a Primer on the system that I use. Concept: My system combines support and resistance with trend following with the attempt to catch the meat of a move. There are 3 different plays/trades that I will look to take. Like in football each has its benefits and drawbacks. The plays are the...

haha bandit you of all people are commenting on that pic, you have BY FAR the sickest trading setup I have ever seen. I have been on Goldman and Citi's trading floor and your montage blows away anything i saw there.

i got a PM from someone here and it made some sense. I think I really need to get my system out of my head and onto paper. I have the rough blueprints and system plan down but i havent updated it in a long time and i certainly dont reference it. Truth is i have been trading very much like a...

Before anyone notices it, i know 7+4 doesnt = 9 . I took 11 trades. Oops

Trading results for the week, I did not trade on friday. 9 Trades 4 winners 7 losers -$140 net Basically right now I am at the point where i feel like I cant do anything right. I took today off, was up late last night doing homework. My thoughts are really scattered as to what...

I think we can all relate to this. Anyone that have truly ever done real trading has blown up at some point. I blew out 1/3 of my account in 4 hours a couple weeks ago. I actually think i learned my lesson this time but i still feel like I am bleeding to death right now. We all know how...

Ok I admit that i am struggling. Wednesday ended up blowing up in my face and today i just took 1 trade which was a loser. Setup looked ok but it had zero follow through. I have decided that for now the best thing i can do is focus on trade selection, since my winners are roughly twice my...

Quin i fully understand what you are saying but i have a 1 day anomale that i lost more than is normal. This is because i attempted to trade 2-3 lots instead of just trading 1. I have set a hard position limit that will force me to call the broker to have that changed.

haha, i had to post that pic for my uh cough cough myspace cough cough. Nah i dont work there just thought it was a sweet looking pic.

This morning something frustrated me and i just wanted to write it down. Basically i recognized that the dow would retest 400 after it opened, 400 would act as resistance and would then be used by bears for a push lower. For my trigger i was looking for a mini rally over a couple bars to go...

cant believe im doing this

August Trading 10 sessions Total PNL -$1015 August was one of the most exciting months the market has seen in years. Volatility returned to levels most traders have long forgot about. The VIX crept from 15 to the 35 area. August had a drastic downswing followed by a swift...

I took another trade on tuesday which brought my total for the day to 4 trades +355 Wednesday 4 trades +95 I really need to improve my winning% which means better trade selection or entry price. Perhaps my stop is too small because the past few days i have found myself getting...

So its been a couple days since i posted. Thursday was beyond a disaster and 3X as bad as as i could have ever imagined it getting. I traded too many contracts, too much flip flopping because i was unable to understand what was occuring. Friday i fared a little better, basically a break...

Today was a disaster, now i remember why i have rules. Too many trades Lost a lot of money.

Today felt like the toughest day today for me to make money. I ended up in the green after a struggle most of the middle of the day. I had several failed setups as the market took out the 13200 zone then took out the 13190 low. 7 trades +$45 Net

today was a little bit better than yesterday for me. Started out taking a loser by attempting to play the breakdown on the YM at 13101 but i was quickly stopped out of that for a 22 point loss. Shortly after i realized that the support at 13100 would indeed hold and that being long was the...

Hey guys well today was it, i popped my cherry. Today could not have been more of an emotional rollercoaster for me. I started out by selling when i wanted to buy, that cost me $25 by time i realized i was short when i wanted to be long. Basically i made just about every mistake i could...
