Not perfect but better. Trade 2. HOD is a target. But I give it some room if PB looks 'normal' and to see if there will be continuation. Not sure that's the best strategy but that's the plan now. 3 & 4 late entries really messed with my head.

Thanks, slugar. And you as well !

Yep, thanks. Still hard to getting trading off the mind. Been thinking good thoughts and mentally reviewing set ups today. Patience, execute, manage. WRR I'm just there to trade the plan

Since we're just sitting waiting for the close, my trades so far. Not many opportunities for my set ups. Good discipline and always picking up a little more PA knowledge. +5.00

You both have a good weekend ! I may call it quits pretty soon to. jas

I prefer closer stops and a re-entry if needed. Thus I would place the stop based on the second signal which, in this example a short, would be below the stop of the prior signal. ============== My discipline taking trades was good today. Even the 'uncomfortable' ones felt fine. Exits not...

I know why I missed that trade yesterday. It's because I missed an entry signal a few minutes prior. I have a habit of passing on continuation entries after I miss an entry. Maybe it feels like chasing, maybe it feels too late, IDK and doesn't matter. I do know I do this and I need to remember...

Got it. Thanks for keeping me honest. ;)

Messy context but taking trades. That's fine IF structure is correct and set up is there but don't get lazy and impatient and take half assed trades. Good discipline followed plan not congruent with lost focus missed trade. Expect more from yourself. Raise the bar and REALLY have discipline...

First few trades I wasn't thrilled about taking. Context a bit messy. But I miss too many trades so I'm just taking them. Basically the structure was correct to be taking them. Too often I find reasons to not take trades. Seems I lost some focus and missed a good trade. Overall, pretty good...

IDK, about switching TTF to 5 minute but I do know I need to pay more attention to the 5 minute than I am. It's there on my right (i have 2 monitors) with channels drawn and S/R levels marked. But too often at EOD I look back at the 5 and see that a bar by bar analysis shows nice clarity that...

Lot's of mid close 1 minute bars threw me off again. I ended up passing on a couple trades I should have taken. Call it a lesson in PA. Several decent disciplined trades that went in my favor a couple points then reversed for around 1 pt loss. My last two trades I should not have taken. So a...

minus 1 pt. Choppy action. I traded the plan pretty well. missed 1 entry because didn't reverse quick enough. overall good discipline.

If you don't mind me asking, what are you doing as far as educating yourself on trading ? There are some excellent and generous traders here on ET but there are also some good websites and books that can help put the pieces together, IMO.

Yes, I believe I've improved. It's taken me much, much longer than I expected to really understand my set ups. By that I mean they're written clearly enough now that i believe some one else could trade them. Trade management is also much improved. I believe I have a very solid foundation of...

Thanks RN. That was one of those vacations where you come home needing a vacation. Had a little bit of a cold when I got home. Almost back up to speed. Traded a bit last Thursday and Friday. Did some review over the weekend. I am not taking all the available trades. I'm ready to start being...

Thanks, RN. Will do ;)

A trader told me the other day via PM that I am personalizing this process of learning and trading. That I am not my method. I suppose I knew this but the message that I am not my method makes sense to me now in a way it never had before. My first response when hearing I am not my method was...

Still trading FB ?

exactly RN. There are no more ah-ha moments I need. it's time to stop trying to be a trader and just Be a trader.
