There was a time when no matter what type of day it was choppy or trending I would lose $$. Then it got to when on the 'easier' trending days i would see what to do but didn't have the discipline to execute properly and i would lose. Then most recently on the 'easy' days i was able to see the...

It's a funny thing weighing how much of the performance is due to me or the market conditions. Ideally it would all be market conditions but the reality is I am still part of the system. At least now I can usually tell where the mistakes if any are whereas in the past I was just left with a WTF...

oh yeah, definitely have considered that. Today I felt good so not sure it was a factor. It has been on some other Mondays. Things I will start watching for going forward and will have to track. 1) performance on Mondays compared to other days. Could be fatigue or too eager. 2) performance...

Not a good day for my methods. Chop & deep PB trends. Looks like two trades I moved stop too tight. Actually it's per plan but given the pullbacks going on I should allow a bit more room. I encountered this problem before. Overall mental state was fine. Need to come in tomorrow even more...

Thanks Handle. Feel free to post whatever you like here. jas

While showering etc this a.m. had some self doubts and concerns about finishing the week well. Reminded myself that I do fine when patient and focused, that my system is good and if it has a loss it's not a reflection of me, and that it doesn't matter that it's Friday- it's just another day in a...

:) Thanks. I think one reason for quitting early was so i'll be fresh for tomorrow. I will be patient and focused tomorrow. jas

Handle, those big bars were after inventory report. Could/would you make an exception to your big bar rule in that case ? thanks

Quitting early today. Got to bed later than normal last night and slept in today. Then instead of rushing to get here I took my time, stayed relaxed and didn't worry about missing moves. I was rested and focused when my session began. First, and only, trade I saw setting up and thought that...

oh, and you too JS !

thanks Slugar ! I really appreciate it ! Looking forward to hearing positive updates from you.

Not much to say today. Better job trading the plan. Still need improvement. Did well holding for targets. My mindset is quite calm. Happy with progress. 8 trades + 42 ticks

I give myself a couple more days and if my discipline doesn't improve there will be a little ass kickin despite what I said yesterday.:eek: Exiting trades too soon. One good thing is I think I'm seeing the market a bit differently than last week. It feels more familiar. I don't want this to...

Yes it does. I'd heard before the saying that the market is an expensive place to learn about oneself and that to be successful one must change. I didn't quite understand it and believe I asked once 'what has to change, who will I become ?' Well, I know now through conversations with myself...

oh, and just because I'm trying to be kinder to myself doesn't mean RN or anybody else needs to be. A slap upside the head and a kick in the butt from outside sources helps me too. And I always appreciate the good intentions. :)

I got in a little later than usual just to be sure I was properly rested. So focus was good today. Choppy day. I believe it was the narrowest range this year. Trades were not getting much follow through. Because of that I exited my last trade early and took +9. Holding another 10 minutes would...

No problem Alpha. It was all on topic and interesting as far as I'm concerned. Feel free to post anytime. Good trading to you as well. jas

thanks. Program keeps shutting down and generates an error log. Got a support ticket emailed in. Hope to give it a try later.

Thanks, RN . Good weekend to you. I think 2+ weeks back. Hence the warranted impatience. ;) p.s. finally got around to purchasing neuro programmer. been playing with that yesterday a today.

If I throw out Monday it was a good week. If only. First trade today was beautiful. Uncomfortable on entry but took the valid trigger. Price went +20 it bounced & I dismissed urge to grab 'something' around +10, then back to +4, . Moved target a little closer to +20 then put it back (actually...
