    My journey to profitable trading: NQ price action journal

    Thanks! I hope you had a good day today. I didn't place any trades today. It seemed like a low volume choppy day at first, and I didn't see anything that fit my plan. We'll see what happens tomorrow.

    My journey to profitable trading: NQ price action journal

    I placed a trade this morning that fit my plan. I went long and unfortunately the NQ dropped down and tagged my stop then went to target. I wasn't upset, as I know things like that are to be expected and happen all of the time. Soon after that however, the market pulled back a bit giving me...

    My journey to profitable trading: NQ price action journal

    I placed one trade today that fit my plan, but the trade didn't work out. I was stopped out. I was ok with that because I followed my plan, I kept my emotions out, and I did what I was supposed to do. My goal for this week is to just follow my plan, and make the trades that I should make...

    My journey to profitable trading: NQ price action journal

    Thanks for the comments and feedback. I do have a written plan, and I spent a lot of time over the weekend going over it and making small changes based on how things went after my first week of trading last week. At the end of the week, I wrote a weekly summary document that went over the...

    My journey to profitable trading: NQ price action journal

    It was a bad trade all around. I wanted the stop at that point, and when i first looked at the trade and thought the market was heading lower it would have been a 5 point stop or so, which was still 2 points more than I wanted. Then in a few moments, the NQ fell a few more points and it was...

    My journey to profitable trading: NQ price action journal

    Thanks, and you too. Well, today didn't go all that well. I didn't make any trades in the morning, and I admit after watching the market drop, I felt like I had missed out. I admit that my emotion clouded my judgement, and I went short at a spot that did not really fit my plan. Nevertheless...

    ^^ Just following up on this post. It turns out that the fee was taken by some bank other than Ninja or Dorman. Someone from Ninjatrader saw my post, looked into the issue for me, and got back to me with a reply. The service and everything has been great so far, I have no complaints at all!

    NinjaTrader Introduces Brokerage Services - $3.38 per round turn "all in"

    I just set up an account and the process went smoothly and was open quickly. The couple of times that I've called in the people have been helpful. So far so good, I have no complaints. The only 'complaint' I would have is that it looked like they charged me $10 for the wire-in fee but it says...

    My journey to profitable trading: NQ price action journal

    I have a small ($200) max loss for the day rule that I'm following for now at the beginning, and it didn't take me long to hit that today. I placed a couple of trades that did not fit my plan. The one positive that I'm taking away from today is that I did follow my rules as far as my stops go...
