I cant speak for him, but that looks pretty similar to mine when I first started. In my case it was some beginners luck, followed by some over-confident large size combined with me thinking I knew what i was doing. It turned into a more straight forward downward sloping line until I took a...

There may be an edge when you look at the price action in the pattern in relation to other recent price action. If you view it through that lens it may provide some insight to market psychology, supply/demand dynamics, etc. In order to gain any insight from the price action do you really need...

Was this guy trying to trigger some stops or did he just really want to see a $100 print?

*Republic of Texas :p

I guess you chose not to read the section above where he mentioned going over "model specifics, the market, the price level, and their profit and stop/loss levels" with clients. Winning percentage is part of evaluating performance, you cant determine your risk adjusted return without it...

You do relaize request from a random message board poster means dick. Im pretty sure there is no law on the books that says you have to deliver account statements on any messageboard it is requested on. Im certain he in no danger. All you cocks already have your minds made up, in your head he...

how much have you had to drink?

What are other people supposed to contribute to your journal? You call trades, which is cool, but you dont really give any reasoning or commentary regarding your entries or exits. You dont post any charts, etc. Is everyone on ET supposed to stop by and congratulate you when you post "Should...

Just curious, what are you planning on doing with this text? Will these be notes that are updated and acted upon frequently? You could always just save an image of the txt in Paint and set it as your desktop. That would give you 100% transparency. Would be a pain if you plan on doing...

Trademonster will let you set up an account and papertrade without funding it. I believe they have free intraday charting as well. Best of luck with your illiquid etf strategy.

if you dont even know the symbols of the etfs how do you know its a profitable system? Im more confused now than before.

you can paper trade for free through several avenues.

This guy seems legit

If the OP insist on trading live he can swing trade a few shares of SPY. Price action is price action, and taking real heat is taking real heat, the timeframe is irrelevant. At least that will slow down his losses and maybe he can pick up some knowledge. I still say he should park most of...

His 3k will be gone in a week. Not much time to gain much of a life lesson, if anything it will just encourage the gamblers mentality side of trading. OMG I HAD THOSE 2 WINNERS, JUST NEED TO PUT ANOTHER 1K IN AND I CAN MAKE IT ALL BACK, GOTTA MAKE IT ALL BACK.

Plenty of sharks in the spiders too. And him mentioning trying to trade profitably with a 1pt stop on a 3k account validates stock777s post. It doesnt matter what he trades or where he trades it, at this time hes going to lose it all.

Your 1 pt stops will get tagged, relentlessly. Your 3/4 point stops, forget about it. And stock777 is right, at this point you will probably lose everything no matter how big your account. Work full time + save cash + free Ninja Trader + Market replay + practice = a chance of success...
