Annoying. After losing confidence on the short side due to 4 stop-outs, it now decides to drop 60 ticks nice a fast without me on board, lol.

Rough start to the week. A few stop-outs on oil in a row and I'm down about $800. Gap down overnight and a huge spike down, so I thought I'd trade with the trend, but all attempts at shorts have been stopped out. Small winning trade on the ES

Did you mean to post that in this journal, britefire?

Where then, if not in charts??

Yes. Like I said, when I said 'price went the wrong way' I didn't mean for it to sound like I control price, and it done the wrong thing, lol. Just that it went the 'wrong' way in terms of where my price action analysis said it should go. So yes, I could have easily have said that my analysis...

but wouldn't that be kind of 'curve fitting'? I sometimes think about similar ideas to that which you suggest, but then I wonder if it actually makes any sense.

Summary: Week 1 = +643 Week 2 = +927 Lets see what next week brings! Might be due some bad luck...have to wait and see.

I called it right! :) hit it's target (didn't trade that one, though)

Getting close to my target:

looking like it might go back up to the breakeven stop here on the ES

would be putting a stop in at BE now If I took it. Looking OK so far

'Wrong' in the sense that it went in the opposite direction to what my analysis was anticipating. Stop being such a pedant, lol. I'm sure every other poster knew what i meant. I'm just here trying to do my best. It's hard enough without your unhelpful negativity. I'm not sure what i've done...

price action looking like it could be looking to go down here at 1639.25 towards 1633?? Not gonna trade it though. think i'm done for the day

As we stand now then: Week 1 = +643 Week 2 so far: Mon (-$1645) Tues (-$700) Wed +$2265 Thur +$639 Fri + 368 So as it stands at the moment i'm +$927 for the week. (less commissions) Tempted to stop here for the week and happy to be positive again, especially after the...

..............

happy with that one! +4 ES points.

first trade of the day. See how it goes.

Looking good, although I have no idea what all of your options trades mean, lol. I know nothing of options. Do you trade them as opposed to pure directional plays (short ES contracts for example) as a way of managing risk? All seems a bit complicated for me, but I find it interesting/...

doing OK so far. You trade equities? Are you trading from charts or are you more of a level2/Time+sales type of trader?

I see what you mean now. No, that is an indicator that I actually paid for, but don't use. It loads whenever I open a chart in ninja as, for a period, it was my 'default' chart. I close the actual t+s box that loads up now, although the indicator is still 'attached' to the chart, I can't...
