Thanks for your reply. Nothing pure luck in trading :) I have the 1895 on my chart too, but i don't think i will set the stop around this area. Meanwhile, I have watched your journal for some time, it seems that this is the first time you hold overnight position. I was with you when Monday...

Nice, the overnight high is 1895. Could i know why you set 1896 as your stop? Thanks

It is really amazing to squeeze profits in slow days like today. It seems you made your first two short on last night and early this morning? could i know what time frame you use to trade, and how many time frames you usually watch? Meanwhile, for the first two trades, since you got out with...

nice job Matcha, no trading sometimes is the best trade. I wasn't discipline enough today, should be shame on myself...

totally agree.. And in real money, sometimes when mistakes or losses are in a row, traders are psychologically killed. R:R=1:1 needs a really good accuracy.

Nod, I have finished your trading journal. You did really excellent job!

hello matcha. It is not an easy job to daytrade index like today and yesterday. I didn't see many set ups, and when there was one, the R/R was not comfortable to get in. Although i am not a profitable trader, I may advice that avoiding days like these is part of successful strategy.

Great work Nod, you are amazing!

I have been in the same situation a lot of times. When i have a big losing day, mostly because i took those reckless trades and totally out of control. And the reason i went mad mainly because I chicked when i need to take action, or i was with the trend but didn't set a reasonable stop for...

I don't trade ES..:) And those numbers are not MP neither, i made the mistake. But thanks for reminding.

Thanks Rashid. is 1600K your mainly trading chart, or your mainly watching chart? I don't trade TL much, i am not good at it. the 3 min chart gave a perfect 3 pushes down reversal in the morning and the pushing low almost closed the gap. It seemed the perfect long set up, but i missed the best...

nice trade, Rashid, what makes you long @98? for me either 94 or above 80 is the point i will go, but unfortunately no filled. ps: never mind, saw your chart. I missed the long and tried to trade some retrace around 1817, stop out:(, the trend is so strong

nice, petty, may i know how you get those numbers? solely based on 50%,100%,200% expansion? when you mentioned the NQ, I did the research long time ago with full globex session, seems NQ has a good chance with 61.8%. However, those numbers don't work as solid as 50% in ES

Thanks a lot bighog, my broker does have the order strategies, like oco, otc, I will learn to use them.. My learning curve seems a little bit too long..

Thanks petty, I want to make money, being right or not is not my issue. Next time, if i feel i am slow or not that desire to win, i don't do any trade.

Now i start to feel the pain of loss, what a slow day!!! And Thank you guys for all your input. I definitely have no idea why i act like today, but the tuition tells me there can be any situations happening in both myself and market. If i can't change it, avoid it. I set some rules here: no...

I think i have to forced myself to win:cool:

Thanks Nod for your advice, that sounds good. I could be ok if i missed the move or re-create the market, since it happens to me a lot in the past. But today it is like a pretty new experience, i clicked the market order buy in a price i really don't want, and set a bigger stop than usual...

Thanks oracle, I will stop trading for the rest of the week, and start to trade in simu to back test my setups. My goal is also to wait for my set up, no set up no trade. hope i can get back like a real warrior.
