I would suggest looking at Adam Grimes work; free trading class on- line and/or his book. Also yourtradingcoach.com has lot's of free info or you can purchase his course.

I absolutely agree with this. Before you decide not to take his advice I would really sit down and have a talk with yourself as to why you do not want to do it. What beliefs are being challenged by accepting this may be the best path. Take a look at the start date of my journal and how long...

It was a good day of trading. Well, I did my job. The session itself was kind of dull. Pretty choppy and I started off with a series of losses. Then proceeded to do what I'm supposed to do. A bit more patience, take a break, stay calm. Lot's of sitting on hands. Just being a trader . -2 ticks...

RN, Enjoy your time off. Best wishes to you and your family for a very Merry X-mas and happy New Year ! Thank you for all your help, encouragement and gentle ass-kicking. jas

Hang in there KP. We've all been there. Like JS says try to let go of the frustration. You are going to miss a lot of moves. It's part of the business. As your skill improves you will catch more. Until then be patient with yourself. I used to hate missing moves 'cause that was going to be the...

Thank you, Slugar ! Happy holidays to you and your family as well. Looking forward to seeing your progress next year. ===== Thanks, RN ! See you in the morning.

OK, so can I keep trading well and making money ? That was the question for the day and also, Why do I have self doubt ? After some thought and adding another page to my trading notes I come up with two things. The short version: 1) My inner critic is either trying to protect me from some...

No trading today. Working on inner critic, beliefs and self -confidence. Traders psych. tune up.

Got to head out for the evening RN. thanks. I've got some thinking to do tomorrow to get myself straightened out.

I don't know if CL is just easier to trade or if I'm finally just getting the hang of this trading thing. Either way nice to be green again. Only 3 trades today. Volatility was a bit much. 200 tick move in 5 minutes !! Waited to trade until after Inv #'s then started seeing 40+ legs. Waited...

Thanks RN & Slugar. Will be rested and ready tomorrow. Patience, patience , focus. Deep breath, move away from desk.

Thanks, JS.

Shutting down early. Lost some focus and it got quite volatile. Plus I had a pretty good day for me. My discipline is generally better when the first trade goes to target. Today only 5 trades. 4 were traded per plan , 1 was not per plan when I exited before my target for + 16 instead of...

Today I started writing down affirmations. Didn't include confidence though. I'll get back to you on the audio, thanks. I will also be having a Q & A session with myself and try to drill down to why I believe I should be exiting trades early. Trade goes + 16 then retraces and I exit + 3 to...

I think I still have confidence issues in me and my method. Improving slowly. Still having days where the method is outperforming me. I wrote down on my daily reminder worksheet "Consistency creates confidence". It really does. Consistency of my actions will allow me to trust the method and...

I remember that thread. Oh, how time flies. === Looking forward to trading tomorrow with patience. I will take more valid trades and accept risk(stop placement). I will be patient with trades that are working.

there's one short on that chart. the first trade. then long I exited quickly which i should not have done then another long. jas

JS, Keep in mind I'm still learning this all myself. There are much more knowledgeable traders than me so whatever I say or any one says be sure you test it out and understand it so it makes sense to you. Also a more experienced trader may see things completely opposite to what I do. Re...

Thanks Helgen. ==== Thought about grabbing something on that trade but I've seen 'em have deep PB then reverse right back up. It's a good question though and one I think about. Look at all those missed trades... That's what bugs me more. I'll get there though. Thanks RN. Have a great weekend!

And when the going gets tough I put the rats back in the cage. Well, not completely. There were plenty of opportunities after the early part of the session but my drawdown made me cautious. Instead need to focus on the set ups and let the rats continue working. This day will provide hours of...
