Too much thinking today. I'm trying be absolutely sure my set ups are valid. It's slowing me down and taking me out of the 'flow'. Missed one trade due to over analysis and didn't get the order in quick enough. Overall felt stiff today. A failed set up that I would normally reverse on I just...

Thank you, you too. jas

Just finished review and technically they were within plan. I could nitpick them and say the PA was too sloppy for a long reversal or the following reverse trade going short also too sloppy to take but that's kinda of hind sighting it. Sometimes it still feels like I'm learning my set ups and...

Not sure if you were addressing this to me. I only watch one market NQ. (Well, I watch ES & YM for occasional confirmation but don't trade 'em) Chop in real time ? Try this http://www.elitetrader.com/et/index.php?threads/help-ive-been-chopped.277421/ Unfortunately my experience is often it...

Choppy today. I had good patience and focus in the a.m. , lost some discipline in the afternoon and took two trades I should not have. Did a fine job of letting go, not frustrated with the day but I need to bring much, much better discipline tomorrow. 6 trades, -10.00

Today was a difficult day in NQ, IMO. Pretty range bound. Possibly felt like forcing because in chop it can be confusing and there may be mixed signals. The forcing feeling comes from the uncertainty along with the gut feeling (subconscious ?) that it may not be a proper environment to be...

Will do. Thanks, RN.

Tough day. Choppy. 7 trades -2.00 pts I still need to do a review of the trades. I felt in control of myself and patient. Overall, pleased with how I recognized and took set ups and remained calm. There was money to be made today however just a little beyond my abilities. That is , given...

Will do RN. Calm patient focused. disciplined and detached.

I've lost my edge for the day. My entries were disciplined and correct. My exits not so much. My last two trades I exited early ( a loss and small win) and decided I better call it a day. I did a very good job taking trades which has been a weakness but I'm still emotionally tied to the...

I agree. I'm also trusting myself more to take proper set ups. Helps with the detachment.

Why do I feel I'm only getting half the posts ? :)

Thanks, RN !

Took me a couple trades to figure it was a wide range in the a.m. Not conducive to my set ups. Didn't trade after FOMC, too volatile. -2.50 pts Good patience. Good discipline.

Yep, Expecting more volatility than I'd like. But who knows. Been a lot of sitting on hands this a.m.

I get what you're saying and agree. I actually feel that I'm trading with more detachment than I ever have. It's not entirely reflected in my results but trust me I feel a difference. I have room for plenty of improvement and it's my main focus each day. Discipline and "I am not my system"...

Overall, everything fine. If I'm being critical then the choppy bars lulled me into boredom and the perception that opportunities were limited. Something i'll watch for in myself in the future. That last trade had the possibility of being a major swing low so I could have given it more time. It...

6 Trades, BE. Kinda choppy. Opportunities were there just couldn't quite catch 'em.

Thanks, RN. Despite some mistakes it was a good day for me in keeping mostly calm and disciplined.

A few more trades. Not perfect execution today but improving. Entries are within proper HTF context.
