7 Years. Oh shit, don't know if I should be encouraged or discouraged.

Very nice ! Love how you're able to ride the winners. Are you trading live now ?

Nice, I hadn't even thought of that. I've never tried any audio books.

-.75 today, 4 trades. Too concerned about not wanting to give up the weeks profits. Nice 123 long a little before 7:00 that I missed. I had an order in then cancelled it. Overall, a good week.

Thanks for all your posts Handle. I always enjoy and learn something from them. jas

That overlapping PA tip I'm quite certain I got from you. I don't see it now in your posts I've printed out but ,man, that stack of stuff you've written is great ! Thanks again ! Book on order ? :) All my books nowadays are on my Kindle. Instant download and can read at night without...

+ 9.50 today More opportunities than I'm used to. The patience I've developed needs to adjust to the market. About a 50 pt range today so I feel like I should have made more than I did. But focusing on the positive and overall very pleased. First trade exit based on break of 5 min TL...

..or an update today. This exit (second trade) used to drive me crazy. Leaving too much on the table. Followed my plan though. Taking exits based on idea i'll eventually scale out and for now taking first exit. The point is, today, missing the rest of the move didn't bother me. Very happy...

Still plugging along. For June I was plus about 10 NQ pts. Obviously after commish I'm negative. Feels like (and in review) I'm doing more things right than wrong. Less of the mistakes I used to make. Will do an update later this week.

nice exit

ND has posted plenty of real time trades overs the years. Her word is good.

RN, let me know what you think of it. =============== Moonmist, Thanks, I've watched that one but haven't yet read the book that she recommends. Linda is great, i'll listen to it again. I'm now reading " Switch: How to change things when change is hard". Back and forth between that...

:) Thanks, Glad you found it helpful.

The mental side. Here's what been going through my head last few weeks. I'm re-reading Lanny Bassham's book “With Winning in Mind”. I'm putting this at the top of my list of psych. books. Better than Douglas' Trading in the Zone despite Bassham's book not being about trading. This...

Not a lot of opportunities for my set ups today. Didn't trade too well either. -3.00 5 trades will do some review and back at it tomorrow

+1.75 Seeing set ups better. Noticing 3 reasons to enter, aware of being uncomfortable, then entering. great. pleased. Targets. moving them still. I've never liked targets. Goes against what was ingrained through the Market Wizards books. Let profits run. Well, I'm a better trader now...

Thanks for the post Johnny. I appreciate it.

Thanks for the post Mo. I watch a 5 minute chart for set ups and a couple HTF's. Trades entered off the 1 minute going for hopefully 5 -10+ pt targets. So, my intention is not to scalp but I guess it depends on ones definition. It has been suggested before to me that I try HTF and longer...

yesterday very narrow range. 4 trades , BE less commish. ======== Today first trade I hesitated then asked myself if it was a set up and would I feel uncomfortable taking the trade. I answered "yes" so placed the order. :) Got filled moments later and it worked well for + 9.00 That was...

Today NQ had about a 15 pt range ,the smallest range since January. + 4.00 today. There was a buy I missed around 7:53. Not sure why. Can't remember if I got distracted or lost focus in the somewhat sloppy bars. A short around 8:30 briefly considered but didn't like price was in middle of...
