting up my new trading software, but just for emg sim trade: long 3NQ if we break 95.75 of DB on 5 min. stop 86. Target 96.75 ;)

LF, thanks for stopping by and I\\\'m planning to continue doing bar by bar analysis. The plan is to find the trade, put stop loss and target cover and then study price action. NQ is a bit smother then ES less fake outs and it\\\'s smaller $ per tick.

thanks, I will keep that in mind.

Thanks for contributing. Do you have a stop loss somewhere? thanks. I agree, HFT is not the issue here at all.

thank you.

When I was trading this last week, trading felt increasing like a battle, I need to change my attitude about trading to something like I have seen on somebody\'s journal: my strategy = trading like water calm and tranquility water is soft yet very strong in trading, we need to be calm...

thanks, I forgot to mention this in my previous point - I will be posting a summary chart with my entry/exists when I figure out what software does it best. My current broker TOS does not allow me to see my trades on the charts, so I am researching another broker for sim trading. Looking into...

P&L for Week 3 loss -$3066 Combined P&L since the start of the journal so far: loss -$1414 After 3 weeks of posting here, I realize that what I was doing is not working and I need to change. I\'m going back to sim trading, lots of charts reviewing and more backtesting as well as working on...

will be on sim starting next week.

I\'m listening. Thank you! I did notice and thank you for pointing out that my stops are too tight. I\'m going back to SIM and will figure out the best stops amount. Although I\'m going to switch to NQ for now. Vol, have you ever traded NQ? I realize now that one of the reasons that I...

Ok, for the sake of restoring peace in this journal I apologize to everybody I\'ve offended I do appreciate most of the comments here, but some are outright hostile, so what I need to realize is that\'s OK. I don\'t have to take every trade and I don\'t have take every comment personally...

what is better to do sim trading or mental trading. I\'ve just read on somebody\'s journal: you should stop trading for awhile.. I know this hurts but it will save you money.. I would recommend you to not trade on SIM either.. Just make mental trades for now.. For ex, when you are looking at...

Quite the opposite, I\'ve found many postings helpful, but not all, as it is obviously impossible and thank many of the posters for the contribution. I\'m really wondering now how did I set off people like that? Ammo, what\'s your beef?

please do let me know who you mean so I can apologize personally.

Ammo, RedNeck, Mark, have I ever offended you? who are the people I offended, please let me know. the only people I told to get lost are one person who told me to stop the journal. And maybe emg, but that is a separate case and I was very nice about it, because we have different trading...

So starting Monday i\'ll be trading on a simulator and will continue posting my trades. I also want to try trading NQ and see if it will be better suited for my style.

what exactly do you mean by that?

Ok, just for the record I didn\'t tell all the people who are trying to help to piss off. quite the opposite I am trying to incorporate the suggestions.
