+1 1. Get rid of ALL indicators. Take a fresh look at your charts and try to see what they're telling you. 2. Try to figure out how the price moves from one level to the next, particularly make note of the distance it travels with the trend and on each retrace. 3. Try not to have any bias...

Thanks for your honesty. Consider that tuition money well spent, if in fact, you can learn from it and not repeat the same mistake again. Btw, what's the obsession of all newer traders with the NQ? I found the NQ to be very jumpy for my taste. My stops would have to be really wide and way...

+1 I made the switch to futures after trying to trade stocks for more than 10 years... There is absolutely no comparison. So many advantages point in favor of futures... Daytrading stocks is futile, no wonder stock traders are a dying breed.

+1 tick.

Short 44.75 stop 4 ticks.

Established SPXL long this morning at avg price 74.22. Looking for this uptrend to continue.
