A+ for entering trades and for patience in waiting/not taking trades. C- for management. First two trades were managed perfect and next two were exited early. The last trade I was hesitant to enter so when it went positive then paused at support I think I thought "well, I wasn't expecting this...

Yes, I believe I am still trading the PnL. It may well be my last hurdle. I am aware I do it once I get positive on the day. It's in the back of my mind but also trying to consciously push through and take more trades if they're there. My primary focus is to make sure the trades I take are valid...

Feel a little lucky. First trade went to target +25 then after that not many opportunities. So, only the 1 trade. I boxed some zones which did a good job keeping me out of mostly chop today. My trade I was not thrilled about taking thinking support may hold. But it was doing a lousy job trying...

Beautiful!!

thanks. Sorta gets back to just letting go. == posted last weeks trades to excel. Moving target higher costs me and exiting before stop is hit cost me. This type review certainly helps build trust in the method. I think I'm where I want to be as a trader and don't even realize it :cool...

That's excellent KDA. The book "With winning in mind" says "when athletes have the mind set that they expect to perform well, victory is automatically an option. For others, hope is their mind set. Who would you pick to win that competition ?" Today I moved my target on my last trade based on...

yeah I was a little slow mentally today. Might be that simple. Thank you , nice job yourself :D Have a good weekend !

JS, we've got a good group hanging out here. Feel free to discuss whatever you like. ======= Let's see where to start. Missed a couple trades early on. My first thought was at least they're good examples I can print up so I don't miss them next time. Later, during a break I realized I don't...

FWIW, my belief is that learning to trade is like learning to play an instrument or a sport. Need to learn the basic fundamentals and skillset then it's lot's and lot's of practice. Then if you want to make it to the pro's you're going to need to acquire the proper mental skills as well.

OK, RN. I usually place most of the same lines manually on each chart. Some of the minor TL's on the 1 minute I don't put on the 5. But I just changed the properties on the channels, TL's and minor horizontal lines so that they automatically will appear on all charts. (The pink lines I already...

- 26 ticks today. Educational. It was a very choppy range for most of the day. I made a couple mistakes and should have had more patience. Was -59 then finally the market broke out. Was able to catch 33 ticks (yes, did increase my target based on the PA) This was with about a half hour til...

Working late today ? :)

I was relaxing, enjoying the evening, and drinking a beer when I noticed on my cell phone.. Then I say, in a joking kind of way... "Now that you are here I can go all in.. Don't take this the wrong way. And you want to trade OPM !? Come on, you're better than this. Get focused, man.

1 -1 1/2 hr commute total for the day. Tax prep/bookkeeping. In a couple weeks I will stop trading until after April 15th. After that I can devote a substantial amount of time to trading but there's still catch up work to do, bookkeeping, payrolls and returns on extension. Definitely, full days...

My understanding/belief is that we can not ignore the inner critic. It will only grow stronger as it tries to demand we pay attention to it. Instead we acknowledge the inner critic and it's concerns and let it know that we understand that it has the same goal as us and is trying to help us but...

+29 ticks. Had some distractions that threw me off a little but reviewing the trades now I did a great job staying out of the post inventory report chop. 1st trade had quick MFE 16 then as quick was only +2. I stayed calm and noticed I was disappointed that I might be getting a small loss...

Until we meet...Cheers !

Thanks. Did a little review. I fucked up. I increased a target based on a consolidation during the trade . So got + 6 instead of 25 and am embarrassed to say i re-entered the trade and did same thing and got +10 instead of 25. And that's why we review trades and that's why we maintain...

Nice job JS. I like how you're really paying attention to your mindset. Remember to take slow deep breaths as needed :)

-6 ticks. At least I'm keeping my daily losses reasonable however I'd much rather be having profits. Still need to review todays trades. Seems several ran 15-20 ticks and I was exiting < 10. Only 1 trade went to my full target. Overall traded pretty relaxed. Market has a different feel than...
