Thank you. I will. Mostly try to focus on my mini goals. Enter without hesitation, verbalize PA action out loud (i've found it helps me), and stay calm and manage trade based on PA (failed a bit on that today) Thanks. :)

yesterday -5.75. today +3.00 I think yesterday i figured out my edge. Focus. I was tired yesterday and didn't feel focused. The entries weren't bad but they just didn't work. I was kind of going through the motion of identify set ups but not having the feel for it. Today should have...

Rashid, I'm still trying to get to consistent profitability so this is my opinion only. I like both entries but i'm trying to take more of the first one on your chart. Using a lower time frame as price pullsback to resistance to look for signs that price is slowing or rejecting the...

i did good for me but then i set the bar pretty low. :D tricky day i thought.

trying. still learning. nice exit.

2 trades 9 points. + 4.25 & + 4.75 Good entry on first trade, no hesitation. Did a good job of avoiding chop although there were some missed opportunities. second trade . using initial 3 point stop now kept me 1 tick from being stopped out. My 2.25 stop i had been using would have...

yep it did.

triangle gonna break today ?

For longer term investments i'd take a look at AAII.com They've got good research and screening tools for stocks picks that outperform. Having said that my personal opinion is being long stocks now is risky. Bank CD's at least don't go down in value. For a 5 -10 yr horizon then a portion in...

a lil volatile this am

The question i thought you asked was what are good long term investments. Are you looking to trade , day or swing , for your source of income ? What is long term to you ? 1 yr ? 10 years ? Do you know the historical returns of stocks and what they've returned the past decade ? Do...

Correct yourself ? You mean stop and reverse or correct YOURSELF- attitude. thanks, JP i WILL get this trading game

We've all heard that trading is mostly mental and i've frequently thought bullshit. Give me a setup and the mental part will be easy. Finding the set ups is the hard part. Today i think i get it. It's more mental than i realized. My 'set ups' are price patterns and my ability to read the...

Where do i start ? +5.25 points today. The positives: traded my first 2 trades quite well. not perfect but well. On past large down, volatile days i likely would have lost money. After recognizing my first trade was wrong i exited and reversed within 15 seconds. I showed good patience MOST...

Today ? Something scheduled ? I'm liking the long side here but still too cautious to take it

Very nice !

3 Trades -.75, -1.00, +4.75 net +3.00 points too much of a short bias perhaps. no doubt influenced by the negative adv/dec numbers. no real mistakes overall. continuing to focus on quick entry when signal occurs and trying to stay calm and objective in my trade management. passed on a...

2 short trades -2.75 points Good entry on first , fair entry on second. Good trade management today. If i did anything wrong today it was failure to take another short set up. And i suppose not recognizing the bull trend earlier in the day. The progress is subtle; not chasing, seeing...

2 trades; - 3.75 pts Made a mistake in stop placement which is really inexcusable at this point. I figured i would exit before stop was hit anyway so didn't bother to move to where market structure dictated. Price jumped and stopped me out before i closed. Proper stop placement would have...

looks like yesterdays chop continues with bias likely to downside based on the other indices and a/d #s :confused:
