Fuck they cannot route my order at 1197.25 short. What's going on.

Would have gotten out at 1194.75 as a scalp.

I might have missed a short at 1196.75.

Yes, it broke my range too. But I see a setup lining up that can act as a support. After stopping out, I try to enter the trend right after but there is no pullback I like. Will keep looking.

This trade is not very good. Stop out at 1197.75. -1 pt

Enter long at 1198.75. Stop 1 pt away.

I am gonna document my intraday ES (S&P E-Mini) trades for the next five days starting with Columbus Day. I have evolved to be a reversal trader although sometimes my reversal trade is actually a trend entry on a larger swing. I will try to post my trades in real time but when the market...

I agree with darkhorse that the psychological factor is overrated. I do not mean it is not important. The visualization works great for me because it gives me more chance to practice trading. But without my technical setups, none of the mental aspect of trading will "fall" into place. Yet...

The equity curve is in his last post. I think he did 100% for the year.

Great work Spidie! Does anyone trade other "public" methods profitably?

When I buy, sell. When I sell, buy. :(

Chapter 10 "Can you hold fast your crescent soul and not let it wander can you make your breath as soft as a baby's can you wipe your Dark Mirror free of dust can you serve and govern without effort can you be the female at Heaven's Gate can you light up the world without knowledge...

This is to show everything can go wrong: I got stopped out 1.25 pt this morning as my ES trade went my way for 1.5 pt and reversed? It was a good trade I still think even though I lose money. Should I tighten my stop to guarantee profit? I decided not to... I don't want too many decisions...

I stopped out 1.25 pt this morning as my ES trade reversed. I took another trade which went well. I wanted to take my 3 pt profit and found out my platform does not work... As I call Tradestation, the trade went more in my way but by the time I got someone on the phone to make my account work...

Thanks coolweb... I wish I am a smart man but it's all coming from my blood... :(

Feeling the cockiness is not a problem.... Feeding the cockiness is.

Sorry, I should have started on Chapter 10... my mistake. This "cut losses quickly and let profits run" IMO only works for certain setups trading S&P intraday. If your entry is not superior, you might need a bigger stop or it would whipsawed someone's college fund out of you. If you have...

I actually paid for a copy of Lao Tzu's TaoTeChing translated by Red Pine. It's pretty good with various commentaries by the ancients even including some esoteric meanings such as "breathing should be relaxed". I will try to finish what I have started and this will motivate me to finish the...

They can always set one up in India.

Thanks.
