Sold a LOD around 11:40 -2.25 +3 for the day Pretty sure these LOD sells rarely work for me. I'll have to stop taking these and look for better entries.

-2.25 on Monday . No trades yesterday +5.25 today so far. Have work to do so won't be watching market for a couple hours. Thought the market had a shot at a nice collapse this morning but wrong again. Maybe this afternoon. The fill on my exit was not where i would have liked. Maybe...

Ahhh ! I want the trade back. I want the points ! What was i thinking ? kidding. :D Have a great weekend traders.

Today i'm trying to focus on staying relaxed and focused on PA while in the trade. Also trying to not get shaken out of profitable trades. There were good reasons for exiting my second trade earlier, rev bar at low, 2b buy, but the trend looked steeply down and volatile so i stayed with it. I...

I'll post one chart that will perhaps help shame me in to better trading. I get shaken out of good trades too often. 1st trade long exited too soon -1.5 when a small supp area was TESTED. I think i was looking at a smaller time frame chart that probably made it look worse than it was. entry...

Thanks JP Price will, at times, suggest where it will go. Believe what you see, act quickly and watch for signs of price rejection. Something like that ? Despite my lack of profits i've finally come to believe success is not a question of 'if' but 'when'.

Left click on 'trade # " heading Very nice trading.

Trading is so easy......after the fact. 2 trades net = 0 pts, Errors = 3 ? 1st trade went + 6.75 MFE . I thought about exiting at +6 but decided to use PA for the exit. ended up +2.25 My ultimate goal is to make 3-6 pts a day. My current goal is to become a profitable and consistent...

Thanks Sam. Been a busy week end . I'll go back and read your older posts.

Very nice Sam ! I like how you're adding to winners too.

Psych issues today. I hate seeing $$ left on the table or the points i could have made if i had entered when i first thought about it. Today: Missed a trade short. Next went long and got stopped out but quickly reversed short. The second trade was good for 9.75. So now i'm up +7.5 for the...

pullback to the DB

I think that's 5 waves down. As good as time as any to have a bounce

Nothing exciting to report. 3 trades, - 1.25 total. Still feeling out of synch a bit. My regular workload is increasing and is probably a source of distraction. Even if i'm devoting the first couple hours to trading there's still other work to be done in the back of my mind. No worries...

Oh, i just had a flash back to sim trading when i had that 'how tough can this be attitude" I think i did something like 20+ trades in two days and 90% losers. :D That'll wake you up. But you're right. My instincts are a tad better now. Thanks for the support, JP !

Today i was patient when i should have been entering and entering when i should have been patient. 2 trades - 3.00 total. I haven't seen such a wide choppy range before that i recall. Lot's of opportunities but missed them. I'm still having a problem acting on what i see sometimes. I...

No focus today. A bit tired maybe. Missed a good long entry and then didn't feel like chasing the trend although that's what i should have done (up to a point) So no trades. Last week i talked about keeping track of my "psych. issues" so i printed up a calendar and i'm keeping track now...

Recap for the day. as previously posted -1.25 on first trade 2nd trade was an embarrassed- to- post- chart long trade stopped out -2.25 3rd went short about 12:22 and exit 12:57 for +6.75 Net for day +3.25 My entries still need work. I'm hesitating about 30 seconds to a minute +...

JP, Your comments are always appreciated and worth paying attention to. When you told me to put a MA on my charts a while back i honestly didn't see the value. Now after a time of using it , it's starting to click. I do look at a 5 minute chart as well. Thanks for the advice i'll be...

The old ' let's give this one a try ' trade ? Rarely works for me. Trend looks a little too strong for me to anticipate a DT. Might want to tighten up your stop when support seemed to hold. Still learning myself but patience and knowing your set ups seems key so far for me. good luck.
