    jasinhbca's quest for discipline, knowledge & profits

    2 trades +6.50 pts ( -3.00 + 9.50) Pretty much sat on hands after that then went out to lunch. Next step for me is power of NOW and to keep trading after booking , for me , a decent daily point total. Felt a little confused in the morning then i remembered i'm not trying to predict...

    Missed the trade i thought about taking and should have taken then went on tilt. Was concerned about shorting a strong open so didn't take the trade. Missing trades has probably led to more bad trades than anything i'd guess. 3 trades - 7.00 pts shutting down platform to avoid any revenge...

    Didn't have the focus today that i would have liked which happens more often on Mondays. I was aware of it and didn't force or chase any trades even after missing some nice entries. Pleased about that. 1 trade + 5.25 pts MFE +9 MAE - .50 One of my big beliefs has been that trading...

    This trade (chart posted) is the set up i want to take more of and have had trouble pulling the trigger on before. Unfortunately works better when the market isn't range bound like today but i like the R:R. Had MFE +4.5 closed for +1.00 Target at the 41 area may have been smart...

    market. Have considered using limit orders for entries. Usually the qtr or half i might save is not worth possibly missing the trade. On exits unless i have a target i just want out. Please don't tell me i should be using limit orders. My little brain can only handle so much :D

    3 trades + 4.50 All in about the first hour . Lost some focus in the afternoon and kind of needed to just book a day of profits so i wasn't looking too hard for another trade. Nice action though. I could have let my one winner run more but lately i've seen so many trades at 5+ that turn...

    2 trades - 5.25 points Anticipate the breakout or wait for it then enter ? I'll do both depending on how i see PA develop. The thing that i'm realizing that is more important is trade management. If you buy anticipating a breakout as i did today and price stalls then the premise for the trade...

    2 trades -1.50 3 minute chart attached which i'm using more frequently for set ups and then using 1 minute to time entry and exits. First trade i sold at support which is one of my problems i'm working on. I was fooled by quick drop and thought momentum would carry it lower. I think i'm...
