Depends if your platform has a function to date and time stamp entries. If so, your can annotate what your platform records. Also, check if your platform has a function that can mark entries and exits on your chart. Most platforms have that function.

Not an indicator guy, but using a simple 3 day swing works just fine compared to looking at higher time frames. Not sure why an intra-day trader would look at a weekly or monthly chart when he's trying for short term moves regardless of what the long term trend is doing.

I can relate to your current progress to manage emotions. Trying NOT to feel fear of losing profits when the market is moving in our favor is a daily challenge, especially when adding to a position. Thanks for sharing.:thumbsup:

I also use Tradovate, but find Tradestation mobile very quick/user friendly.

Many traders/investors make market predictions because they're driven by a need to be right, and/or a desire to be valued by their peers. Regardless, I hope you're trading ideas are successful.

I see it really is true that math teachers tend to be astute. You are right on the money.:thumbsup: I appreciate all the responses.

Some could improve their finances by moving to a new location. As an example.. Californians in the 32% Federal tax bracket are also paying an 11% State tax. I have no idea how anyone can afford to live in that State. Regardless of their reasons, people live with paying such onerous taxes...

Hi schizo, Agreed. I think that's one of the reasons many traders keep looking, trying, testing, and searching for knowledge that turns consistent profits.

Wow, SimpleMeLike Your statement about a spouse is unable to help in trading is incredibly untrue. I think maybe you mean, a man needs to have the right wife, and one who is supportive in his trading endeavors to be of help. Making a general statement like that is not very intelligent sir. I...

Hi Noah, My wife is 100% supportive and trades also. As for leaving my wife, I'd give up trading before I would ever consider leaving my wife. My cat is crazy, even if you shut the door it growls like a lion at the door. But it's something we've learned to deal with. Appreciate your insight.

Hi SimpleMeLike Just be aware that the author is someone already doing it as proven on his Live Trading Telegram channel. He does shares insight on what it takes to gain an edge in the markets. I've learned to glean insight and wisdom from successful traders. To your trading success.

Hi there MathTeacher, My mantra is "KEEP PUSHING FORWARD" In the hope the market keeps moving in my direction!

Hi there SimpleMeLike, I like your attitude about winning every day. I also find your perspective about losing interesting. A book that resonates with me when it comes to handling losses is Tom Hougaard's book "The Best Loser Wins". If you haven't already, you might find it an interesting read.

This is of course just my humble opinion (I'm trying to be humble):) The more I trade the more I realize I'm not just trading the markets, but trading against myself or with myself. The end of last year I started making some bone head mistakes and went into a slump. Part of my strategy is to...

Hi DFrancesa, If a million traders told you it's a fantastic strategy would it influence you to use it? If a million traders told you that strategy does not work, would it influence you not to try it? Ok, now let's get a little more deep. If the majority of traders are on the losing side of...

It helps immensely to use a platform that offers Simulated Trading and Market replay. Both of which are essential to develop strategy. Starting an account over 50k implies an experienced trader. If you are not experienced, you'll just be frustratingly throwing your equity to the sharks...

I tested NT8 last year, and at least twice a month ALWAYS on Sunday night I would have to call customer service because their platform/servers were not running. Which brought back nightmares of using TOS.:mad: I use two platforms, so along with tradovate I thought it would be cost effective...

It's Amazing what avoiding any form of sexual indulgence, thoughts or sexual gratification for at least 30 days will do for creativity/intuition.

I hope you'll prepare for the next FALSE move to make money. I always do. :)

Look back the past year. Actually any year. Once NQ makes a major move, which ever direction it's running between 9:30am to 10:30 am..it will continue to run..usually till EOD.
