1st Week -926 2nd Week +942 3rd Week -801 4th Week -250 I'm on a vacation this week, but still trading. I'm really starting to not feel losses anymore, but I'm not sure if thats a good thing. I'm visiting my dad, and I'm showing him how I daytrade while he shouts at me which way he...

Hey, great videos for a newbie here, thanks. Does the audio squeak at random times for anyone else?

Not a good trading day. Every trade was horrible. Did not blow up too much, but very undisciplined trading today. I'm stopping for the day. I'm so confused at the DJ right now, it's extremely choppy and headfaking me like crazy. Account is in the red again, but not by much. -628 today...

Today was a rollercoaster, broke ALOT of rules and am lucky I didn't completely blow up. Trading with less stop usage, multiple contracts, impulse trading, and feeling fear and greed every single trade. Put too much emotion into these trades, and now that the account is positive again, I'm...

Took another trade as IB was screwing up, didn't have the chart, just the price ticker. Caught a little bit of the 3pm rally. +560 today Discipline(1-10): 2.8 (should've stayed away) I'm gonna call it a day, IB is acting very screwy.

IB seems to be down. Traded gold and YM today. Gold was great, YM not so much. Took a couple trades against my rules, and hurt profits. +400 Today. Discipline (1-10): 3.0 Account sits at 10,136. In the black finally! IB better be fixed for the final hour, come on baby!

took a break and closed tws, 20 mins later logged back on and... no data!! arrrrgh

Really? That stinks... I guess I'll trade the HSI when I get over 12K then.

thanks supervol. only i can grade my own trading.. so i can use it as a gauge to see how well i think im following my rules, and breaking the rules is so easy, which sucks. bandit77, i'm trading 1 contract at a time for each commodity, 1 for gold and 1 for ym. i'm sure the margin req is...

nice trade youngtrader. Are you holding the RB/HO spread at the moment (short HO, long rb)? It's been moving farther and farther apart for some reason, I'm wondering if there's a good entry point there coming up.

I actually deposited more than 10k, but i decided i'd only risk 10 in futures- so that's the figure im using in this journal. I didn't know the margin req for HSI was so large. Today was a mixed bag. Did a very undisciplined trade early on in the Dow that cost me. I traded gold and the dow...

thx for your comments, but i really hope you're wrong allenhobbs. I was treating this like vegas 2 weeks ago, but tonight i felt very confident trading in the direction of the trend on the HSI. i'm not limiting myself to the YM anymore, after last week where i sat on the sidelines watching the...

first trade of the week tonight. 2 trades, both long the HSI. it's trying to come back from a -1000 deficit at opening. captured 400usd.

Week 3: Mon +140 Tues -1266 Wed +148 Thu +281 Fri -104 Week 1: -926 Week 2: +942 Account sits at 9,144 from 10,000. I've decided I'm gonna rate myself daily on how well I think I followed my rules and how much I was affected by emotion either before or after. It's on a scale of...

Did a few trades in gold and the mini dow today. Lost some in gold and gained some back in the dow. Overall -104 today. Im gonna post a weekly recap later tonight.

ammo, thanks for the advice, i really appreciate it Today i stayed away from the Dow again. I don't know if it's struck fear in me, or just because I'm looking for some regularity im simply not seeing. Took 1 long contract before 10am, got out when it looked bad with a 4pt loss. I traded...

Another choppy dow day. Couldn't get in at the right time at all. 3 for 3 stop outs in the YM. 8 gold trades +148

thx for the advice guys, will be looking into that read pt199. Today, took a trade premarket, stopped out at 50. While waiting for the market to settle down, i took on a gold trade, got out with -280. Tried to trade the news, but decided to pay attention to the signals. Now im up 236 for...

Thought it through thoroughly on the ride back from work, today wasn't too bad. Decided that I would quit my job as a futures broker, and concentrate strictly on trading. Today was just a rude awakening why stops are so important. Took a couple of winners and losers into lunch, and was...

sigh, mkt fustrated me today and i started getting very sloppy. now i gotta go back to basics tomorrow, 1 car at a time, no funny business. last week i woulda revenged my way back, but i gotta crawl before i walk, fuck. 19 RTs. -1260 today. fuck.
