hey, noticed that you are a fighter, you will make it...perhaps little more defensive attitude, just for staying in the game... happy trading

hello just some statistical thought. if you take a loss on 3 contracts, lets say $150 - $200, thats about 4% of your account...your "risk of ruin" is not that far away, you only need 4 or 5 losing trades in a row and you are down by 20%...you then need 25% to just break even...not mentioned...

here is a "trading plan" i once found on a site of linda raschke, just got this "copy" no link, sorry.

...you better work on that, chances are, that there has started a period on the 3th of july - could easily last couple of weeks - where trading from the long side is recommended :) look at this http://www.mrci.com/lbr/charts/20020705/4.htm :) trading

hey, your results compared with your account size is quite pretty. if your results are consistent by now, you just have to increase your position size... happy trading

I always thought the # buyers = #sellers. Try more askers than bidders.;) [/B] ..lol...try this one: if the need of the sellers to sell is greater than the need of the buyer to buy...that drives prices down....and vice versa :) trading

great thread. i am also thinking about, who to overcome those psychological limitations within a trader. the "to do so as if" is not going far enough IMO. you have to open a second account, place an "operator" on the other side of your desk and advice this person, strictly to open the...

with small funds, i believe, you are better off by trading the smallest timeframe available with 2 or 3 contracts, than trading the highest timeframe possible with 1 contract. and you dont have to ask yourself that kind of question: is 950 the turn around or not...??? when you trade on...

IMO the problem here is about trading ONE contract versus trading TWO (or multiple) contracts. if you enter a winning trade with only 1 contract, you finally get stopped out at some point, because you need to protect your gains (in other words, you are feeling "fear" of losing your profits)...

@dizzyspell that sounds amazing... how do you enter ? on market order or buy/sell stop order ?

@janko "The way that i like to get into some of my trades i first look at the 60 min, then 30 then 15 then 5 and then 1 in for entry." ok, but what is the timeframe, you trade on ? what i want to say is, you can look at all the timeframes, but first you have to determine the timeframe...

hello, the way down from 10.00 AM to 11.30 AM was great "retracement" trading...on this kind of downtrend you can find often an A-B-C corrective wave up or "bearflag" for entry. dont hook on the EMAs too much (there is always an EMA waiting), just watch the patterns. but what did i tell...

hello huios, as teresa lo once said, there are only 2 setups: retracements + tests, so you are on the right track with your entry. but as you can read everywhere, entries didnt decide the game anyway. perhaps you have to see things together: a) timeframe b) risk c) target d) account...

hello all, i scanned alot throug the "educational charts" on the LBR site in former times, and i wonder, what else could happen in the RTchat for §350...isnt it the same thing as in the edu-chart ? those grails, antis, 3 pushes up/down, flaggs, the SMA enter trick...over and over...market...
