    29 turning 30. 11 years of trading. First profiting year Journal 1

    8/4 -$7098 Dang. I saw NG could start higher but i was expecting it to start higher and go steadily down. Thought overnight if I should cut my position in half but I was like whatever, let's just go with it. Well that small thought ruined me today.. this is why you never go all in all the time...

    I use the ETFs as a guide. It only shows movement during open hours unlike NG futures chart which shows the whole 24 hrs. I think just seeing open hour movements give a easier sense of the direction of NG, the momentum buildup, and during open market hours it is easier to spot a "fake" movement...

    8/3/2021 -$2778 Didnt trade in the morning. In the afternoon after the NG sudden rise, I thought it was a fake and it would go down so I shorted. Made $1000. Didn't exit because I thought it would go down a lot more so doubled my position. NG went the other way. I guess I only feel uneasy when I...

Something that hit me really hard just moments ago was I am making a significant amount of money.. but for what? I didn't do anything...

    @Cuddles well i didnt think i would have losing years for 10 years @Overnight not an ego problem. i just love trading. i love the game. it was a rollercoaster getting to over 25k with futures. i think i can get similar win percentages with stocks but money movements will be a lot smaller so i...

    7/30/2021 +$669 Was waiting for NG's fall for over a week and yesterday I was scared it may not move as I expected so I decided to exit my positions and just go in again during market open hours. NG started the day much lower and I couldn't capitalize on the massive overnight drop. Sigh.. I...

    What's up guys. I'm going to start a new journal just posting all of my daily results. Hopefully it will give me an incentive to trade safer each day. I've been trading since 2010 and this is the first year where I'm actually making a profit. I've been having a good streak and thought it...

    4/23 -$972 oh dear.. I don't play the report moves. My prediction was after the report, NG will shoot up and than trickle down until EOD. That was a rough rough prediction just based on the opening level of NG compared to the previous close. And that is exactly what happened during trading...

    4/22 +$222 NG! Today was the day the big boys prove they are big boys, and losers can go suck it. If you sat on the sidelines, go practice some more and come back - needing more practice isn't something to be embarrassed about; thinking you're ready and getting owned is what you want to avoid...

    4/21 +$321 Wow NG went really high yesterday. I was targeting NG to go to 1.911 level, maybe even higher, within next 2 days (today and tomorrow) but really didn't think it would go all up to that level in a single day (yesterday). Super surprised and a little disappointed that I missed out, yet...

    4/20 +$272 My goal was to get $100 today but NG charts were being nice to me and was going my way each time i went in the trade. Played it safe, not trying to get couple ticks more before exiting, yet ended with a lot of profits. Markets still going and im on a roll but its approaching 9am PST...
