I don't have hard stats. I've looked before and majority of my winners have MFE almost immediately. So if trade not working quickly then l generally exit at first sign of failure to continue. I'll have to take another look.

A fine day. Good focus. Had quite a drawdown today. Price was making some sharp reversals and I was taking several full stops. Often if price is not doing what it's supposed to after entry or gives a counter signal I can exit with less than a full stop. Not so much today. Stayed calm and...

Great charts Handle. Thanks ! Printed them out.

I came in focused and patient after a little talk with my ego yesterday. Took 1 CL trade then price came back in to a range. Since NQ was up big I started watching that. Took some trades there then went back to CL when NQ also continued to stay range bound. CL trades were not working for me...

# 1. Absolutely ready to make more. Also ready to make less if market conditions are not as favorable. As long as I'm executing properly and with patience I know the results will be satisfactory. But I'm looking forward to making more and increasing contracts, perhaps soon. Patience and...

Hmmm, I like coffee... :)

Wednesday PnL attached. traded at home. +29 ticks mentioned previously.

Thanks RN. I'll get back to you. :)

This can't be repeated often enough. Thanks Handle. You have a good weekend too.

Sort of a mixed day. A good test for maintaining proper state of mind. In that regard I passed but there were mistakes today. My first trade was executed perfectly and I thought uh-oh my ego just let loose a big grin. But I got refocused. My third trade I got nervous holding and rationalized...

More homework, cool. Good trading to you today RN !

Not feeling it today. A little unfocused. 3 trades executed very well except for last trade when I started playing with my target. I did get 19 instead of 15 but too much moving target around is not a good sign. Stopped trading after that. Mostly because I was unfocused and entering a possible...

Thank you JS. Good to hear from you and looking forward to updates from you in the future. ====== Quick update: Another solid day. I like how I held through those little pullbacks. In the past I would enter, price would hesitate then go my way then do a sharp PB and I would panic and wrongly...

agreed. I was thinking same thing. Gotta come in tomorrow patient and focused. New day , back to old 15 tick targets unless conditions absolutely suggest to increase. Be patient. Don't guess, over think or force trades. === see ya tomorrow RN jas

Honestly sometimes I have to really ask myself am I objectively grading myself or influenced by a positive PnL. Having said that I reviewed my trades and they're all valid. I got whipsawed long/short/long and had to ask myself was I trading properly ? Yes. I refocused and was patient when I...

Traded with extreme patience today as was my intention. I'm no longer concerned about making "X" amount of ticks per day. Just focused on patience, taking valid set ups and managing properly. 4 of 5 trades managed perfectly. Last trade took BE exit but should have given a bit more room...

You have a lot of time invested in me. The only person I was pissed off at was me for letting us both down. Yes, indeed. It's one thing I've learned on this journey is try to be a little less critical/frustrated with myself. It helped to let go of those pissed off feelings and focus on...

Good focus and discipline today. I held a couple trades longer than I like BUT that's good. Too often I have wrongly exited early because trades weren't moving "fast" enough in my direction. Today I properly held through normal pullback/ consolidations. Missed a trade when I wasn't looking, oh...

I gotta say at times I felt a little whipsawed and shaken. I was able to remind myself to focus and relax. Checked my trades intra day and all were good. I switched to NQ right before CL took a nice drop. I had been taking shorts on CL that weren't going yet. oh well. 1 mistake in NQ bringing...

Will do. Thanks. I'm printing that post as a reminder.
