Oh Boy! I could deffinitely use getting rid of the often deafening mental chatter for a short time each day... I think you just said the magic words... :) Thank you Natalie

Does music help with meditation or should there be silence? Natalie

Just keep taking the tablets... (sorry couldn't resist!) :D Natalie

Well, I knew that it happened but never really thought much about it. I'm always too busy preparing it to worry about things liek that... :-)

OMG! More Fractals. Are you 2 related? (I still don't understand that word...) On a different note, what about re-incarnation as in Chicken comes back as a fox. Kinda like - trader blows up his/her account, learns a lesson, and comes back again with new funding and starts doing well...

Hot keys (if you use them) can't be set to have different setting for different symbols. If you want to use Bracket orders or stops added to the order via hotkeys (which should be quite quick), you have to redo the settings to change symbols. It's a pain. - Ideally should be able to set up the...

I just knew you would come up with something like that... :P LOL Natalie

Hi Trader99 Which of course brings us straight back to the title of the thread - How Do Yall Maintain your Discipline?? Looks like a never ending circle along the lines of what came first the chicken or the egg... (The eternal conundrum) :) Natalie btw what did come first... :eek:

Hi Nitro Someone once said to me something very profound that has stuck with me for years. "Good ideas are dime a dozen but people who make them work are priceless!" After all this uncommon praise I wonder what am I setting myself up for here...? (I'm sure I'm going to regret this...

Another thought. If you have a simulator, you can sit down for a couple of days, and run through maybe 2 months of charts (speeded up), and call the trades and write down all the thought processes. From this exercise you will quickly see where and how you are going wrong and where and how...

Yeah - looks that way... Natalie

Here we go again. Don't you guys ever stop? :eek: Natalie

Thanks Stock777. That's what I thought you meant, but wondered if this might be another term I'm not familiar with. Natalie added as an afterthought. In another thread, someone is asking about the market depth and why the price seems to go towards the larger size (That appears blocked...

Please explain. What do you mean by resting size? Thank you Natalie

I keep a notepad beside me at all times and write raw notes of my thought processes through the day. Every trade whether taken or left on the table is noted, the entry, exit, and why and all the processes in between. Takes a moment to write it down. I even have a shorthand method of doing it and...

Beware going the same way of others that have made their names on one good call, and then lost their rep later from a series of bad ones... Good call though - let's see what happens next :) Natalie

Hi Walter, The friday before a holiday weekend is usually a bit of a non-day anyway, and the environment today was no different. They usually look to me like an excellent opportunity to take 4 days off and come back refreshed on tuesday... Natalie

That's a far cry from "YM moves in chunks of 3-5 points all the time." Incidentally, when the market is moving fast and size on ES collapses, that also lurches 2 or 3 ticks before you could possible catch it. NQ can be even worse. The only rason ES actually touches all points in between...

I can only speak for myself and my usual slippage trading YM is 1 or 2 points. I did have 1 trade with 4 points, but that was mainly due to slow feed problems. Also, YM mostly trades through very smoothly indeed, and not in the 3-5 points chunks suggested (or at least not that I've seen...
