I am only trading 1 contract... I need to get that right before committing more $$$ I have already been down that road trading other assets.... and yes real money,, whole different deal than SIM

gotta agree with others on the volume of trades... You made 46 trades in 7 days... that is alot ... but look at the day you did one trade, it was your best day by far! You made 2X profit from the day you pulled 11 trades.... with a whole lot less effort and fees... Do you see what I see.. I...

Okay time to post today's results: 2 short trades for a loss of -16 ticks.... can't say I made any mistakes, they just didn't work out.... lot's of just watching the chart and avoiding false entries... very similar to yesterday, except I made a profit.

Okay,,, I believe the Chicago pit is open from 800 CST to 13:30 CST.... so I guess those are prime time trading hours... but Crude trades well on many other time slots... I am in California... I am trying to develop a set of rules for myself on Crude... If I knew for instance that it...

Don't feel bad. It has taken me a long time and cost me a lot of money to learn that exact lesson. I'm hitting one or two trades per day. As I said previously when I started I was doing up to 15 or more trades per day trading NQ 6 years ago Just today Alone I had three instances where I...

Speedo.... dead on... I enjoy the time I spend reading, reviewing charts, journaling, etc... just trying to make little improvements along the way... I am not ready to be a full time trader yet, BUT I am 100 times better than when I started out.

Speedo... well said buddy..... I see value in journaling and most important,,, reviewing the journal. The biggest thing I am looking for is how well I am sticking to my own rules. I want to know what I was thinking, or what I thought I saw. I will again compare this to a pro athlete...

I totally agree.... it only takes me about 10 minutes max to update my journal from my hand notes in a notebook, to the spreadsheet... it is way way easier now that I am taking much less trades...

please don't use such big words... I have to google them haha

seriously! keeping my hand off the mouse and resisting the urge to trade, when I know it is only a marginal setup, is the most valuable but hardest skill I have had to get wired down. When I started trading futures about 6 years ago, it was not unusual for me to hit 12-18 trades per...

haha... no the darn airlines would have us sitting one on top of another , 2 to a seat if they could get away with it. Travel by flight used to be really cool and fun, like 20 years ago,,, now it just plain sucks
