Took +10 pts profit at 577... waiting for a Long 6 fill at 576

Short 6 at 587, stop at 607

450 is the low for the last 3 days.

Losses can add up real fast when you have 12 contracts out. And by the way, back to the original question of the thread. I had my biggest day yet trading YM yesterday: +470 total points. (TOTAL!!!... volente calculates his non-total because he stays consistent.. I have to calculate...

Hopefully I will never again get caught up against the trend. But, those were the times when I was impatient and undisciplined. Goal is 100% win rate eventually and that means not taking those trades that have a potential to be a loser. And this should not be an issue if you let the market...

But, I believe you can position yourself in a way that should rarely be a concern to yourself. It is like in golf, there are those sides of the fairway that you have to aim for because they provide an easier approach shot onto the greens. Also, when you hit into a green you have to position...

Don't mind your comments at all and I think you have a great point. I devised a great trading strategy. And it is based on CHAOS. Markets can and will do anything it wants at anytime, and going into it with a set system or a set stop is just not the right thing to do. Because each and...

I was long 12 contracts @ 475, from around noon (12-12.30), and I was holding onto huge losses. Just didn't think it could make quite a rally like that. All in all, a potential disaster day turned into a decent day. I was just too excited to post that I sold it because I did it right on top...

Anyone know what caused this huge rally?

I sold my longs at the top..... 513

I am done for today. Yeah, I guess I loaded up at the open, at is started to go up. I thought, maybe the rally I expected yesterday would be today. And I let the stop get away on that one. Because I was profitable, I just couldn't bring myself to take that stop. And then I shorted...

One very bad trade....where I deviated from all my rules. Got stopped out on that huge tick up.

I use stops, but then I move them, thus it is pointless to have stops for me. I also sometimes add to losing trades if the circumstances are right. I just don't like taking some off the table, When I take profits, I would like to take the whole thing off and get started on a new position...

Short 6 @ 457 edit: stop at 475 Target 439

thats a nice quote...

I was long 7 contracts from the open.... still holding... :( no stop.. this is painful.

117 RTs.. wow... whats your profit target if you have one?

+302 pts today, on 34 RTs. I was scalping today, and holding onto losers at other times. :D Thats nothing to be proud of since there was a lot of movement up, down and back up etc. Dang Volente, I actually beat your best pts day on the first post. I think today was my best day in terms...

I remember one of my golf rounds that had the potential to be a lot more: I was one under on the front side. Then, Par, Eagle, Birdie, Birdie..to start off the back nine. All of a sudden, I am 6 under with 3 holes to play. Then I hit it to 2 ft on # 16, and I am scrambling to find out...

OMG... that gap just got filled... Something which I thought would never happen.
